UConn @ #9/#11 Texas Tech (Friday 3/12/21 @ 3p ET, Saturday 3/13 @ 3p, Sunday 3/14 @ 3p, Monday 3/15@ 11a). All on ESPN+/WHUS

[dbmill]

Sac fly makes it 1-0 for Tech. Two out. A single brings in another run to make it 2-0 going to the top of the 2nd.

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, scoreless inning for the UConn bats.

Peterson looks hurt

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, Texas Tech lead off single leads to another run. 3-0. Peterson hits another batter with one out. Athletic trainer comes out to the mound to check out Peterson, and he comes out of the game with some sort of injury. The news keeps getting worse this weekend with an injury to a starting pitcher who has been pretty effective in previous appearances this season.

Bullpen has a lot of innings to throw over the next couple of days.

Jimmy Wang coming in

 

[dbmill]

Wang with two strikeouts to get out of the inning. Good to see him get some outs, as he hasn't been all that effective in previous appearances this season. 3-0 Tech.

 

[BaseballDog]

Jimmy looking good so far. Up to 95 mph

 

[BaseballDog]

First hit off of a lefty this year for Chris Winkel

 

[BaseballDog]

Chris now tied for team lead in SB with Bushling with 3

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, Simmons with a two out double to drive in Chris Winkel. 3-1 going to the bottom of the 3rd.

 

[BaseballDog]

Just love hbps with 2 strikes

Just love hbps with 2 strikes

They’re going to start to take this personal.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, a single brings in a run with 1 out. 4-1. With the two hit by pitches this inning, this more resembles the Jimmy Wang we have seen previously this season. Another single brings in two more runs to make it 6-1. UConn pitchers with 5 hit by pitches so far today.

 

[BaseballDog]

Favieri throwing in the pen

 

[BaseballDog]

Crawford leading the team with 19 strikeouts

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, Pat Winkel with a leadoff double is stranded on base.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, Sam Favieri takes the mound. Hits the first batter in the head.

Reggie Crawford out of the game. Chris Jones thinks he is having a problem with his contact lenses. Chris Winkel now playing 1B, Kevin Ferrer to LF, Simmons to CF.

This is comical at this point. You don’t see 6 HBP in less than 4 innings in little league games

 

[BaseballDog]

Least competitive game we have had all year so far

Least competitive game we have had all year so far

Knew it was going to be big trouble when Peterson had to come out early due to the apparent injury. Don't know if the injury was the cause of his wildness in the 1st inning.

Doubt things are going to get any better tomorrow with a big question mark on who will be the starting pitcher for UConn.

Hope they keep sharp items away from Josh McDonald tonight...

 

[BaseballDog]

35 pitch inning for Sam

 

[dbmill]

8-1 after 4 innings. UConn pitchers now with 6 hit by pitches and 4 walks. Pretty depressing, with seeming no end in sight with the freebies from the pitchers.

 

[dbmill]

One bright spot today. Simmons with 3 hits, the last one a double to drive in a run to make it 8-2.

 

[BaseballDog]

T.C. now batting a team leading .364
