UConn and 2017 AAC Baseball Tournament (Schedule Change)

[dbmill]

UConn tries the dead duck play, and the Memphis pitcher bungles it. 7-5 UConn and still at bat.

Brain fart by Memphis pitcher there...

After seeing the replay looks like it my have been a designed play. They just failed to execute. Hooray for us

Winkel triple!!! UConn leads 6-5. Best game for Winkel in quite some time.

 

[dbmill]

Well, at least the top of the order will be coming up for UConn in the 9th. Now Russell needs to get through his longest stint of the year, 3.1 innings, to get the win.

[dbmill]

Easy 1-2-3 8th inning for Russell. One more inning to go for him.

 

[huskymedic]

Would a couple of more runs here be too much to ask?

 

[huskymedic]

How many guys can we have thrown out at the plate this year.

Bump...

 

[ATLDYKA]

I would think Yahn would try to avoid that collision.

Yup - reckless there.

Mid 9: Scary play as Yahn collides with Santana at the plate on a Feldstein single. Russel back out and so is Willy. 7-5 Huskies

 

[huskymedic]

They screw the count up there?

 

[ATLDYKA]

Nothing ever is easy and Penders will over pitch Russell for all its worth.

 

[dbmill]

Russell gets out of the bases loaded jam, UConn wins!!!

 

[huskymedic]

Phew... gutsy comeback. Nice win.

 

[Baseballguy]

Chris Jones really wanted that. That was quite a call. Good job Huskies.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom three of the UConn batting order produced today. They had 3 hits, 4 walks, 4 runs scored and 2 RBI. Give Winkel the star of the game with 2 hits and a walk, that hasn't happened too much this season. Hopefully this will get Winkel some confidence and get him going.

I think he's done now...

[ATLDYKA]

I think he's done now...

Oh no, if needed tomorrow he will throw him another 3 innings.

 

[hardcorehusky]

I think he's done now...

49 pitches. If we somehow survive tomorrow, maybe then Sunday.

 

[Baseballguy]

Game 1 tomorrow can be a winnable game. I do not expect Houston to throw Cumbie due to the fact we have to win twice. If we win game 1 I think we secure a NCAA at-large regardless of a potential ECU championship.

We should be in no matter what. We had a chance to get in even if we went 0-fer
