sorry Guapo. Wallace looked good.

Sounds like they are screwing around with the schedule again

Wallace will stay in. No news and is good news Guapo
 
They keep compacting the schedule, presumably worried about weather Friday and over the weekend. The more they compact it, the more they favor teams with deeper staffs. I don't think that's us.

Nothing you can do but go out and play. Obviously, Gardner giving us at least 6 innings later and the team scoring enough runs to give Penders some breathing room when he goes to the pen is the way you help yourselves here. And trying to go 4-0, rather than having to win it by playing 6.

But first you win this one. Two more outs to get.

Really good, clean game in all 3 phases. We will win a lot of tournament games playing like this.

UCF was a team with deep pitching, so it is favorable to us that they were booted early.
 
Not having to use Poulin probably means he can go more than an inning in Game 2, if necessary.
 
Winning the Wichita game is key in that it reduces by one the number of games it will take to win the championship or get to the finals. Win and we are 2 wins away and play no more than 3 more. Lose and we need 4 more wins and have to play 4 more games to win the tournament.

I think they will do whatever it takes to win the nightcap and worry about tomorrow tomorrow. Unless we're behind the only two pitchers Gardner is handing the ball to I would guess are Cate and PJ. In a perfect world, they only have to use one of Cate and PJ and not both.
 
With Gardner, Kersten, Colby, PJ, Cate, Simeone, CJ, Holmes, Dan and limited usage on Wallace, UConn is in very good shape
 
It will be interesting to see if/how they use Cate. I would assume he still feels good. My thought is don't use him unless it's in the championship game. He may be able to give us 3-4 (maybe 5) solid innings. If not, get him ready for the NCAA Tournament.

In other CT baseball news.....Columbia won the Ivy League Championship Series, taking the first two games in the best-of-three series. After winning 4-0 yesterday, the Lions won this afternoon, 2-1, in 15-innings.
