Jimmy Wang gets the start this morning...

I wonder what is the status of Kersten today? If UConn loses the 10am game, will he start the second game today? Or will he come in and relieve again if UConn has an early lead?

One thing Penders has done in the past when UConn is in the winners bracket on semi final Saturday is start a lesser pitcher in the hope of stealing a game, thereby having a better pitcher available for the finals on Sunday. With two bites at the apple to get into the finals, in the past he has been willing to gamble on this.

The game of chess begins... Wichita starting a freshman who hasn't pitched since the 18th of May but got 12-5 win versus UConn back @ DDP in beginning of May.
 
That looks like a solid lineup that will improve even more when Nuc returns!

We should intentionally walk O'Brien tomorrow in all situations...even with the bases loaded! ;)

Ok... you may have been right... doubles in the first inning w/ man on to put men on 1st and 2nd w/ 1 out.
 
A walk leaves the bases loaded with one out in the top of the 1st for Jimmy Wang.
 
Ground out leads to an out and a run. 1-0 Wichita State with 2 out, runners at the corners.

K limits the damage to 1 run. I like Wang's composure and velocity; the main thing I would work on if I were him this offseason is his deceptiveness.

Also, Wang hasn't pitched all that much since his junior year in high school, so he didn't throw much at all for two years before this season. Have to think the coaching staff has also been watching his innings. Should be interesting to see how much improvement he shows next season.

Bottom 1st, 2 out single by Woodworth, advances to 2B on a wild pitch. Pat Winkel strikeout ends the inning. 1-0 Shockers.
 
Anybody watching this through roku?

All I'm getting are past games offered on demand with no live feeds. I always got live feeds before

Wasn’t working for me the other day... I gave up trying.
 
Top 2nd, one out walk followed by a double has two runners on base. Dunlop coming into the game.

Man...if it takes us 2 games to finish this team, I have no idea what will be left over pitching-wise for tomorrow.

That's true. However, I doubt the Wurster, Dandeneau, Wallace combo will pitch in this game unless UConn has a lead late in the game. Going to have to depend on Dunlop, Johnson, Mayock, and possibly others to get the job done, and see if UConn has the lead in the late innings.
 
Damn, Wang fell apart those last 2 batters after the strikeout to start the inning.
