UConn and the 2019 AAC Baseball Championship Tournament

[huskymedic]

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

In Penders we trust.

 

[dbmill]

Dunlop gets a ground out for the second out. Runner holds at 3B. Wild pitch brings in a run to make it 2-0 Shockers, with a runner at 3B.

 

[uconnbaseball]

That hurts! 2-0

 

[dbmill]

Pop up gets the final out in the top of the 2nd. 2-0 Wichita State.

 

[huskymedic]

Nice convo going on btwn announcers on ADN regarding UConn’s new field and commitment to baseball program.

 

[huskymedic]

Gozzo likes mornings... leadoff double.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, lead off Gozzo double, Kyler Fedko single puts runners at the corners with no out.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Winkel walk loads the bases with no out. 8 walks in 11 games, a total turnaround for him, hope it continues.

 

[dbmill]

Chiovitti one out double brings in 2 runs to tie the game at 2.

 

[UConnNick]

Two run double for the good guys!

 

[huskymedic]

Chiovitti one out double brings in 2 runs to tie the game at 2.

“... 5th hit of the year for Chiovitti”

 

[huskymedic]

UConn chases the freshman - pitching change coming.

 

[dbmill]

2 balls thrown to Toppa, and now a pitching change for the Shockers with one out. Going to be a long game, but I was expecting that.

[dbmill]

Balk brings in a run. 3-2 UConn with one out and a runner at 3B. Toppa walks.

 

[huskymedic]

Anyway you can get them...

Anyway you can get them...

The story of college baseball. Also happens in the New York Penn League for me in Norwich when that gets going in mid June. All those players fresh out of college make plenty of mistakes.

 

[dbmill]

Prato single brings in Chiovitti. 4-2 UConn, one out. Woodworth single loads the bases with one out.

 

[dbmill]

A failed double play attempt gets the second out and another run for UConn. 5-2 Huskies and 2 out. Another pitching change after ball one to Gozzo.

 

[huskymedic]

Gozzo @ bat and 1-0 count scares the Shockers into another pitching change...

 

[uconnbaseball]

We are exploding all over them!!!!!!

 

[huskymedic]

 

[dbmill]

Colby Dunlop stays in the game for the top of the 3rd with a 5-2 UConn lead.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Be nice to get length from Dunlop today!

 

[dbmill]

Easy 1-2-3 shutdown inning for Dunlop! 5-2 UConn.

 

[Kemba429]

How the hell do you break a metal bat? Thats the most impressive thing WSU has done all morning.

 

[dbmill]

Amazing. A hitter broke his bat against Dunlop, Chris Jones then remembers that Feldstein did the same two thing two years ago with UConn and remembers the name of the pitcher that Isaac was facing. The guy has a memory. Ah, youth!

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones is talking about drinking rally cokes during these games lately. Only problem is that it breaks one of his mom's rules, no soft drinks before noon.

Nice inning for Coby. Here is how managers earn their keep. If you only care about this game, you’d give Wurster or CJ the ball now and get 2 innings each out of your big 3 knowing you have Kersten for 4 or 5 tomorrow. But if you can get through 6 innings with the lead and use your big 3 for only one inning each you are that much better off. We will see how Penders plays it but I would guess he hopes Dunlop, Johnson andmayock can get him through 6, but we don’t give up the lead unless the 3 closers give it up

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Chris Winkel stranded at 2B. 5-2 UConn going to the top of the 4th. Dunlop starts the inning.
