UConn and the 2019 AAC Baseball Championship Tournament

[uconnbaseball]

Maybe start Johnson in the 9th to try and save Wallace if we're still up by 5 or more...

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, first two Shocker hitters on with singles.

 

[UConnNick]

Six outs away from the champ game...let's go Huskies!

 

[dbmill]

Ground out gets the first out. Runners advance to 2B and 3B.

 

[UConnNick]

Runners at second and third...need a K here.

 

[dbmill]

Sac fly to Kyler, 7-3 UConn with two out, runner at 3B.

 

[lavuuk153]

Sac fly makes it 7-3. I’ll gladly trade the run for an out.

 

[dbmill]

Ground out gets the third out. 7-3 UConn lead going to the bottom of the 8th. Wurster at 21 pitches.

 

[lavuuk153]

3 outs away. Let’s see if the offense can tack on some runs.

 

[CL82]

Let's get a run or two....

 

[uconnbaseball]

Wurster does his job, and should be available for an inning tomorrow. I will take it.

 

[lavuuk153]

I hope we can avoid using Wallace here.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Let's get a run or two....

Would be huge - I want Wallace available for multiple innings tomorrow.

 

[dbmill]

I hope we can avoid using Wallace here.

I expect Wallace to come in unless UConn gets a run this inning.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, one out, and Gozzo gets UConn's tenth walk of the game, which brings on another Shocker pitching change. Ben Maycock pinch runs for Gozzo.

Shocker

.... badadum.

 

[UConnNick]

They're almost at one pitcher used per inning...seven pitchers used in eight innings.

 

[dbmill]

Stolen base and a wild pitch puts Maycock at 3B with 2 out. Chris Winkel walks for his third walk of the game, so runners at the corners.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Yet another C Winkel walk. Wow.

 

[dbmill]

Botched pick off throw brings in a run. 8-3 UConn.

 

[CL82]

Wild throw to first! One more across!

 

[uconnbaseball]

That pitch looked way inside, after an earlier breaking ball thrown down the middle was called a ball. Oh well.

8-3...hoping for some Johnson this afternoon.

 

[dbmill]

Jake Wallace in to pitch the 9th.

 

[huskymedic]

Here comes Wally... 8-9-1 on tap.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Damn...I guess we want to lock up a 2 seed in a regional? I don't thinknposing tomorrow makes us a 3 seed, nor does boatracing this tournament make us a host without a win over ECU.

 

[UConnNick]

Penders is not messing around...Wallace in to close it.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Just to note that I know better than Penders so this criticism is very justified.

 

[dbmill]

Wallace walks the first batter, strikes out the next for the first out.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Leadoff walk to the #9 hitter really sucks, but nice rebound to strike out the next guy with some nasty sliders.

 

[dbmill]

Good time for WHUS to lose the feed.
