A former player, Doug is a passionate, long-time member of the UConn baseball family. He was a founding member of the Dugout Club, the program's support group, in 1991. His son also suited up for the Huskies. Penders immediately thought of the generous, dedicated couple when athletic director David Benedict informed him of the difficult news on Monday. "I've reached out to them," Penders said. "They're such good people. They're more worried about our guys' health and them getting home okay, and are they in touch with their families, and it's important to social distance. "Doug was worried about my cough in a post-game interview last week. That's just the kind of person that he is. He's texting me, 'Are you okay? You've got to take care of your health. Are your lungs okay?' "So, I'm thinking of him and he's thinking of us."< [/QUOTE]
