Connor Lane Update:

Oh well, I had been looking forward to seeing Connor Lane at the catcher spot in UConn baseball games. Hopefully he will do okay as a pitcher.

Wow. I am rooting for Connor!

-> “What people don’t give Jackson enough credit for, he’s a really good hitter, not just a power hitter,” Penders said. “He took his singles, went to the opposite field, stayed in the at-bat, two-out RBI. He was out MVP tonight (against URI).”

Though he made an error Tuesday, he’s made only four all season, and he stole a couple of outs for UConn with his stretching ability.

Marshall has accomplished all this with a congenital condition, which was discovered when he was 12 or 13. “I’m missing two bones in each foot,” he said.

“They cave in, so I have custom orthotics. I go to doctors in Boston and they work me, they’ve been great, got me out here to play. I used to not be able to walk very well, it used to hurt to walk. At least that’s not happening.” He walks and runs on the inside edge of his feet, so he wears out cleats quickly.

“People look at his feet and think, ‘he’s not very athletic,'” Penders said. “But he is very balanced. He’s overcome that. He wears out shoes like crazy, our equipment room can’t keep them in stock.” <-

If we want to win the Big East regular season, we most likely will have to go 9-0. But that's perfectly doable with the remaining schedule, and if we do it Creighton, the Johnnies and X haven't played each other yet so that's 9 losses to be divided up among those three schools.

This weekend possibly may be the most challenging of the 3 remaining. But, as stated earlier, this is probably the best “lineup” for UCONN defensively, what we saw last night. Belisario keeps doing what he’s doing and Rispoli and Dalena start to really produce, we could be just fine.

BIg East standings as of 4/26/26:

Creighton @ St. John’s next weekend.

Xavier & UConn both out of conference

 

[uconnbaseball]

The top 4 teams in the conference are basically set. I would like to play Xavier in the 1st round of the tournament as they lack a #1 pitcher. Both Creighton and SJ have two solid starters, then a massive dropoff. We have 4, which is a big advantage…if we can win that first game.

These are the guys I suspect the staff to go to in the postseason. With Drew Smith being the 9th guy if needed. No lefty out of the pen. But with 3 lefty starters thats not as big of a concern as it typically would.
