UConn Baseball and AAC Conference Tourney - 1st Game Wednesday v. Tulane

[huskymedic]

I'm guessing Montgomerie starts the next game.

Ding, ding, ding...

Looks like the winds have changed today and are blowing out and even a little towards left. That's good because if I recall ECU has several lefties in the lineup.

 

[huskymedic]

Gotta settle them frosh nerves and come @ 'em...

 

[ATLDYKA]

Well I feel for the kid. Think it was just nerves. Hope we can limit the damage.

Yup... but feel more for Napiarsky - tough spot to walk into. Time to giddyup.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Nice job by Nepiarsky.

Anyone else lose the feed or just me?

I can't get the site to load at all.

Davey double drives in Sundberg. 2-1 now, with UConn still up in bottom of 1st.

End 1 | East Carolina 2, #UConn 1. Huskies get a run back with Davey's league-leading 20th double of the year. Nepiarsky back out.

Melley hit that one on the screws. Too bad.

End 3 | Sundberg singles and steals his way to third in the bottom of the third but is stranded there. #UConn down 2-1, Nepiarsky back out.

Melley hit that one on the screws. Too bad.

Last 3 day that's probably a homer. Not today with the wind. Just our luck again.

 

[dbmill]

Don't know how far he can go today, but Nepiarsky is doing great. No matter what happens with the rest of the tournament, Sam is either going to be a starter or one of the main relievers next season.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Nepiarsky is dealing!! Wonder how many he can go?

 

[huskymedic]

Sigh... freshman, freshman. freshman.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Love the idea of a squeeze, just get it down fair. And then the boneheaded base running by Yahn. That is a few for him this tourney.

On WHUS, they were thinking Yahn getting caught of 1st was a set play called by Penders, a variation on the dead duck play to give the runner on third a chance to score. It has worked against UConn a few times this season, but it is a play I never cared for much.

 

[ATLDYKA]

One team gets the squeeze down and one doesn't. The little things that cost games.

Mid 5 | Pirates push another run across with a triple and a squeeze bunt. East Carolina 3,#UConn 1.

Nepiarsky still on the mound for the top of the 6th.

Mid 6 | East Carolina 3, #UConn 1. Nepiarsky is through a career-high 6.0 innings pitched.

 

[huskymedic]

Fluck, fluck, fluck!!!

 

[ATLDYKA]

My goodness we just continue to kill ourselves.

 

[johnhuskies95]

This team is absolutely infuriating with RISP. I can only imagine how Penders feels.

 

[dbmill]

Nepiarsky issues a one out walk in the 7th, and he is done for the day. Quite a performance though.

T7 | A one-out walk will end a stellar relief outing from Nepiarsky. Patrick Ruotolo on for #UConn, down 3-1.

 

[UConNick]

Incredible job by Nepiarsky. Not sure I'd bring Ruotolo in now, but desperate times call for desperate measures. One out in the 7th.

Kid earned his bones w/ Penders (and team) today...
