Top 2nd, Gallagher with a scoreless inning, he now has 5 strikeouts on the day.

I think it was Benedict who insisted on the larger video board. I recall Penders talking about it in an interview either in the fall or winter.

You are correct - I wanted just the pic of the video board but the rest came w/ it ?

Bottom 2nd, nothing happening for the UConn offense aside from a 2 out walk for Devenney.

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, Gallagher with a scoreless inning after allowing a two out double. 1-0 UConn. Gallagher is at 52 pitches, don't know how far he will be allowed to go today.

Bottom 3rd, UConn strands Bushling at 3B.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, Gallagher with a quick 1-2-3 inning. Gallagher now has 8 strikeouts on the day.

Offense has been really bad. No momentum carryover from st joes. Nice pitching by Gallagher though.

These midweek games against lesser opponents can be the perfect tonic for a struggling young pitcher trying to get some experience, and trying to get their feet on the proverbial ground in the process.

Of course, the next midweek game is against Boston College, so that one won't be all that easy.

Bottom 4th, Erik Stock with the first hit for a Husky in a game at their new ballpark, a 2 out single. Devenney walks (he gets quite a few of these freebies), but the 2 out rally doesn't come to anything. 1-0 UConn.

Top 5th, Gallagher still on the mound. Kenny Haus warming up.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, Gallagher with a quick 1-2-3 inning, he is now at 9 strikeouts.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, another scoreless inning for the UConn bats. Huskies need to start getting runners on base before there are 2 out.

 

[huskymedic]

Hey - can someone run into Rizza and grab the bats that work...

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, the day is over for Gallagher, who did quite well. Kenny Haus on the mound to start the inning.

 

[Skiblets]

Both teams in white?

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, Haus gives up a couple walks, but comes up with a scoreless inning. Devenney throws out a base stealer. 1-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, the UConn offense stays quiet.

Top 7th, Andrew Marrero in to pitch for UConn.

 

[CCSU97]

And a dick move by your AD to not allow CCSU families attend!

Not yet (from UConn Baseball schedule page):

“UConn is continuing to follow guidance from the State of Connecticut Department of Public Health, which recommends in-person attendance....

On the outfield hillside, some camping or beach chairs would appear to provide pretty good views. In days of yesteryear, I have some great memories of walking through the apple orchard and pine trees to watch soccer games played prior to the ex-Joe Morrone stadium's expansion. Not always the greatest views, but often a barrel or so lubrication.

Instead of the state public health department or others, how do you know Benedict made the call?

 

[dbmill]

Top 7th, Marrero strands a runner at 2nd. 1-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, UConn bats remain on sabbatical.

Top 8th, Randy Polonia starts the inning on the mound for the Huskies. Polonia with a quick 1-2-3 inning with 2 strikeouts.

 

[Bomber36]

Both teams in white?

Central is wearing grey.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, Stock with a one out rbi single to make it 2-0. Two runners on base. Chris Winkel pinch runs for Ferrer, he will no doubt be a defensive replacement as well.

Two runners stranded. Top 9th, Wurster in for the save opportunity.

 

[dbmill]

Wurster retires the side in order, Caleb gets the save, UConn the 2-0 win!
