2-0 after 2. Guys on 1st and 2nd 0 outs and we can't get a Sac bunt down. Then 2 strikeouts and a ground out.
 
@uconnbaseball: B5 | #UConn fighting back...Sundberg walks and steals, after a Siena walk Melley singles to bring in one. An error brings in one more, 4-3.

@uconnbaseball: End 5 | Memphis 4, #UConn 3. Huskies cut the lead back to one with Melley's RBI single and a run on an error. #BleedBlue
 
Memphis down 1-2-3 Top of 7th. Top of the lineup for the Huskies. Let's go!!

1st & third 1 out. Siena moved over Sundberg. Bobby Melley popped out. Davey flys out. Running out of chances.
 
Anthony Kay gets through the 8th. Not much bullpen action in this series so far for UConn. Unless this game goes extra innings, I suspect we'll be seeing multiple innings from Ruotolo tomorrow.
 
I was expecting Aaron Hill to pinch hit for Testani. Instead, Adam Stefanski got the call. He popped out.

Rubber Game tomorrow, 4-3. John you were correct. Sundberg was not on 3rd.
 
Just a theory on why I fell we struggle at home. I noticed that in just about all the games at home, the wind is always gusting from left to right. I can think of several balls that our righties have hit that are either long outs or bang up against the wall the would go out if no wind. In the series against USF and ECU they had a lot of lefty batters and even the one homer that Memphis had in game 1 was from their one lefty in the lineup. I think it really hurts us being a team where our power hitters are righties.
Does the wind ever blow from right to left at our park?

Game Notes:
  • Vinny Siena has reached base safely in 35-straight games and extended his hitting streak to 12 games with a seventh-inning single
  • Anthony Kay has pitched into the seven inning or later in nine of his 11 starts
  • Over his last three starts Kay has walked only one batter
  • Jack Sundberg matched his 2014 total with his 27th stolen base
The Huskies and Tigers conclude their weekend series tomorrow for a 12 p.m. first pitch. Jordan Tabakman will take the ball for UConn against Memphis' Connor Alexander
 
Alexander 4-0 2.54 era. Hoping the bats finally wake up on a Sunday.
 
Noon start. Good article in Courant about AAC baseball. Very competitive league. Ranked third ahead of PAC12 & Big12. 7 teams in Top 54 RPI and UCONN #31.

Let's take this one.

Interesting change to the Sunday lineup. Troy Stefanski is the Dan Hurley today, replacing Joe Deroche-Duffin. Penders has had some high praise for Stefanski and his bat in interviews I have heard, but at the same time Stefanski has hardly played. That changes today. He's also a lefty hitter, so that might have something to do with it.
 
Tabakman playing with fire. Has escaped so far but giving up a lot of hits.
 
Surprise, Surprise, another Sunday lackluster offensive showing. No score through 5. Haven't been able to come up with the big 2 out hit and runner in scoring position.
 
Over replaces Tabakman is the 7th and has given up a double and back to back walks. Bases loaded with 1 out. Once again control is an issue with the bullpen.
 
.-.
And now Pnders brings in Darras with bases loaded. Not sure about this as it usually takes Darras a batter or two to find hos control. Hope there is no wild pitch or walk coming.
 
Darras on a 3 and 2 pitch gets the ground ball double play. Makes me nervous but get he job done.

Our offense with nothing today. Another 1,2,3 easy inning for Memphis. Meanwhile every inning they are threatening. Hope we can somehow pullthis one out.
 
Darras gets them 1,2,3 in the 8th. Come on guys lets get a run.
