UConn Baseball - Regular Season Conference Series Finale @ Houston

Cross gets through the 7th nicely, and has really settled down. He has 94 pitches thrown, so I figure he'll start the 8th.

Keep the 8th under 15ish pitches and he'll be out there for the 9th

 

[UConn4ever]

HUGE 2 innings coming up

 

[UConn4ever]

Wow Penders took cross out

 

[dbmill]

So much for my predictions. Pat Ruotolo coming in to pitch the 8th.

 

[UConn4ever]

Ruotolo gets them 1-2-3 need some insurance runs in the 9th

 

[ATLDYKA]

Ruotolo sets them down 1,2,3. Lets get an insurance run here.

Great minds think alike??

 

[ATLDYKA]

Come on Daniello.

 

[huskymedic]

Muther...

 

[UConn4ever]

Of course

 

[Stainmaster]

Well sheet...

 

[ATLDYKA]

Straight heat pitch after pitch. Need to mix in the off speed every now and then.

 

[UConn4ever]

At least we have the top of the order coming up

 

[UConn4ever]

Sundberg leads of with a walk Hopefully Siena can get his first hit of the game.

 

[huskymedic]

Ask and you shall receive...

 

[UConn4ever]

Siena with a double 2 and 3rd nobody out!!

 

[ATLDYKA]

Siena comes up big. Got to say I would have been more of a fan of a hit and run versus sac bunt with Siena being up. It all worked out.

 

[UConn4ever]

McDowell hits a sac fly 4-3!

 

[huskymedic]

Whoot, whoot

 

[johnhuskies95]

4-3 UConn now. Would be nice to get another here.

Too risky to try it now, but am I the only one who thinks stealing home on one of these intentional walks may be worth a shot?

I'd have to send a stand-by ambulance to Atldyka's abode for the night if they did that and failed.

Got to say it actually popped into my head when Sundberg was on third.

Never thought about it but with a rlefty on the mound and a righty in the box it very well could have worked
