Top 9th, Biller gets a 1 out single, he moves to 2B on a wild pitch. A scoreless inning for UConn. Missouri wins 11-7.

With the returning pitchers we have and some of the new ones appearing, command of the fastball remains a problem. It makes for a tough watch.

Chris Jones says that next season UConn baseball will start the season in a tournament in Arizona, I believe he said Scottsdale.

I think it’s the Desert Invitational which uconn played in pre-covid. My husband and I went to the tournament then. It was fun! This years tournament is now on MLB channel.

Sorry for falling off the game here… ugly ride back from BDL that required two hand attention. First chance this year to hear Jonesy on MIXLR tho’

Like the team the post game interviews need some work. Bad audio yesterday with all sorts of background noise and this one gets cut off.

Top 1st, Penn State hits a solo homer with 1 out. 1-0 Penn State.

After getting the 2nd out, Ellisen gives up 2 walks, and then gets the final out.

Ellisen threw 30 pitches this inning.

Bottom 1st, UConn offense goes down in order. 1-0 Penn State.

Top 2nd, Penn State leadoff hitter gets on 2B due to an error by LF Groen. After a sac bunt moves the runner to 3B, the runner scores on a ground out. 2-0 Penn State.

With 2 outs, Ellisen gives up a 3 run homer. 5-0 Penn State.

A strikeout finally ends the inning.

 

[huskymedic]

Oooof…

 

[Jax Husky]

Absolutely atrocious pitching thus far.

 

[huskymedic]

My Roku/ESPN+ is about two full pitches behind the game stats - watching batter @ 2-1 count and game stat tab changes to a “5”…

Suchy comes in to pitch for UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, Suchy has a 1-2-3 inning. 5-0 Penn State.

 

[huskymedic]

Go Suchy!

 

[scotty0330]

After a nightmare first game kid comes back and goes 1-2-3. The fact that he is out there again says coaching staff has faith in him. Needed that, let’s get some runs

None of our 3 starters showed much this weekend. Suchy had impressed the staff and was on the cusp but needed some time to settle in. Here's his chance to do that

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, UConn offense with 2 more strikeouts as they go down in order. 5-0 Penn State.

Was heading into the 3rd:
