UConn @ BYU -- 3/16 @ 8p ET, 3/17 @ 8p ET & 3/18 @ 3p ET

Day game after a night game, so I expect Susi will be the Dan Hurley with LeFevre behind the plate. Considering Susi's problems behind the plate lately, Penders might have made this move for the day even if it was another night game. That will send Toppa back to the bench, who's bat made some noise last night.
 
If you haven't seen game last night Willy yahn is rocking a 70's Stache that can only be good for mojo.

Agree no way susi is behind plate. Hoping toppa can get out on field sooner rather than later.
 


Notes
  • Zac Susi drove in a career-high five RBIs on Friday night. Susi now has 18 RBIs on the season in 16 games. Last year Susi had 21 RBIs in his freshman season.
  • Susi recorded three hits on Friday. He now has seven multi-hit games on the year. Last season Susi notched six total multi-hit performances.
  • The Huskies won their first game this season when trailing after eight. UConn won three games last season when trailing after eight innings.
  • Willy Yahn collected his first three-hit game of the season. Last year, Yahn led the team with 25 multi-hit games including nine games with at least three hits.
  • Montgomerie finished the 2016 season with 87 strikeouts. Through five starts this season, he has compiled 52 strikeouts already.

Gnesda saves at least one run from scoring with a nice play at first. 4-0 BYU. Yahn, Susi, Feldstein coming up.
 
I don't know who is in charge of the outfield alignment on the UCONN coaching staff but they are awful. The staff has the push side of field playing on the warning track so routine fly balls drop in all the time.

Just got home from Gampel and the basketball tournament. Husky bats have been pretty quiet. Wish I could say the same about the BYU offense. Anyway, Nepiarsky is doing ok with his mound stint.
 
UConn offense is stirring in the 6th. 1 run in for UConn with one out.
 
Susi missed a homer by a foot or two. Susi knocks in Prato with a one out triple. 6-2 BYU

It also knocks the BYU starter from the game
 
.-.
Triple for Susi drives in another run to make it 6-2. BYU is making a pitching change. You're never really out of a game played at a high elevation, so we'll see what happens.
 
A Feldstein ground out scores Susi. Score is now 6-3 BYU, with the Cougars coming to bat in the bottom of the 6th.
 
Jacob Wallace is coming in to pitch the bottom of the 6th. I figure Nepiarsky will make a midweek start this week.
 
Wallace puts runners on base, then gets out of it on his own, picking up two strikeouts in the process.
 
.-.
Bottom of 7th, Rossomando comes in and pitches well, has his control today. One runner gets on base due to a Moriarty error, but is thrown out stealing.
 
Penders with an awful base running error sending Hill to get thrown out at the plate. 6-5 BYU
 
Huskies load the bases, pick up two runs to make it 6-5 going to the bottom of the 8th. Aaron Hill pinch ran for Susi, so one of the best hitters for UConn is now out of the game. Do not like that pinch running decision. Ryan Radue in to pitch the bottom of the 8th.
 
Ryan Radue loads up the bases with the help of a Yahn error, then three runs score. BYU still up.
