Chris Jones was saying that due to his ejection, that he doesn't think Malcom will be able to play in the game tomorrow.

 

[huskymedic]

Okay… bad timing w/ baseball, basketball, hockey and dinner @ my mother-in-law — why did Malcom get tossed? Taunting?

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, Morton with a 1 out 2 run homer, 5-0 UConn, going to the bottom of the inning.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Another Morton bomb! Offense looking dangerous if we can fix the risp issue.

Not sure, Chris Jones was speculating that it was either because Malcom tossed his bat, or that he said something.

 

[huskymedic]

Bottom 3rd, after a leadoff walk, a double play eliminates the baserunner.

UConn hitters only struck out 4 times tonight, not bad.

• Coe pitched a nice game. Control wobbled in the 3rd but he got out of it and settled down. Was surprised they let him go to 123 but it was a low-stress 123. Happy for Coe on the complete game shutout. Preserves bullpen for big game tomorrow.
• Malcom hits the HR and gets thrown out of the game. They won the game so can have a laugh on that one. Not sure I've seen that before. He must have said the magic word. Lesson learned.
• Pretty clean game, solid defense.
• Getting thrown out stealing bases more this year, didn't happen in 2023.
• Offense playing long ball, rallies still at a premium
• Luke is struggling at the plate.
• Kron made a nice catch in the 9th. He should just be living in the batting cage. Defense is top shelf.
• They can get to 4-4 on this trip with a win Sunday AND win a series. After starting trip 0-3 at UCSB that seemed improbable. Would be huge. Bullpen should be fully rested and ready to go. Also would make it 4 out of 5.
