Bottom 6th, Pudvar hits the leadoff batter. With 1 out the runner steals 2B and advances to 3B on a throwing error by Lane. Pudvar strikes out the next 2 batters. 6-1 UConn. Pudvar now has 8 strikeouts for the game, and has thrown 100 pitches. I'm thinking this might be it for him in this game, Chris Jones thought this as well.

Chris Jones talking about a possible double header tomorrow due to upcoming bad weather.

 

[hardcorehusky]

I bet Penders did not want a 2 inning Friday night save from Afthim. The bats were quiet for most of the night and the momentum changed in the bottom of the 7th. Got get the W and worry about the next game as it happens. Just like a regional!

[Fairfield_1st]

A good, somewhat stressful win.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Good road win. We went through Campbell’s good pitching tonight so we should score a lot tomorrow.

 

[BlueWolf25]

Pudvar has been amazing! Looks like we’ve got our Friday starter for the year

Chris Jones talking about a possible double header tomorrow due to upcoming bad weather.

Jonsey is like Quasimodo…

 

[businesslawyer]

Ugh. So Afthim probably would have been available Sunday, but probably won’t be tomorrow. Hopefully our bats can overcome any issues with our arms.
