UConn @ Coastal Carolina Tourney (Fri. 3/1 Northeastern, Sat. 3/2 Dbl Header>Indiana @1:05 & #19 Coastal Carolina @5:30 & Sun. 3/3 #25 Illinois @Noon)

[dbmill]

Top 5th, back to back doubles by Prato (third hit of the game) and Toppa with no out make it 5-3 UConn. Pitching change for Northeastern.

 

[dbmill]

Christian Fedko single scores Toppa to make it 6-3 with 1 out in the 5th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Sounds like the offense has shown up. NE can hit so we need these runs.

 

[dbmill]

Kersten starts the bottom of the 5th with 65 pitches.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Can't listen until lunch break - is the score still 6-3? Sorry!

Yes.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, scoreless inning for Kersten after allowing the leadoff hitter to reach. He's now at 76 pitches. If he is efficient, maybe he can get through 7 innings. 6-3 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

If we win, we'll be 2-2 against the top teams in the Colonial without Feole's services. 3-1 wluld be more desirable but the RPI will like those wins more than some would think. Gotta win here though.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, Kersten strands a lead off double on base. 6-3 UConn, Kersten at 86 pitches.

 

[uconnbaseball]

2 on, 1 out for UConn in the top of the 7th. Still 6-3.

2 on, 1 out for UConn in the top of the 7th. Still 6-3.

Christian Fedko now has 7 walks on the young season. He had 11 all of last season.

Someone went to the eye doctor this off season, I see.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Tough luck line out for C-Mo to strand the bases loaded.

Build The Bridge!

Or maturing from a freshman to a sophomore.

Kersten starts the 7th.

 

[dbmill]

Kersten allows a 2 out single, Dandeneau coming in. Another nice game for Kersten.

 

[dbmill]

Dandeneau strikeout ends the 7th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Nice job CJ! 6-3 going to the 8th.

 

[dbmill]

Top 8th, UConn goes down in order.

 

[dbmill]

1-2-3 inning for Dandeneau in the 8th. 6-3 UConn.

 

[huskymedic]

Some amenities here would make me feel better...

 

[dbmill]

Amenities may be coming. Toppa on 3rd, Pat Winkel on 1st, no out.

 

[dbmill]

Christian Fedko single drives in Toppa to make it 7-3 UConn. No out.

 

[dbmill]

Avery Santos warming in the pen. Wallace sits down.

Amenities mean saved arms... yea!

 

[dbmill]

Brodnansky hit by pitch loads up the bases with one out. Brodnansky also has two walks today.

 

[uconnbaseball]

I would go Wallace at the first sign of trouble.

 

[dbmill]

7-3 going to the bottom of the 9th. Dandeneau stays in.

 

[dbmill]

Wallace back up in the pen after a bunt single and Moriarty throwing error puts a runner at 3rd. Sac fly scores the run to make it 7-4 with 1 out.

Will take the out for a run at this point. Santos-...oops meant CJ! - seems like he is doing fine.

Concerned about Moriarity. It's just week 3 but he still isn't hitting and his defense has been uncharacteristically poor.

 

[dbmill]

Dandeneau gets the final 2 outs, the save, and UConn gets the 7-4 win!
