Bottom 6th, Gallagher with a quick scoreless inning. 6-1 UConn. Gallagher with 0 walks and 4 strikeouts on the game.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Pat with another quick inning. FIU starting to get harder contact on him, but are not stringing anything together and we are giving them no gifts besides Padilla's errors. Still 6-1, 7th inning.

More amenities, please!

Top 7th, Huber with a one out triple. Wild pitch scores a run. 7-1 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Huber hits a 1 out triple to the wall.

I like me some amenities 7-1 UConn after yet another wild pitch by FIU, and this time their catcher (who has played really good baseball stopping most of these pitches in the dirt) finally lets one go by.

Gallagher back out for the 7th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Anyone know what Gallagher's fastball velocity is for this game? I haven't heard it on the radio; maybe I missed it.

Pat escapes the 7th with no damage.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, after a leadoff single, Gallagher gets the next three outs. 7-1 UConn.

Top 8th, scoreless inning for UConn. 7-1 UConn.

Chris Jones says Ben Maycock is playing for Hartford this season, which UConn plays on Tuesday.

Bottom 8th, Garrett Coe takes the mound to start the inning in relief of Gallagher.

Bottom 8th, Coe strands a couple runners on base. 7-1 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Scoreless inning from Coe. Do we see another arm in the 9th or do we let Coe go out and do his thing again? If Coe pitches the 9th efficiently, everyone but him will be available tomorrow out of the bullpen...then again, Coe still hasn't given up a run this year. Good problem to have.

 

[dbmill]

Top 9th, leadoff solo homer for Casey Dana, 8-1 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Dana home run! 8-1 UConn.

Sounds like there are as many UConn fans there as FIU fans. Then again FIU has had nothing to cheer for this series.

 

[huskymedic]

Guess they won’t intentionally walk Stock tomorrow to get to Dana eh?

Pick your poison.

How many homers does Dana have now?

 

[dbmill]

How many homers does Dana have now?

Now he has 2 on the season.

 

[dbmill]

Top 9th, a Simmons double, he scores on a Fedko one out single. 9-1 UConn. Korey Morton pinch runs for Fedko.

 

[uconnbaseball]

RBI murder hound Fedko making his case for more consistent playing time today, and nails an RBI single to make it 9-1. Style points are nice for making a case to be ranked.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 9th, freshman Brady Afthim takes the mound for UConn, his second appearance for the Huskies.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 9th, Afthim with a scoreless inning, stranding the bases loaded. UConn gets the 9-1 win!

Afthim with 2 strikeouts, a walk, and 2 hits that inning.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Afthim with the scoreless inning, UConn wins 9-1.

Terrific effort. The nitpicks for the night are the inability to get a sac bunt down and Padilla’s defense. FIU’s sunday starter is no joke though; Gator transfer who wasn’t bad in Gainesville and has been lights out this year.

Yahn really does a nice job w/ Chris Jones.

Chris Jones said that they were roommates at UConn, along with Jordan Tabakman.
