Smith and Simmons are tied for the team lead in walks so far in this short season.

I know, I'm dinging him a bit for lack of clutch hitting and some missed opportunities for sac bunts. It says a lot about our team when he's been the "least good" part of our offense.

Sully gets the ball in the bottom of the 8th and gets a strikeout to start us off.

Bottom 8th, Sullivan with a 1-2-3 inning.

Korey Morton with a double, he has 4 hits today, including 2 doubles.

As for Korey Morton, he is certainly an interesting talent. His bat did not impress me for most of his summer season in Norwich last year, but he did do better on offense towards the end of the season.

Curious, how much beer do you and Mrs @dbmill consume while watching games in Norwich?

Top 9th, Huber gets a 2 out double, enabling backup catcher Ryan Hyde to get his first career at bat as a Husky. Hyde pops out.

Bottom 9th, Cal JUCO Devin Kirby taking the mound to make his UConn pitching debut.

 

[dbmill]

Kirby with his first pitch hits the first batter. He strikes out the next batter, ends up having a scoreless inning. UConn wins 15-0.

After having watched Miami play Harvard, the hurricanes would want nothing to do with us this year. Their lineup is terrible.

Beautiful. Missed the game but read everyone's updates, thank you. Warren Nolan RPI has us 24, very early and unconnected of course.

Coach Hourigan really wanted to get Korey Morton into the game today.
