A lot of activity on the bases for Bushling that inning, with the stolen base and scoring from 2B on the infield hit.

Bottom 7th, first 3 FIU batters reach base on singles, which ties the game at 2. Bases get loaded on a bunt with no out. Peterson comes out of the game, Ian Cooke takes the mound.

Wow!! Cooke strikes out the first batter he faces, then on a fly out Casey Dana throws out a runner at the plate. Game stays tied at 2 going to the top of the 8th.

Cooke clutch (w/ a nice assist from Dana).

Having arms out there in Stock and Dana is nice. Rally time!!

Nice way to start the weekend.

[uconnbaseball]

Good win vs a decent c-usa school. We have better hitting and at least comparable pitching so we should be able to take at least 2 from FIU this weekend, but we aren’t facing the batting practice pitching of UNF. That starter was legit.
