Bottom 9th, Willis gets the first two outs, hits the next batter. Willis gets a strikeout to end the game, he gets the save, UConn gets the 4-2 win!!

Nice way to start the weekend.

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.

Nice to see these interviews getting posted right after the game.

Bullpen in great shape. Cook threw 18 pitches, Willis threw 11. Both could come in another game this series. The only thing that might keep Cooke out of another game this series is if he ends up getting the start on Tuesday against Hartford. We'll see what happens. Whatever the case, anyone getting the idea that Ian Cooke is the real thing?

Guessing that Matt Garbowski will get the start behind the plate tonight. He's caught one game in each weekend series so far, I would think that would continue for now. Also wondering if Bushling will get a game off this weekend due to his back spasms.

Love that lineup!

 

[dbmill]

Chris Brown out of the lineup tonight, and Bryan Padilla in. Padilla with another chance to show what he can do, we'll see if he can take advantage of the opportunity.

Nothing going for our offense in the top half. FIU has a penchant for strikeout-passed balls, hopefully they keep doing that.

Top 1st, UConn has a scoreless inning.

Funny thing, you can go a long time with not seeing a strikeout passed ball with someone reaching base because of it. But there was also one of those in the North Florida series last week, so they seem to be spreading in UConn games. Three in the last two weekends.
