Studley remains well named.

Nice 2 out tally to put UConn up 1-0

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones says that with the time change in Connecticut, there is now a 6 hour time difference between Hawaii and Connecticut.

Top 1st, a Padilla walk loads the bases with 2 outs. Broadhurst drives in 2 runs with a single to make it 3-0 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

3-0 now! Exactly the start we wanted given how overused UH’s pen is. What a rally!

Hawaii starter is at 31 pitches.

 

[dbmill]

Top 1st, Hyde walks to reload the bases, but that is it for the 2 out UConn rally this inning. 3-0 UConn. Nice start.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 1st, Hawaii gets 2 runners on base with 1 out. A run scores on a wild pitch, Hyde thought it hit the batter but it apparently did not. Hyde did not immediately go after the ball, so runners both advanced 2 bases. A walk and a single makes the score 3-2 with 1 out. A 1 out rbi double ties the game at 3 going to the top of the 2nd.

Sears walked 2 batters and hit one as well that inning.

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, Smith walks to lead off the inning, and goes to 2B on a no out balk. Pitching change, so the UConn offense is already into the Hawaii bullpen again. UConn loads the bases with no out.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Based loaded, no outs for us. Top 2nd.

Maybe some of us will be asleep by the end of this game as well.

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, a 1 out sac fly for Studley, runners now at the corners. 4-3 UConn. Padilla hits a 2 out 3 run homer to make it 7-3 UConn.

Chris Jones does not have any positive things to say about the umpires for this game or series.

 

[Hookknows]

Good job Padilla!

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, Sears with a shutdown 1-2-3 inning. 7-3 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, Hyde with a leadoff double for his first UConn hit of his career, he moves to 3B with a no out passed ball, he scores on a Tammaro ground out. 8-3 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Nice job hyde!

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Sears gives up a leadoff solo homer, 8-4 UConn. Sears retires the next 3 batters in order all on fly outs to the outfield. Sears is at 47 pitches for the game.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Huber with a baserunning blunder that could bail Hawaii out here.

Hawaii with the FAU style fielding this series.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Broadhurst has earned a permanent spot in the lineup IMO. He has been money since the Ohio State series.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, UConn gets the first 2 hitters on base on a walk and an infield error. Huber is picked off 2B for the first out. UConn loads the bases with 1 out. Hyde with a 1 out single to drive in 2 runs. 10-4 UConn going to the bottom of the inning.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, Sears faces the minimum after a leadoff infield single, and coming up with an inning ending double play. 10-4 UConn. Sears at 53 pitches.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, a scoreless inning for the UConn offense after Huber is thrown out at the plate on a Studley infield single for the final out of the inning. 10-4 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones says Jack Sullivan likely will get the start in the game tomorrow.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, after a 1 out Freeberger error, a Hawaii double puts 2 runners in scoring position, followed by a 3 run Hawaii homer, 10-7 UConn.

Sears is coming out, Coe is coming in to pitch for UConn.

Coe comes up with 2 quick outs to end the inning. I believe Chris Jones said that Coe threw 51 pitches in the game on Friday night, so I would not expect a long pitching stint for him tonight.

 

[scotty0330]

Willis and or Afthim might have to go multiple innings

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, with 2 out, Hyde gets a walk, and Tammaro and Smith are both hit by pitches to load the bases. Pitching change. Nothing comes of it for the UConn offense. 10-7 UConn.

Brady Afthim warming in the UConn bullpen.

 

[businesslawyer]

Even with 10 runs through 6, 10 men LOB also. Have had more than enough opportunities to put this game away despite the pitching.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, Coe faces the minimum with the help of a double play to end the inning. 10-7 UConn. 19 pitches for Coe.

I’m sure Penders will have the same observation post game…
