UConn @ Holy Cross (4/24/18 @5:05p @ Hanover Insurance Park at Fitton Field)

[uconnbaseball]

We get out of the 6th, then do nothing in the top of the 7th.

Absolutely huge half inning here to try and bridge to Poulin. If we can shut them out here or hold them to 1 run, I would feel very confident in our chances of winning.

2 quick outs for Dandeneau so far in the bottom of the 7th. Keep it up.

The third out won't be so quick, the home plate umpire got hurt. Got hit in the mask.

During the break if you have LHN, flip over Houston playing Texas and leading 1-0 top of 2nd.

That long delay sure didn't help...

Bottom 8th, freshman Joe Simeone in to pitch.

Bottom 8th, Simeone gives up a 2 out solo homer to make it 9-6 UConn.

... throw stikes they say. Outfielder got whiplash on that one.

Tip your hat on that one. Still better than walking batters.

Does Holy Cross really have to change pitchers after every out...?

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 9th of the "Game that will not End" according to Chris Jones. PJ Poulin coming in.

Seems to be working as we are striking out a lot.

Was it happening all game? I just got home and was shocked to see that the game wasn't over.

Enough pitching changes on both sides. Also didn't help that the home plate umpire got hurt which delayed the game for about 10 minutes.

No, their pitchers were very wild early and lots of walks for both teams.

 

[dbmill]

Poulin gets a 1-2-3 inning, the save, and UConn a 9-6 win!!!

PJ closes the door on HC. Nice job tonight - Dunlop with a solid outing and good offensive production. I’ll take it.

 

[dbmill]

Weather does not look good for tomorrow, Chris Jones was speculating that the game against Rhode Island would not be made up if it got rained out.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Cougars now up 3-0.

Texas whipping them 9-4 now.

Texas whipping them 9-4 now.

Crazy stat lines in that game. Texas scored 9 runs on 4 hits. Their first 5 hitters in their lineup combined for 7 RBI on zero hits. Sounds like something out of little league.
