Bottom 5th, Van Emon retires the side in order with the help of a nice catch by Shpur. 6-0 UConn.

So that’s two trips through the Sooner order. You’re not changing pitchers, because Gabe’s going strong, but whomever is getting you to Afthim now has to be ready. Is that Quinn and/or Cooke? Do we have to get there (and with the lead can we) get there with Sullivan, Finnegan and Cinnela?

Or am I being silly and Van Emon has more in the tank.

Loving this……….but it ain’t over ‘til it’s over.

He looks solid. One more at least.

He looks solid. One more at least.

Suspect that Van Emon will stay in as long as he is effective. If he starts giving up walks, that is a sign for him to come out of the game.

 

[uconnbaseball]

…can I complain about the offense again?

Top 6th, UConn offense with 2 strikeouts while going down in order. 6-0 UConn.

Yep, one more scoreless or even 1 run inning of ball would do wonders.

 

[AzHusky]

No you can't complain about anything in this game yet!

 

[dbmill]

I find it difficult to complain about the offense when it has scored the same number of runs as innings played.

Chris Jones says S. Quigley is warming up in the bullpen.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Massive situation here. Another OU goose egg and we're in fantastic shape.

If we're planning on using Cooke or Quigs (even for only a batter or two) I hope they are at least soft tossing already. It will take them a bit longer to loosen up.

 

[Bomber36]

Sometimes they gotta hit em at ya.

 

[uconnbaseball]

OU is starting to make harder contact. I would let Emon finish this inning, then roll with the pen.

 

[Bomber36]

The announcers said Van Emmon has answered the call.

 

[Bomber36]

Snyder is an MLB hitter. No matter what. Dude has strength and speed and he can play D. .he might not get there right away. But he will.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Critical juncture. We need an out.

OU is a 3 seed at best without him and that Saturday pitcher. Both amazing players.

 

[Bomber36]

We got that call.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Ok we finally got a break on a strike call

 

[uconnbaseball]

Emon finally gets a gift with that call.

(The home plate ump has been fine tonight)

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Snyder is a menace. Will happy to not have to see him again

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Yes!

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, with 2 outs Van Emon gives up a 2 singles to put runners at the corners. A nice defensive play by Padilla ends the inning. 6-0 UConn.

Van Emon is at 92 pitches, it would not surprise me if he comes out of the game after this inning.

What a play, what an outing by Van Emon
