Men UConn in the 2024 NCAA Baseball Tournament > Norman Oklahoma Regional > HookC Advances to Super Regionals

[uconnbaseball]

Offense is striking out way too much against some really unimpressive pitching.

With that said, clutch hitting by Morton! 3-1

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, the UConn offense gets 2 runners on base with walks, Morton follows with a 2 out RBI single, 3-1 UConn.

A 2 out Padilla walk loads the bases, but that is it for the UConn offense that inning. 3-1 UConn.

 

[HCCForever]

Dalena’s run was an adventure

 

[businesslawyer]

Can’t leave the bases full every inning. We could have a big lead already. Instead we’re up 2. Let’s see if Coe can settle in this inning.

Got a feeling we are going to regret leaving the bases loaded in the first two innings like that. The Sooners have got to feel very lucky to only be down 3-1 after those first two innings. We needed to extend the lead there. Huge 3rd inning here for Coe. Need a scoreless frame here .

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

Come on Coe! Put it over the plate!

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Coe causing a ton of agita. A lefty pitcher 0-2 to a lefty hitter should never end up with a walk. It happed twice in three innings.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Is it me or are we pitching to a smaller strike zone than they're pitching to?

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, Coe issues a leadoff walk, his 3rd walk of the game so far. A 1 out 2 run homer ties the game at 3.

After the homer, Coe issues a 1 out walk. Coe comes out of the game. Ellisen takes the mound.

 

[Hamms30]

gotta get the ball down in the zone lad

 

[jrazz12]

Bullpen game

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Sadly that wasn't unexpected

 

[HCCForever]

Totally agree. They get the high strikes and Coe doesn’t

Welcome to the NCAA baseball tournament. It is like this every year when you play in an ACC/SEC/B12 regional. Just part of the challenges we face each year.

 

[HCCForever]

Needed Coe to be on and unfortunately he wasn’t.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Which is why we wanted Duke to win

 

[MarkyMark]

Coe has gotten squeezed once or twice but that was not one his better efforts. wasn’t aggressive at all. Fastball/change up chest high it’s a matter of time before they get to him. Not going to blame the umpire.

very disappointing to see that performance tonight. Could tell from the start where that was headed.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Can we get through this game without depleting our arms if we need to play tomorrow?

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

They’re getting called strikes at the ankles Coe had to put it right down the middle at the belt to maybe get a call

 

[The Viking]

Great pitch to strikeout glasses. Instead the ump doesn't have the sack to call him out and glasses goes yard

 

[rich1122]

Didn’t have it tonight. New game. I still like our chances

 

[Rdkid]

That needed to happen. This is going to be a battle.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Ump has been fine both ways.

Coe doesn’t have the stuff to survive on the road against this team without location, and he was erratic tonight.

 

[maple]

Ugh. Still a long game to go but need our pitching to get it together.

 

[Rdkid]

Talk about agita - Ellisen

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, Coe issues a leadoff walk, his 3rd walk of the game so far. A 1 out 2 run homer ties the game at 3.

After the homer, Coe issues a 1 out walk. Coe comes out of the game. Ellisen takes the mound.

Top 3rd, Ellisen hits the 1st batter he faces. A double play ends the inning, game tied at 3.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Whew. Double play!

Yes. Most of his misses (especially ahead in the count) weren't close. The call that led to my post was the two strike take, a couple pitches before the home run, was better than two similar pitches that were called strikes on our batter, on the outside black, waist high to RH hitters.
