UConn @ Memphis (4/29@4p, 4/30@3p & 5/1@2p)

[uconnbaseball]

7-2 now. If only we could get this kind of run support more consistently.

 

[Baseballguy]

Joe is on FIRE!!

Another homer by DeRoche-Duffin in the 5th inning makes it 7-2 UConn. Streaky he is.

 

[dbmill]

Easy 1-2-3 inning for Tim Cate in the 5th. He's retired 7 batters in a row.

For @themuffinman44, the homer moves him into sole possession of first in @American_BSB in HRs (12) and RBIs (39). #BleedBlue

 

[uconnbaseball]

RBI Double makes the score 7-3 after an unfortunate strikeout wild pitch. Insurance runs / not dying on offense vs a bad bullpen would be nice.

This umpire crew has been horse****

The runner never tagged on the sac fly

Dandeneau relieves Cate in the 6th with 2 out. 7-4 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

why does an .083 hitter have two doubles against us...

Poor outing for Cate, but we've finally given him some run support. Have to get out of this inning.

Lead cut to 7-6. This would be a NIGHTMARE of a loss.

 

[dbmill]

A rarity, a bad showing for Dandeneau. Domnarski coming in to try to get the last out in the 6th. 7-6 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Domnarski walks a guy, now Polonia in.

 

[uconnbaseball]

How do we get off the mat...8-7 Memphis, and Memphis is a HORRIBLE team at the plate.

 

[dbmill]

Bullpen implosion, haven't had too many of those lately. Husky bats have to go to work to salvage this thing.

 

[huskymedic]

Good thing bats are working today...3 more @ bats to get 2.

Edit: Yahn leads off w/ double

 

[uconnbaseball]

Yahn lead-off double. Meat of the order coming up, keep pounding the ball please.

 

[Baseballguy]

God awful inning. Starts with wild pitch that probably should have been blocked. Then the umpires don't watch the runner leave second early. Then Penders pulls Cate who was cruising. Then the home plate ump misses obvious strike 3.

Yahn doubles, advances to third on a deep fly out, and scores on a wild pitch. Duff up with one down. #HookC

 

[uconnbaseball]

Facing a guy with an 8.22 ERA. Please smush him.

A walk. Based loaded for Buckley. Biggest at bat of the game.

LOL what did we just do...trick play gives us a 9-8 lead. Way to go Penders!

 

[huskymedic]

Whatever works...

 

[Baseballguy]

What a gift

 

[dbmill]

Penders pulls out the dead duck play, and it actually works. UConn takes the lead 9-8.

 

[Baseballguy]

Good thing Memphis can't stop throwing up all over themselves

 

[Baseballguy]

I know that strike out went in our favor but the home plate ump has been extremely inconsistent with his strike zone. Both side have been in his ear all day

 

[dbmill]

Polonia gets a 1-2-3 inning in the bottom of the 7th. Perhaps UConn bullpen normalcy has returned.

T8: #UConn 10, Memphis 8
@WillyYahn ropes a ball off the wall, scoring Sundberg. Huskies have scored 10-plus in back-to-back games. #HookC

 

[uconnbaseball]

Based loaded, 1 out, 10-8 lead. Feeling much better about this game but we really should get at LEAST 2 more this inning.

 

[dbmill]

Huskies pick up two insurance runs in the top of the 8th to make it 11-8. This game is simply nutty.

 

[uconnbaseball]

11-9, Hill failed to make a play at 2nd base and Polonia botches a throw to first base that leads to that run scoring.

 

[dbmill]

Ruotolo picks up the last out in the 8th.
