Well . Chudoba having issues. Pepperdine now up 3-2.

After not having walk all day Chudoba comes in and walks Someone immediately. Rally time

 

[ATLDYKA]

Enzo coming out after giving up two singles. 2 outs though; we just need 1 more to get out of this inning.

Gotta say I was a little surprised he pulled him with 2 outs.

Top 7th, UConn goes down in order. 3-2 Pepperdine.

Chris Brown really shouldn’t see the light of day the way he has been playing that wasn’t even a remotely difficult play and he still couldn’t make it

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, a no out double brings in 2 runs off of Chudoba, one of them unearned on a Brown throwing error (although the stat tracker gives the error to Huber, not sure if that is right). UConn pitching change, Brendan O'Donnell coming in. A sac fly after a wild pitch makes it 6-2 for the Waves. Following a 1 out single, Hector Alejandro coming in to pitch. After an infield single, Alejandro gets out of the inning with no more runs coming in.

Anyone else lose the broadcast?

Huber!!! Gotta like the fight.

Top 8th, Huber with a 2 out 3 run homer!! 6-5 Waves.

Bottom 8th, Brady Afthim takes the mound for UConn.

Huber!!! Gotta like the fight.

Always seems in the past in games UConn trails, there is often a decent comeback attempt. It happens again, whether or not it totally pays off in the end.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, Afthim with a 1-2-3 inning striking out the side.

 

[dbmill]

Top 9th, Christian Fedko pinch hits for Chris Brown. Comes up with a leadoff double!! David Smith pinch runs.

 

[huskymedic]

Bottom 8th, Afthim with a 1-2-3 inning striking out the side.

 

[dbmill]

Wild pitch puts Smith at 3B with no outs, but he is stranded. UConn goes down 6-5. It was a nice winning streak while it lasted.

Knocked down a rung. Need to recalibrate heading into two tough mid-week games against quality opponents in USC and Long Beach State.

Knocked down a ring. Need to recalibrate heading into two tough mid-week games against quality opponents in USC and Long Beach State.

My guess out of the blue is that Garrett Coe will get one of the starts.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Would like to see more of Fedko and less of Brown going forward. Quality series win and a 1 run loss should not stop us from being ranked in a couple polls tomorrow (I don't think).

 

[scotty0330]

I know freshman haven’t all seen high pressure situations but have a feeling we are gonna see many not named Cooke and Sullivan as this season unfolds. Need to set on which relievers can be our guys who can come in with runners on base and which ones are much better off starting a clean inning.

first time through in bigtime College games was a guess and gut choice between Coach Mac and Penders. A few games in and we can see some definitive path. Today was some of that and some of holding guys out for Tues Weds.

My guess out of the blue is that Garrett Coe will get one of the starts.

As I have said before, I would like to think that Ian Cooke is in the running to get the Wednesday start, but it might just be that Cooke is currently deemed too important to the bullpen to pull double duty. Whatever the case, whether Cooke gets some starts, or continues to come exclusively out of the bullpen, it certainly looks at this point he will get plenty of chances in tight spots to show what he can do.

Certainly a nice short showing for Christian Fedko today. Possible that hit could buy him some time at the D.H. spot, or more possible shots at pinch hitting appearances.
