What do you expect Peterson to do? Give up less than zero runs?

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, Peterson on the mound to start the inning. a leadoff single is followed by an rbi triple to make it 6-1 with no outs. Pitching change, lefty Brendan O'Donnell coming in to make his season debut for UConn. Pepperdine has a number of lefty hitters in their batting order.

Challenge for a no hitter.

Our starting pitching is fire. Imagine what they will do to BE teams.

Xavier who started the season 0-9 albeit against tough teams (Alabama,Louisville,Oregon State), have now won 5 straight in the state of SC including beating up South Carolina and Coastal. So at least they are starting to help the Big East's RPI a little.

Top 8th, Ferrer with a 2 out rbi single driving in Simmons who had walked (his second walk of the game). 5-0 UConn. Korey Morton pinch runs for Ferrer. Donlan with an rbi double, 6-0 UConn.

[dbmill]

O'Donnell gives up an rbi single to the first batter he sees, 6-2 now the score with no outs. He didn't get the lefty out, Ian Cooke coming in to pitch.

 

[businesslawyer]

Somebody get someone out please.

 

[dbmill]

Ian Cooke gives up a single to the first batter he faces, then strikes out the next 2 batters and gets a ground out to end the inning, stranding 2 runners. 6-2 UConn.

Bottom 9th, Cooke with a scoreless inning after giving up a 1 out walk, UConn gets the 6-2 win!!

Cooke with 3 strikeouts in his 2 inning stint.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Quality win vs a solid program. We appear to have the pitching advantage Sunday so we can put our foot to their throat with a win tomorrow.
