Top 2nd, Brown draws his first walk of the season with no outs, putting runners at 1st and 2nd. With 2 out, Bushling with an rbi single, 2-0 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

2-0 after an RBI single by Bushling. Good at bats by everyone this inning, if Pepperdine were playing FIU style matador defense we'd have 4 or 5 runs already.

Can definitely hear the Bushling family on the broadcast!!!

Chris Jones said there was a big Bushling following at the game today.

Chris Jones is the best in the business but I am very impressed by this guy on the free WCC broadcast, guy definitely knows his stuff

Bottom 2nd, Pepperdine lead off man singles, advances to 2B on a wild pitch. Gallagher strands him picking up 2 strikeouts along the way, three on the game so far. 2-0 UConn.

That may be so, but Chris Jones always has some interesting UConn nuggets of info that other broadcasters probably won't have. That's why I stick to listening to Jonesy. You are likely not to get that info anywhere else.

Read that Epstein has been broadcasting Pepperdine sports for 29 years.

Top 3rd, UConn offense with a scoreless inning. 2-0 UConn.

Alma mater vs. alma mater

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Gallagher with a scoreless inning. Gallagher at 41 pitches (pretty efficient), 4 strikeouts on the game.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Padilla is having good at bats today, but is getting bad BABIP luck.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, UConn goes down in order. 2-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, leadoff homer off of Gallagher. 2-1 UConn.

After the homer, some additional Pepperdine traffic on the bases (2 singles), but Gallagher strands runners at the corners. Gallagher at 70 pitches.

 

[uconnbaseball]

The bullpen is rested. I'd like to see Pat for one more inning, then turn to our top arms. I get the need to keep the pen rested for USC and LBSU but winning this series today would be huge.

I threw on the Chris Jones broadcast, he’s undoubtedly one of the best in the nation

You play to win each game. The games at SC and LBS could be rained out, or could be blowouts.

Top 5th, scoreless inning for UConn.

Chudoba warming in the bullpen for UConn.

We'll have to see how things progress, but it is certainly looking like UConn has a pitching staff with a lot of depth this season, at least so far.

It's funny listening to him in person

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, Gallagher with a 1-2-3 inning, he is at 7 strikeouts (2 this inning) and 0 walks on the game. 2-1 UConn. 81 pitches for Gallagher, I would expect him to still be on the mound at the start of the 6th inning.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Pat dominates the 5th inning. Guess he'll be coming out in the 6th!

 

[Tmill15]

Great bounce back inning by Gallagher, up to 7 strikeouts!!!

 

[uconnbaseball]

Bottom 5th, Gallagher with a 1-2-3 inning, he is at 7 strikeouts (2 this inning) and 0 walks on the game. 2-1 UConn.

That Charlotte game is looking more and more like an outlier. Pat showed good control at the Cape, after all.

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, Huber with a leadoff walk, but nothing going for the UConn bats after that. 2-1 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Nothing much in the top of the 6th. We're hitting a lot of lazy fly balls today.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Yes, too many fly balls today.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, Gallagher with a quick 1-2-3 inning. 2-1 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Pat cruising right now.

With the bottom of their order coming up, I'd let Pat start the bottom of the 7th, then turn to the pen at either the first sign of trouble or when their top of the order comes up again (whichever comes first).
