Wow. Knew Morton would be in there from his post game comments but Christian fedko doesn’t even got a spot start today. I’m sure he will get at bats as injuries always happen but for a fifth year guy who has his amount of experience rare to see them relegated to hoping for pinch hitting duty.

Wonder if Ferrer is banged up since rare his bat isn’t in lineup for an entire weekend.

Big problem for Fedko is that it seems the coaching staff doesn't want to play him in the field, and there is simply a lot of competition on the team for D.H. at bats. Fedko is certainly a good hitter with a good eye and will take a walk), but he doesn't have speed (he is the most likely non catcher guy to have a pinch runner come in for him), and he is not a power guy, even though he does come up with doubles.
 
I don't think it's hard to tell that Padilla is a better defensive shortstop. He has to be consistent, but you can see he can make plays that Bush can't. It sounds like the coaches are surprised at how well he's hitting, but as long as he can carry his weight in the lineup he's probably staying in. And Brownie getting off to such a poor start in the field and with the glove has, for now, made it easy.

I've been saying it for a while now, but I have always felt that Bushling is better off defensively at a position in the infield other than shortstop. He doesn't seem to have the arm for the position, among other things. I suspect he is better off at 3B, and probably 2B as well.
 
Seton Hall just beat Florida in Gainesville to "improve" to 1-12. Helluva way to get your first win.

Northeastern won at Clemson. They're 4-2 this year against ranked ACC opponents.
 
It will be interesting to see UConn's bullpen use today, but I always think that. I have to think whoever is not used out of the bullpen will be a candidate to be one of the 2 midweek starters UConn will need this week.

Top 1st, Stock keeps his 24 game hit streak going with a 2 out single. UConn loads the bases with 2 outs, but nothing comes from this atempted 2 out rally. No score.
 
Bottom 1st, Stefanoni faces the minimum as Donlan throws out a base stealer who had reached on a lead off single. Stock with a nice catch in CF to close the inning. No score.

I will never forget watching Donlans arm in fall. It was like a holy @/$? Type moment. I don’t remember a cannon like that behind the plate in last 10 years. All I could do was laugh and say have fun stealing on that
 
Bottom 2nd, a single followed by a 1 out infield error on Bushling makes it 1-0 for Pepperdine.
 
Looks like a great day for a game out there.

Bottom 2nd, after the run scores on the 1 out error, Stefanoni gets out of the inning and leaves 2 runners on base. 1-0 Waves.
 
Good job getting out of that mess by Enzo. We'll score some runs today; just gotta keep their offense at 1 or 2 runs over the next few innings.

After the Morton solo homer, onto the bottom of the 3rd inning tied at 1. Morton's first home run as a Husky.
 
Bottom 3rd, Stefanoni with a 1-2-3 inning, solid defensive play by Brown at 3B. Stefanoni with 3 strikeouts, he is at 45 pitches. Game tied at 1.

Nice dig by Huber as well on that play. His defense has been really good so far.
