Top 5: Willy rolls an infield single up the 3B line. Bases loaded for John Toppa. Pitching change coming for the Rams #UConn 0, URI 6

Or we need freshmen like Winkel, Moriarty, Lmabrecht, and Bergmann to develop as hitters as sophomores like Susi did this season.

UConn also needs to get Prato's bat back in the lineup. He's been the one freshman in the lineup who has been producing consistently.

Pops out... WTF. This game is incredibly painful.

P.J. Poulin in to pitch for the Huskies in the 5th.

 

[dbmill]

Poulin had a 1-2-3 5th inning with little difficulty. So far that is two good relief appearances since his solid start last week, with none of the customary struggles with his control that we had come to expect from him. I may be reading two much into this, but perhaps that successful start did wonders for his confidence. Time will tell if he becomes a different pitcher.

Top 6: Ball gets away! High chopper back to the mound is thrown past the 1B. One run comes across for #UConn!

That's the extent of it...

 

[dbmill]

Making the regionals looks like a pipe dream at this point. Need a big JUCO bat next year to strengthen the middle of the order.

Actually, given the last several years of UConn bringing California JUCOS, I'm expecting that it will happen again next season as well.

Looking Good P.J.! Six up, six down out of the pen for the LHP. #UConn 1, URI 6

We were going to have two this year, but Matt Hearn ended up signing with the braves. Penders really does like his CA JUCOs.

Oh, I remember. Last summer I spent way too much time on the computer trying to find out if Hearn had signed with the Braves.

Even Hill gets a hit and we can't do anything with it? Cripes.

Poulin comes out in the 7th after back to back doubles makes it 7-1 for URI.

 

[huskymedic]

Embarassing so far. URI is not a horrible team (RPI#54) but...

Bot 7: URI record back-to-back doubles to make it 7-1. Ryan Radue now coming in for #UConn

7-2 final.

 

[uconnbaseball]

URI made plenty of mistakes today, committing 2 errors and walking people left and right. Just sad that we managed only 2 runs.
