All better...

 

[huskymedic]

LHP Matt Dillard (4.30 ERA) gets the start today for the Kats in the series finale vs UConn.

I would think Pat Winkel is back to being on concussion protocol.

Chris Jones confirmed that Pat Winkel is in concussion protocol at this point.

Top 1st, Prato reaches on a one out walk, but the inning ends on a pick off/caught stealing. At least he continued to 2B, rather than try to get back to 1B. No serious threat, and no score.

Baserunning (insert smiley face here)

Bottom 1st, Sam Houston lead off hitter singles, but is caught stealing by Phillips for the first out of the inning.

 

[dbmill]

Jimmy Wang strands runners on the corners in the bottom of the 1st. No score.

Baserunning (insert smiley face here)

At least Prato actually went to 2B on the stolen base attempt. I'm a little more lenient on any 2 out base stealing attempt of 2B, as you are usually going to need two actions, (two singles, or a stolen base and a hit) to score a run.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Jimmy Wang strands runners on the corners in the bottom of the 1st. No score.

I would take 5 innings of 3 run ball from him today.

Our offense has to get going.

 

[huskymedic]

KFed is on fire lately...

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, Kyler Fedko with a 1 out triple off the wall. His bat is officially hot.

 

[uconnbaseball]

One out triple by baby Fedders.

 

[dbmill]

Kyler Fedko scores on a fielders choice, Phillips gets the RBI. 1-0 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Their pitcher slips on the mound trying to field the ball, allowing Fedko to score. 1-0 neutral guys.

Bottom 2nd, leadoff single off of Jimmy Wang. Fourth hit of the game off of Wang so far.

 

[dbmill]

Phillips throws out another base stealer for the second out of the 2nd inning. Fly out to Toppa for the 3rd out, so Wang is having some good luck so far in this game.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Phillips team MVP so far today.

 

[dbmill]

Now Chris Jones is saying that Nucerino was out of the lineup with a leg injury.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Jimmy Wang strands two more runners on base. 1-0 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Phillips was apparently robbed of another baserunning victim.

Leadoff walk!

 

[dbmill]

Phillips was apparently robbed of another baserunning victim.

Leadoff walk!

39 walks on the year now for Christian Fedko. Double play removes him from the bases.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, two out rally time. Singles by Phillips and Winkel, and a walk to Langer loads the bases. Pitching change

 

[HawkHusky]

Come on 2 out rally!

 

[dbmill]

Nucerino infield single brings in a run to make it 2-0 UConn. Chris Winkel thrown out later in the play to end the inning, Chris Jones thought it was a good gamble, it took a good play and throw to get him at the plate.
