Top 8th, with 2 outs, the UConn offense gets 2 walks. Studley drives in 2 runs with a single (advanced to 2B on the throw), 10-2 UConn.

There have been a bunch of 2022 esque 2 out rallies the past few weekends. Love to see it.
 
2 outs, 1 on for SDSU in the bottom of the 8th.

Kirby gets a strikeout to end the inning. I like the pitch to contact strategy we have used against a mostly toothless SDSU lineup. We're going to win some games this weekend if we cut down on the walks.
 
UConn defensive moves. Niko Brini comes into the game to play the outfield, moving Smith to 2B, Daniels comes out of the game.

Bottom 8th, after a 1 out double, Kirby strands the runner. 10-2 UConn.

With the big lead, hoping Kirby comes out of the game, and someone else pitches the 9th. Like to be able to use Kirby later in the series in another game or 2. I'd like to see someone like Abbadessa come in and pitch the 9th.

Top 9th, UConn offense goes down in order. 10-2 UConn.

Bottom 9th, Jude Abbadessa coming in to pitch.

Offense goes 1-2-3 in the 9th. Offense was great for 7 innings tonight but started and ended poorly. Something for Penders to nitpick I guess. :)

Throw strikes and get out of here with a series opening win. 10-2 UConn.
 
Jude in, and his fastball is sitting 91-93 as he gets a strikeout after giving up a tough luck single to start. Keep the strikes coming.
 
Things are shaping up nicely. Gone are the days of working their way into form on these trips. Depth is solid, competition for IPs and ABs will keep them hungry. D is solid with a possible exception of stopping the running game.

Nice to see Cooke look like the guy there was every reason to expect this year == if not an AP level no.1, at least a real, competent no.1. There was no way the starting pitching this year was going to match last year’s, but it needs to be competent, at least through 2 spots. But Cooke and Sully are now both coming off quality starts, so hope springs eternal. The good news, as I keep saying, is that all our problems today (giving up too many walks, too many LOB, too many hitters not hitting to what they did last year) haven’t stopped us from winning, so if we get some of them fixed ….

Coach Penders says that solo homers generally don't win games, it's when you put runners on base ahead of those homers when it really turns into trouble. Says that Ian Cooke looked more like himself tonight, especially after the 3rd inning. UConn played its most complete game tonight in all facets of the game. Coach Penders says your living on the razor's edge when you depend on scoring with 2 outs. Still, they scored a goodly amount of runs tonight.

Offense attempting another 2 out, no one on rally. Someone might wanna tell the guys that this scoring thing is easier when you get leadoff guys on :)

Luke strikes out to end the inning though.

Top 1st, UConn offense with another 2 out rally threat, putting 2 runners on base with a Huber walk and a Studley single. Nothing comes of it, no score.
 
Top 2nd, Padilla with a leadoff double, but he is stranded on base. No score.
 
4 strikeouts vs a high era guy. Really rough start for the offense. It is college baseball, bad games at the plate will happen, but these slow starts are just odd. UConn does heat up as the game goes along so hopefully we will see some runs the 2nd time through the lineup.
