30 pitches in the 1st... Yikes!

Which definitely makes it a Montgomerie 1st inning from last season.

 

[dbmill]

1-2-3 inning for UConn in the top of the 2nd. Chris Jones not happy with the strike zone either.

 

[Baseballguy]

I’ve heard Chris say “just missed” more in these first 2 innings than I heard him say all of last year.

 

[HawkHusky]

Gonna be a struggle with the home plate ump. Nice 2nd inning for Cate though.

 

[dbmill]

Cate gets out of the bottom of the 2nd with no runs off him. So far 3 walks, 2 strikeouts, 49 pitches for him.

 

[uconnbaseball]

2 on, 1 out for Prato. We are certainly getting singles.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Ayy some mistakes by SELA here! 1-1 and we are still threatening.

 

[UConNick]

Baserunning hasn't been a strong suit recently... sounds like that could be a good improvement this season. Exemplary running on the parts of Toppa and Woodworth produced that run. Now Susi up with guys on the corners.

[Baseballguy]

It doesn’t sound like this pitcher is very comfortable with runners on

 

[uconnbaseball]

Damn, Susi cannot come through. Come on Feldstein.

 

[dbmill]

1-1 after the top of the 3rd. Guess we should thank SLU for the gift run to the Huskies.

 

[Stainmaster]

Hate to see us strand runners like that, especially Woodworth 90 feet away.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones has been apologizing for music in the background of the broadcast. I'm not hearing it on the radio broadcast, maybe it is showing up on the internet stream.

 

[Baseballguy]

That’s a big throw by Susi

 

[uconnbaseball]

Susi throws out the leadoff hitter.

Cate still having issues throwing strikes.

 

[dbmill]

Susi throws out a would be base stealer in the bottom of the 3rd. Great tag by Woodworth according to Chris Jones.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Cate escapes trouble.

Sounds like we are starting to get calls.

 

[dbmill]

Cate gets out of another jam in the bottom of the 3rd. He is up to 72 pitches. Maybe a couple more innings for him at this rate.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Not a good top of the 3rd for us. Did nothing.

 

[dbmill]

Finally, an easy 1-2-3 inning for Cate in the bottom of the 4th. 89 pitches so far.

 

[uconnbaseball]

...and Cate wipes them out in the bottom half.

Good game so far

 

[dbmill]

Start of the bottom of the 5th, 1-1 tie, Colby Dunlop warming up in the bullpen.

 

[Stainmaster]

Start of the bottom of the 5th, 1-1 tie, Colby Dunlop warming up in the bullpen.

I was thinking tonight would be a night for him or Kersten.

 

[dbmill]

SLU gets a 2 out hit to drive in a run in the bottom of the 5th. Figure this is the last batter for Cate.

2-1 SLU going into the top of the 6th.
