[dbmill]

5-4 UConn after 4 innings. Mason Feole up to 86 pitches. Guessing one more inning from him.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Keep hitting

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, infield single to lead off the inning for SELU. Jeff Kersten warming up.

 

[dbmill]

Feole walks the next batter. Kersten gets the call from the bullpen.

 

[dbmill]

SELU ties it up at 5 as the game goes to the top of the 6th.

 

[UConNick]

5-5 top seven... Feldstein begins the inning with his third K of the game. sounds like he's getting too pull happy and helpless on outside pitches.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Offense has died.

 

[Baseballguy]

The fans at the game are so impatient. It’s quite funny hearing their complaints through the broadcast

 

[Stainmaster]

Rats.

 

[dbmill]

Kersten gives up a run in the bottom of the 7th, Dandeneau gets the final two outs of the inning. UConn trails 6-5 going to the top of the 8th.

 

[dbmill]

1-2-3 inning for Dandeneau in the bottom of the 8th.

 

[UConNick]

Still 6-5 heading to top nine. Bats have to wake up NOW.

 

[Stainmaster]

WOAH there!

 

[UConNick]

ISAAAAAAAAAC !!!!!!!!

 

[Baseballguy]

LET’S GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dbmill]

Top of 9th, two run homer for Feldstein!!! UConn up 7-6!!!

 

[killerBsaturn]

Yesss!

 

[dbmill]

Susi got on ahead of Feldstein and was pinch run for. Kenny Bergmann will have to catch the bottom of the 9th, as Phillips is also out of the game.

Poulin warming up in the pen.

 

[dbmill]

Poulin comes in for the bottom of the 9th. Bergmann in to catch.

 

[UConNick]

3-4-5 coming up against Poulin.

Edit: And as postulated it is Bergmann behind the plate.

 

[UConNick]

One out which was against their best player, Schwanner (spelling?) who had been on four times today. Poulin was ahead 0-2, then worked back to 3-2, before getting a groundout to CMo at third.

 

[dbmill]

3-4-5 coming up against Poulin.

Edit: And as postulated it is Bergmann behind the plate.

Postulated? That's big language even for me.

 

[dbmill]

Poulin gets a 1-2-3 inning, gets the save, and UConn wins 7-6!

 

[Baseballguy]

This team has....

 

[UConNick]

7-6 final for the good guys!

 

[UConNick]

the great thing is that we didn't even play well; pitching was all over the place (except for CJ and PJ), bats went silent for the second half of the game until Susi/Feldstein, and defense sounded subpar as well. Hell, according to Jones, Penders didn't coach a great game, either. But yet, we stole the W. Time to go get the next one.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones says the second game is on the WHUS sports stream. I'm going to miss it, as I have a play that we're going to tonight. Do some good posting without me.

 

[Baseballguy]

The W is big for next game.

 

[dbmill]

3 hits, 3 RBI for Susi in that game.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Team showing some real grit. Nice to see Feldstein get on track and bounce back. Susi is really warming up now. Great win. Let's get the sweep now.
