Wild pitch moves the runner to 2B, runner at 3B holds. Brown throwing error brings in two runs. 10-7, two out. Runner at 2B.

Oh my gosh!

Pop up ends the inning. 10-7 UConn.

Gonna pass out Ativan on here before each game.

Top 9th, Kyler Fedko pinch hitting for Maycock to lead off. The big thing is he will be a defensive replacement in right field at the bottom of the inning. Coaching staff loves his defense in the outfield.

Kyler comes up with a single, which is certainly better than another strikeout.

Good start to the 9th by Kyler fedko

Chris Jones saying that the travel roster starting next week will be 28, and increase of two from the first two weeks of the season.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Rare deep from Jonesy

 

[nadav]

Uconn really wants to catch that flight

 

[dbmill]

On to the bottom of the 9th with a 10-7 UConn lead.

 

[huskymedic]

C’mon Caleb... bring it home!

 

[dbmill]

Wurster strikeout for the first out.

 

[uconnbaseball]

CAN WE NOT

 

[dbmill]

A walk and a hit by pitch brings the tying run to the plate with one out.

 

[BaseballDog]

A win to salvage the weekend. On to Conway next weekend.

 

[dbmill]

Double play!! UConn wins 10-7. Austin Peterson gets his first win as a Husky.

 

[Bomber36]

Nice! Needed that W.

 

[huskymedic]

 

[Tmill15]

Huge win!! Leave with some momentum! Great game by Reggie Crawford and a fantastic outing by Peterson

 

[uconnbaseball]

Get 3 out of 4 next weekend and we will be feeling pretty good.

Surprised we haven't seen Mayock out of the pen yet. Wonder if he could end up being the 4th starter next weekend.

I don't think Mayock has been on the travel roster the first two weekends, as Chris Jones will occasionally mention who is available to play during a broadcast.

From the preseason coaches interviews, the guys who are extended to be starters are Ben Casparius, Joe Simeone, Austin Peterson, Jimmy Wang, Patrick Gallagher, and Will Lucas. Off of the first two weekends, my guess for the starters for next weekend would be that Casparius, Simeone, and Peterson are fairly definite. Chris Jones was speculating that Gallagher with his good relief effort in this series would give him a nod for the fourth starter, and I am inclined to agree with that.

By the way, good to see you back for another season of UConn baseball madness. I knew something was missing.

Brown makes a solid play on a grounder for the first out, runners do not advance.

Top 4th, Crawford 2 run homer!! 2-0 UConn, no outs.

Crawford is our next Major League Star!

 

[huskymedic]

-> UConn next will head to Conway, South Carolina to take part in a four-game tournament where it will play Miami (Ohio), Davidson, and Coastal Carolina twice. The first pitch against Miami is at noon on Friday. <-

"Austin was awesome". In addition to Peterson and Crawford, some good words for Chris Brown as well. Coach Penders also liked that they were putting the ball in play and force USM to make some plays. Still have things to clean up. That would include the interview that was posted, which is truncated and cuts Penders off in mid sentence, I would think this is due in part to the rush to catch a plane to carry them back home.
