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

-> 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.

We should have won all three this weekend. Our hitting was good but the pitching??? where did it go?
