Another strikeout for Casparius, then a double to the wall scores two runs for USM to give them a 4-3 lead. UConn coming to bat in the top of the 6th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Walking their weak 8 and 9 hitters could cost us the game. Out of the 6th, 4-3 usm

 

[BaseballDog]

Time to get those runs back

Top 6th, Christian Fedko two out solo homer ties it at 4.

 

[uconnbaseball]

FEDKO

Atta boy Christian!!! Let’s go!!

 

[uconnbaseball]

Casparius back on the mound. Hits the first batter he sees, damn

I think time is running out for Casparius in this one, given the last inning and hitting the leadoff batter in this one. Gives up a double to the next hitter, runners at 2nd and 3rd with no out.

 

[dbmill]

Wow, Casparius strands 2 runners on base to get out of the inning. Excellent play by Christian Fedko to end the 6th inning. Tied at 4.

 

[Tmill15]

Huge huge huge play by Fedko!!

Great defense helps him escape! Definitely going to the bullpen next inning but 6 innings is decent length, especially after the 2019 season.

Top 7th, David Langer with a lead off double for his first hit of the year.

 

[dbmill]

Andy Hague sac fly gives UConn a 5-4 lead with one out and a runner at 1B.

 

[dbmill]

Second time this year already that Stock is out on a batters interference call on him

From what I saw he never left the box

 

[Tmill15]

Gutsy performance by Stanley today, quality outing for the young man. Threw a lot of pitches! Let’s get some offense against the bullpen!!

 

[Tmill15]

Also noticed a little earlier on the drop third strike that Maycock appeared to have stepped on the first baseman’s foot and he didn’t like that

 

[BaseballDog]

Holy cow that pitch was low to Fedko

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, Casparius still on the mound to start the inning. Haus is apparently ready in the bullpen.

 

[Tmill15]

Holy cow that pitch was low to Fedko

That’s what I was thinking, zone was a little inconsistent to both Fedko and Stock

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, Casparius gets the first two hitters, then issues a two out walk, then ends the inning with a fly out. 5-4 UConn, Casparius with 7 strikeouts. Casparius has given UConn some length and has thrown 102 pitches, I would expect Haus to take the mound at the start of the 8th.

 

[Tmill15]

Great outing by Casparius tonight! Struggled with command and control at times but he is gutsy, great Friday night guy! Let’s get some runs!

 

[BaseballDog]

I believe Och is their top arm out of the pen. Seeing him in multiple innings today probably limits his availability the rest of the series a bit.

 

[Tmill15]

Was that Devenney that pinch hit there? He called him Maycock the entire AB and I was confused cuz I thought Maycock was a lefty...
