Top 7th, UConn has runners at the corners with two outs. Christian Fedko and Langer with singles, so they both have a multi hit game.

Jones w/ the "I know the home team pays the umps but..." comment after the last one. Pretty strong for him.

You might want to check the comments of some of the people on this thread watching these two USM games on the strike zone. They starting complaining long before Chris Jones started to comment on it. I think Chris Jones is pretty much a straight shooter with his commentary during games.

Jones and this board were complimentary of the umps last weekend - as were UVA fans on Reddit.

I don’t think anyone’s first instinct on this board is to blame the umps. The home plate guys have just been spectacularly awful.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones speculating that Kevin Ferrer will pinch hit for the struggling Kyler Fedko in the 9th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Marrero is a monster.

Let’s have another inning like that!

 

[dbmill]

Marrero with a quick 1-2-3 inning. On to the top of the 9th with UConn trailing 7-6.

 

[dbmill]

Top 9th, Kevin Ferrer pinch hitting for Kyler Fedko to lead it off. Ferrer strikes out for the first out.
