Chris Jones says Matt Garbowski will probably get the start behind the plate tomorrow.

Listening to Jones is like listening to an old friend. Been able to listen to these first few innings actually since I work outside in a parking lot lol. On full break now, debating between switching to video or not for 30 minutes lol.

Our first run scored and surrendered of the season. A long way to go, enjoyed Bushling’s first at bat even if it wasn’t “productive”. Fun fight, and the washing over feeling of baseball being back.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, USF loads the bases with 1 out, but Peterson gets three strikeouts to get out of the inning. Game tied at 1. Peterson at 53 pitches.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, Fedko with a 1 out single to drive in Stock who had a lead off double. UConn with a 2-1 lead and with 2 runners on base. Nothing more comes of it.

 

[UConNick]

Let’s go Fedko! RBI single. Feels like he’s been hitting ropes with RISP for a whole decade now. Gonna really enjoy this last year for him.

Bottom 3rd, USF loads the bases with 1 out, but Peterson gets three strikeouts to get out of the inning. Game tied at 1. Peterson at 53 pitches.

Chris Jones has been talking about Erik Stock breaking a hamate bone in his hand three weeks ago, but is able to play tonight after an operation to remove the bone. A very quick comeback.

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, 2 more strikeouts for Peterson after giving up a lead off single. Peterson strands runners on the corners. 2-1 UConn. Peterson at 88 pitches, so he is close to being done for the night. He has 11 strikeouts on the game.

Chudoba and Coe were warming up that inning.

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, Stock leads off the inning with his second hit of the game. UConn bats strand a runner at 2B. 2-1 Huskies.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, Peterson takes the mound to start the inning. Have to think this will be his last inning. Chodoba is warming up.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, strikeout, single, stolen base, strikeout. Petersen at 13 strikeouts, and he comes out of the game, Chudoba takes the mound with a runner at 2B with 2 outs.

Bottom 6th, strikeout, single, stolen base, strikeout. Petersen at 13 strikeouts, and he comes out of the game, Chudoba takes the mound with a runner at 2B with 2 outs.

Great start for Peterson.

Boy David smith looks shaky out there. Back breaking error.

 

[dbmill]

First batter facing Chudoba reaches on an infield error by Smith to put runners on the corners. Second error of the night for the UConn infield (Brown had the other error earlier in the game). A double drives in two runs to give USF a 3-2 lead. A single gives USF a 4-2 lead. No earned runs this inning. Chudoba gives up a walk, then gets a strikeout to finally end the inning.

Boy David smith looks shaky out there. Back breaking error.

Davey Boy Smith. This one is not a British Bulldog, or a professional wrestler.

 

[UConNick]

Back to back doubles for TC (his 2nd of the game) and Brown gets us one back

Bulls quickly back to the bullpen after that. Guess there’s no three batter minimum in the NCAA

 

[dbmill]

Top 7th, back to back no out doubles by Simmons and Brown bring in a run for UConn to make it 4-3 USF. Pitching change.
