Phillips at 3B is interesting indeed. Hot bat, we will see about the glove. Well, non conference games are when you see experiments, that is for sure. Phillips played 3B in fall ball, I wasn't expecting it in the regular season.

 

[dbmill]

Once again, a weekend split attention game with women's basketball playing in the AAC tournament.

 

[dbmill]

Top 1st, sac fly by Toppa brings in Prato to make it 1-0 UConn, after Prato had stolen 2B and 3B. Earlier in the inning Woodworth was picked off/caught trying to steal 3B by the pitcher.

 

[HawkHusky]

Sounds like the ump gave some help to the pitcher who couldn't find the strike zone.

 

[scotty0330]

the last one was not even close to a strike.....no exaggeration

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 1st, Phillips at 3B cleanly fields a bunt and makes the play for the first out.

 

[dbmill]

Easy 1-2-3 inning for Feole in the 1st inning. 10 pitch inning.

 

[scotty0330]

If Feole even takes a breath between pitches I would be shocked. Kid works at a lightening pace.

 

[dbmill]

Woodworth make another fine play in center field to end the bottom of the 2nd. 1-0 UConn. Feole at 26 pitches.

 

[dbmill]

Texas State pitcher has retired 7 Huskies in a row, Feole coming on to pitch the bottom of the 3rd.

 

[HawkHusky]

Ever since the ump gifted him the final out in the first...

 

[uconnbaseball]

Hopefully the offense will get it back in gear.

Sounds like the umps have been dreadful in both games.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Feole faces the minimum 3 batters as the inning ends on a double play. Feole at 40 pitches.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Bottom 3rd, Feole faces the minimum 3 batters as the inning ends on a double play. Feole at 40 pitches.

It would be huge if he can go 6, especially with Wallace rested.

 

[HawkHusky]

Pat really feeling this series.

 

[HawkHusky]

ugh. that looked promising.

 

[uconnbaseball]

More baserunning blunders...

For some reason, this team typically performs against stromg pitching (like yesterday) and struggles vs. high era guys.

 

[scotty0330]

Chris Winkel has not looked good. 0-5 yesterday and two K's today.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Chris Winkel has not looked good. 0-5 yesterday and two K's today.

His batting average is ~.225. We need him to perform to his ability level.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Feole at 60 pitches after four innings. Still 1-0 UConn.

Unless next inning is very quick, Feole might go just one more inning.

 

[scotty0330]

need to create some breathing space and get some runs

 

[HawkHusky]

gotta retire this pitcher

 

[uconnbaseball]

Fedko reaches with a 2 out walk, but Woody strands him with a groundout. It's been a rare off day for Woody.

 

[businesslawyer]

Bats very quiet today. Hope we don't waste this quality start.
