oh boy. lucky there.

 

[dbmill]

Christian Fedko on 3B after a wild pitch.

 

[HawkHusky]

damn it

 

[dbmill]

Gozzo pops up to end the inning.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Welp

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, Dandeneau stays in.

 

[uconnbaseball]

C'mon CJ, make then earn it.

 

[dbmill]

One out base hit off of Phillips at 3B. Might not be seeing much more of Phillips at 3B after this game. Then again, I don't know how well he did there in fall ball.

Ya, I'm over that experiment. Even seemed to affect his batting today.

 

[dbmill]

Dandeneau records a scoreless 7th inning, ground ball to Phillips the final out.

 

[HawkHusky]

Nice job CJ! So do we see him again in the 8th?

 

[dbmill]

It would not surprise me if he stays in, unless UConn takes the lead in the 8th, then I would think Wallace comes in. Either way, I doubt we will see Dandeneau pitching tomorrow.

The Texas State field is entirely artificial save for the pitching mound. I assume that the new stadium due to New England weather and maintenance is going to be the same.....

That’s the plan...

 

[HawkHusky]

ugh. inning deja vu.

 

[dbmill]

Nothing doing for UConn in the 8th. Avery Santos in to pitch. Moriarty takes over at 3B, Chiovitti in right field.

 

[uconnbaseball]

1 out single by TSU, and they advance to 2nd on a wild pitch. I would use Wallace since he did not pitch yesterday.

Looks like Penders agrees with you. Wallace coming in, runners on 1B and 2B after Santos gives up a walk.

 

[HawkHusky]

followed by a walk.

 

[dbmill]

Double play started by Moriarty ends the inning. Tied at 1.

 

[HawkHusky]

wow. needed that. big time.

 

[huskymedic]

... and just like that - no damage.

 

[dbmill]

Pat Winkel leads off the 9th with a single, another 3 hit game for him. Ben Maycock in to pinch run.

 

[HawkHusky]

please don't give me deja vu for the third straight inning...

 

[HawkHusky]

ugh. maybe we should stop bunting for the first out.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Runner on 3rd, 2 outs. Biggest moment in the game.

Moriarity strikes out. He is now batting under .145.

 

[huskymedic]

Free baseball.

Okay - who wants to be a hero?

 

[dbmill]

9th inning, 1-2-3 inning for Wallace. Extra innings!

 

[dbmill]

Free baseball.

Okay - who wants to be a hero?

At least they don't stick a runner at 2B at the start of each extra inning like they do in the minors now. We got sick of that quite quickly last summer watching the Connecticut Tigers.

 

[HawkHusky]

maybe we can finally get that 3rd base runner to score in the 10th. 4th time's the charm??
