UConn @ Texas State Bobcats (Fri. 3/8 @ 7:30p ET, Sat. 3/9 @ 3:30 ET & Sun. 3/10 @ 1p ET)

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

I'm beginning to wonder about him ever hitting for a high average. Chris Winkel has never hit higher than about .230 in two years of summer college ball.

Feole coming out with two runners on in the 5th with one out. Kenny Haus coming in.

 

[dbmill]

Haus so for with a strikeout and a walk. 2 out with the bases loaded.

 

[dbmill]

Pop up ends the inning, Haus out of the jam, he was throwing a lot of balls. 1-0 UConn.

Haus gets out of it! We still haven't given up a hit.

Do we need one more inning from the pen before we give Wallace the ball, or two?

 

[HawkHusky]

Definitely need more runs.

I'd say Wallace gets the 8th and the 9th innings. Could see Dandeneau for an inning.

 

[HawkHusky]

Be nice to get to their bullpen.

 

[dbmill]

UConn goes down 1-2-3 in the 6th.

 

[dbmill]

Kenny Haus stays in for the bottom of the 6th. Hits the first batter.

pull him please---

 

[HawkHusky]

SMH. Still don't know why we used Dandeneau yesterday with such a big lead.

 

[dbmill]

Trouble in the 6th, Haus in trouble with runners at 2nd and 3rd as Phillips misplays a bunt, allowing a run to score. Chase Gardner coming in with no out.

 

[scotty0330]

I am not sure why Kenny Haus got the nod over someone like Karl Johnson...

 

[dbmill]

1-1, Gardner gets 2 outs, runners on 2nd and 3rd, Dandeneau coming in.

 

[dbmill]

Avery Santos is warming up.

Maybe because 3 innings isn't enough of a sample size to throw out everything you learned from watching them in fall and spring practice?

 

[dbmill]

Strikeout for Dandeneau ends the 6th inning with the game tied at 1.

 

[HawkHusky]

Wow. Impressive work by Gardner & CJ.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Whew...I would think they ride CJ for one more inning, then go to Wallace. Tomorrow will be difficult to win so I would love to win the series today.

According to coach interviews that have been posted. Johnson has been either on or off through the fall and the preseason. He's had good outings last weekend, I'm sure he will get more chances in the coming weeks.

 

[dbmill]

Wow. Impressive work by Gardner & CJ.

We'll see, perhaps the beginning of Gardner's rehabilitation after a rough start to the season.

 

[HawkHusky]

Alright!! Finally a pitching change!!

 

[uconnbaseball]

Runner on 2nd, 1 out. Huge opportunity here!
