MLB defense right there. Get that on Sportscenter.

There are almost as many people on this feed as there is in the stadium.

There aren't many pitchers whose breaking stuff can rival Cate's but this kid for Citadel can spin it

 

[HawkHusky]

Typical UCONN base-running. Do they ever practice?

 

[uconnbaseball]

My lord, good thing Cate is on the mound tonight.

Typical UCONN base-running. Do they ever practice?

That was a hit and run that Troy couldn’t get to

Getting thrown out attempting to steal is a bit different than getting thrown out on the bases whether on a hit or getting picked off. It may be the same result, but I wouldn't call it bad base running.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, a single and then a hit by pitch by Cate with no out has him in trouble again.

 

[scotty0330]

Cate for not allowing a run has not been sharp. Has been in trouble several innings now....he is really laboring in these last couple innings meaning that we could turn it over to what has been a shaky pen all season..

 

[dbmill]

Citadel single ties it up at 2 in the bottom of the 6th.

 

[scotty0330]

2-2 ugg

 

[dbmill]

Cate throws away a pick off attempt at 2B. Runners on 1B and 3B with 1 out. Cate gets another out through a strikeout. Gets another strikeout to end the inning tied at 2. Cate is up to 100 pitches, I would say it is time for him to come out.

 

[uconnbaseball]

We simply have not hit at all since the SELA series. It will come back.

 

[dbmill]

Top 7th, UConn goes down quickly 1-2-3. Cate stays in for the bottom of the 7th. Dandeneau warming up.

 

[dbmill]

Unbelievable, two errors on a pick off lets in a Citadel run in the bottom of the 7th. The Citadel now leads 3-2.

 

[dbmill]

These misplays in the field are magnified by the simple lack of offense by UConn.

 

[Baseballguy]

This has been a carryover of last Sunday’s game. Ugly baseball.

 

[dbmill]

CJ Dandeneau in to pitch the bottom of the 8th, UConn still down 3-2.

 

[scotty0330]

This bullpen can not put up a zero against a Citadel....yikes this could be a long spring break. Good god.

 

[dbmill]

The Citadel gets an insurance run off of Dandeneau. Two runners on, two out with Trevor Holmes coming in to pitch.

 

[ATLDYKA]

We are what Steven A Smith calls the Dallas Cowboys "An accident waiting to happen". Can't keep throwing games away. Keep saying it is early in the season, but this is what keeps you home in June. It is simple things. Why are you trying to pick a guy off second. There are 2 outs, go after the hitter. Then 2 out walks, stolen base and a single later is another run. How many guys did I see us have thrown out trying to steal just to see the next guy get a hit. Killing themselves right now.

 

[dbmill]

Holmes gets a quick ground out to end the inning. Holmes is setting himself up for more pitching time.

 

[huskymedic]

PizzAzz way to start the weekend...

 

[dbmill]

Game over, the Citadel wins 4-2.

 

[ATLDYKA]

8 hits through 5 and what nothing over the final 4. What a crappy way to start the weekend.

 

[ATLDYKA]

At least the hockey team is playing well. Wait, let me knock on wood.
