Phillips could begin to see more time at DH or 1B. At 1B he could spell Winkel against lefty pitchers. Of course, UConn has yet to face a lefty starter. At DH, Phillips would take time from Fedko there. Fedko could move to 3B or 2B as Penders gains more confidence of his ability in the field. Neither Moriarty or Woodworth have not yet hit much this year, so it that continues it could be a possibility as well.

Andy Hague was one of my favorite kids before he became a Husky and he will be far after he leaves Storrs. He approached this interview the same way he approaches everything...with a smile on his face. He’s the same person on and off the field. He will become a fan favorite by the time his career is done.

Huskies Post Season-High 17 Runs at The Citadel
Notes
Notes
- The Huskies scored 17 runs in a game for the first time since March 11, 2016. The Huskies defeated William & Mary in Northridge, Calif. 18-1.
- The Huskies recorded numerous career-highs: Troy Stefanski (four RBIs), Mike Woodworth (first extra-base hit), Andy Hague (first hit), Thad Phillips (three hits), Joe Simeone (first strikeout), Christian Fedko (three RBIs), Anthony Nucerino (first hit, RBI, extra-base hit).
- The Huskies utilized all 14-position players that were available, in the contest.
Conor Moriarty did not play, but he did play last night, so he made the trip. According to the notes, that would mean he was not available to play. Is he hurt?

This is Isaac Feldstein's third game at DH in the last two weekends. I hope his knee is ok, as it definitely affected his hitting last season. Fedko gets another infield start, with Woodworth showing more of his defensive versatility getting an outfield start.

I like Woody in the 9 spot, functioning as a pseudo leadoff hitter.

I’m assuming the late scratch is Troy, as I did not see the original lineup posted. I hope he’s fine.
Chris Jones says Stefanski hurt his back in pregame activities.

Why is our offense so much better on Saturday than Sunday? Damn random variance...
Also, a different pitcher for the opposition.
No score going into the bottom of the 3rd.

Our defense has rebounded nicely the past 2 games.

Woody is stranded at 3rd in the top of the 5th.
Two out rallies are tough.
Meanwhile, Gardner walks the lead off hitter in the bottom of the 5th, so his control issues in this game may not be over.

Gardner’s days as the Sunday guy may be numbered if Kersten has a good game Tuesday
