I'm thinking they need to find a way to get Phillips bat in the lineup everyday. Kid can hit.

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.

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.

Why is our offense so much better on Saturday than Sunday? Damn random variance...

Bottom 3rd, Gardner becomes the latest Husky pitcher to pick off a runner. Helps that he didn't throw it away. No score going to the top of the 4th.

Bottom 4th, the Citadel scores a run to make it 1-0. Considering Gardner's wildness in that inning, it could have been a lot worse for UConn. Gardner was helped out by some nice plays by the UConn defense.

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 throws a wild pitch on a walk, runners on 1st and 3rd with 1 out. Gardner coming out, Holmes replacing him.

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

Can we please throw strikes. Our offense is feast or famon. Didn't like not rewarding Phillips.
