UConn @ Top 15 ECU (Thur. 4/18 @6:30p, *Sat. 4/20 Double Header> Game 2 starting @ 9a followed by Game 3*)

[BaseballDog]

Only four runs , I have seen weirder things happen. Maybe Wallace can start flipping some coins in the dugout to give us some fortune.

Kyler now above .200 on the year, for what it's worth (.202 batting average)

Funny, I was just checking the UConn stat page, thinking Kyler had just cracked .200. To me it is something, it is progress at least in the right direction. Thinking Kyler should at least D.H. during the midweek games, that is, if he doesn't play right field.

Considering he started off his career 0 for 20 something it is a great bounce back.

Woodworth with a 2 run homer, UConn still down 2 runs.

Hmmm....

 

[BaseballDog]

Back down to a " bloop and a blast"

I was thinking of mentioning that as well.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Doesn't that error loom large now.

 

[BaseballDog]

Oh well ... Swept, but hung around each game. Need to bounce back and continue to improve and play a full team game.

 

[dbmill]

Well, game over. We'll see if ECU continues to trample over the rest of the AAC during the rest of their conference schedule.

Obviously in our best interest for ECU to sweep the rest of the AAC. Need to get above 500 in conference or we will get snubbed as an atlarge bid.

 

[huskymedic]

Poor CCSU...

 

[uconnbaseball]

They did to us what UCLA did to them. Need a sweep next weekend.

 

[huskymedic]

Ha... Why do you build me up just to let me down and mess me around?

 

[uconnbaseball]

I prefer "Stronger" by Kanye myself.

Currently UConn is sitting at 28 in the RPI, although that could bump up or down a spot or two as results come in today. So the team is still ok there, but yes, the Huskies do need to get over .500 in conference play. UConn gets a week off from conference play, playing next week at a solid Sam Houston State team. Need to take that series to regain confidence and to help the RPI. But when UConn comes back to AAC play, they have back to back home weeks against Wichita State and South Florida, who are both currently in the bottom third of the league. UConn needs a bunch of conference wins over those two weekends. A 4-2 record over those two weekends would be bare minimum, but I would hope for 5-1 against those two teams. After that UConn closes with a tough weekend at Tulane.

 

[Pudge]

Just better batters 1 thru 9. Plus some pitchers.

AAC Results through today:

Tulane and Memphis split their doubleheader today - game 1 Memphis beat Tulane 11-8 in 7 due to travel day and game 2 Tulane 20 Memphis 5 in 7 due to travel day run rule. Their Friday night game was cancelled and not rescheduled.

Houston beat Cincy 8-4 to take series.

Wichita State beat UCF 6-4 to take series.

USF beat the Citadel in both games of their double header today to sweep the three game series.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Memphis continues to play tough (even vs SEC teams). Props to them.
