Gotta win this morning one. No mental mistakes please.

 

[HawkHusky]

Such stupid baserunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on!!!!!!!!

 

[HawkHusky]

Runners on the corners, 1 out turns into no runs. SMH. They are really dumb this series.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Why am I beginning to question this teams IQ. Prato is a JR, I just don't understand where he thinks he is going that he can get picked.

Yup. It was Woody tho.

Mistakes (mental or otherwise) are always going to be part of the college game (and for that matter the minor leagues as well), but the one thing that does get to me is getting picked off base, or getting caught in rundowns. It seems to happen often enough to Woodworth (in this case) and Chris Winkel on this team. Getting thrown out stealing is a different case in my book.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 1st, scoreless inning for Jimmy Wang. No score with UConn coming up.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Yup. It was Woody tho.

Right my bad, now I am questioning my IQ

 

[dbmill]

East Carolina having fielding problems and throwing the ball around in the 2nd. Toppa is on 3B because of it with one out.

 

[HawkHusky]

Strand another guy on third with one out. SMH.

 

[dbmill]

Kuchmaner with 2 strikeouts gets out of the top of the 2nd. Kuchmaner is the guy who threw a perfect game and flirted with another no hitter earlier in the season. Scratching a run across in these first two innings would have been big.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Man on 3rd and 1 out and left stranded. Missing opportunities early again. Not playing like a tourney worthy team right now.

 

[huskymedic]

They sorely need a spark... someone, anyone.

 

[dbmill]

Pat Winkel throws out a base stealer for the first out in the 2nd inning.

 

[ATLDYKA]

At least we have Pat. Dude is gunning down some base stealers.

 

[dbmill]

Moriarty earning his defensive keep with a leaping catch of a line drive to end the 2nd inning.

 

[Bezzz]

ECU batter listed as "recreation and park management" major. That's gotta be some tough classes.

Man on 3rd and 1 out and left stranded. Missing opportunities early again. Not playing like a tourney worthy team right now.

Playing a top quality team like ECU when your scuffling along like UConn is doesn't help.

 

[HawkHusky]

Moriarty earning his defensive keep with a leaping catch of a line drive to end the 2nd inning.

And follows it up with a nice at-bat to get the walk. Good job C-Mo.

 

[dbmill]

ECU continues to have fielding problems in the 3rd. Botched play fielding a bunt, UConn has two runners on with no out.

 

[HawkHusky]

ECU isn't sharp on defense this morning. NEED TO CAPITALIZE.

 

[HawkHusky]

Better count as a HBP.

 

[dbmill]

Disputed Prato hit by pitch call loads the bases for UConn with no out in the top of the 3rd. ECU going to the bullpen.

 

[huskymedic]

C’mon Woody!! Be the spark!

 

[HawkHusky]

REALLY need to get 2 runs in here.

 

[dbmill]

Woodworth hit by pitch gives UConn a run, up 1-0. Bases still loaded, no out.
