UConn @ Tulane (Thurs. 5/16 @ 7:30p ET, Fri. 5/17 @ 7:30p ET & Sat. 5/18 @ 2p ET)

No Christian Fedko for the second day in a row.

Big opportunity game for Langer and Chiovitti to see if they can build off of what they did in the game yesterday.

If Langer has another good game, I would just start him at third the rest of the year.

If Langer has another good game, I would just start him at third the rest of the year.

With Penders in the past, if you get on a roll, you will play, especially at a position that has been a problem. It is another opportunity for Langer to grab the 3B spot.

 

[dbmill]

Top 1st, lead off walk to Toppa is all UConn gets. No score.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Toppa is stranded at 2nd. No score, btm of the first.

 

[dbmill]

Sounds like Dandeneau probably won't pitch today, according to Chris Jones.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 1st, one out rbi single makes it 1-0 Tulane.

 

[HawkHusky]

not good.

 

[dbmill]

Two run homer makes it 3-0 Tulane, still one out. Simeone has been warming in the pen.

 

[huskymedic]

Was bound to happen... absolute no agita today.

 

[HawkHusky]

gotta cap it at 3 this inning.

 

[dbmill]

After another walk, Polonia comes out, Simeone in to pitch. The first of many pitching changes today. One out, 3-0 Tulane.

 

[dbmill]

Simeone gets out of the 1st with no further scoring. 3-0 Tulane.

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, two out double by Kyler Fedko followed by a Langer RBI single. 3-1 Tulane.

 

[HawkHusky]

Langer earning it.

 

[dbmill]

Simeone stays in to start the bottom of the 2nd. Kenny Haus warming in the pen.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones says Mason Feole will not start on Tuesday in the AAC tourney.

 

[HawkHusky]

Simeone plunkin everyone.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, two out single with two runners on base brings in a run. 4-1 Tulane. Pitching change, Kenny Haus coming in.

 

[HawkHusky]

Feels a lot like game 3 vs Wichita.

 

[dbmill]

Feels a lot like game 3 vs Wichita.

UConn got what it wanted and needed with the series win, so they went with a staff day to get ready for Clearwater. Staff days against good hitting clubs like Tulane are always a gamble. This is going to be a long, long game.

 

[HawkHusky]

Doesn't mean it doesn't feel like game 3 vs Wichita.

 

[dbmill]

Haus gets the final out of the 2nd inning. 4-1 Tulane.

 

[dbmill]

Kenny Haus still on the mound at the start of the bottom of the 3rd.

 

[dbmill]

Tulane solo homer to lead off the bottom of the 3rd. 5-1 Tulane. Fourth homer off of Haus this season in about 23 innings.

 

[uconnbaseball]

We really should have more than 1 run by now. We brought a store brand plastic knife to a gun fight.
