Zac Susi was a fine hitter by his junior year, but if Pat Winkel continues to improve, my god, he could be so much better than Zac at the bat. Time will tell.

You’re counting on quality hitting by the Frosh Kyler Fedko & Pat Winkel. The plateau or deflation by Moriarty then Chris Winkel is disappointing. Langer + Brodnansky + Chiovitti didn’t provide much; whereas past years ... we really have brought in top hitting from California or else wise.

Clutch hitting really never arrived.

The decline of Chris Winkel and Moriarty at the plate, combined with the struggles of Kyler Fedko this season are big reasons for the offensive disfunction in my mind. UConn gets pretty much no offense at 3B. Injuries to Pat Winkel and Nucerino haven't helped as well, and it slowed the development of Pat at the bat.

Bottom 7th, Dandeneau strands two runners on base. 8-4 UConn.

Memphis aint that bad...ECU is scary.

Decent try by the offense (which has shown life) but we go to the bottom of the 8th. 8-4 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Caleb Wurster in to pitch the bottom of the 8th.

Seems like a night to try and get 2 from Wurster and hopefully save Wallace for the next 2

Was gonna add that caveat but decided to hope for the best

Bottom 8th, 2 men on base, no out, and Wurster gets a double play ball. A big help right there.

 

[dbmill]

Tulane gets an rbi single to make it 8-5 UConn with 2 out in the 8th. Jake Wallace coming into the game.

agita time

No, Octavius. It is Wallace time

 

[dbmill]

Pat Winkel double in the 9th inning gives him 4 hits on the night. Nice!

 

[HawkHusky]

No, Octavius. It is Wallace time

No no Nancy... agita time is constant with this team.

No no Nancy... agita time is constant with this team.

That should be "No, No Nanette". That's a proper baseball reference for both Yankee and Red Sox fans.

 

[dbmill]

Pat Winkel stranded on 2B, so onto the bottom of the 9th.

 

[dbmill]

9th inning UConn defensive moves. Woodworth to 2B, Chiovitti to CF, and Kyler Fedko to RF. Good to see Fedko able to play.
