UConn @ UCF (Fri. 3/29/19 @ 6p, Sat. 3/30 @ 6p & Sun. 3/31 @ 1p)

That's the problem. We don't have the bats this weekend to come back from a deficit.

 

[dbmill]

Polonia wild pitch/passed ball advances the runners. Polonia coming out, Caleb Wurster coming in with a 1-1 count.

This inning the old Polonia resurfaced.

 

[dbmill]

Wurster gets a strikeout for the first out.

Were you the jink who said you were gonna stop posting during games because they kept losing? lol stop!

Nah that was UConnNick.

 

[dbmill]

2 strikeouts for Wurster, 2 out.

 

[dbmill]

Wurster gets a grounder to end the inning with the game still tied!! Wow!!

 

[uconnbaseball]

THAT'S MY GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[4in16]

Gutsy performance by Wurster! Team is fired up.

 

[HawkHusky]

No. I've been here all season, baby (except the BC game).

 

[HawkHusky]

Wurster is amazing. My god!!

 

[dbmill]

Not when the bottom of the order goes down 1-2-3, like they just did in the top of the 7th. UCF pitcher at 106 pitches.

UCF starter comes out of the game in the 8th.

 

[dbmill]

Top 8th, UConn goes down in order. 11 outs in a row for the Husky offense.

 

[dbmill]

No surprise, Wurster stays in to start the 8th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Offense is the ultimate energy vampire, to borrow a phrase from a former legendary Nebraska DC.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, with 2 runners on, Moriarty starts a double play to end the inning. Game still tied at 1.

 

[4in16]

Huge double play on hard grounder to third to end the 8th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

No surprise, Wurster stays in to start the 8th.

He is turning into one of the most dependable relievers in the AAC, not just on this team.

 

[HawkHusky]

Our pitchers deserve better. Much better.

 

[dbmill]

He is turning into one of the most dependable relievers in the AAC, not just on this team.

Penders left him in to pitch in that situation after two runners reached. Shows you how much Penders trusts Wurster.

 

[HawkHusky]

Ugh. I'm with Jonesy here. Have Christian hit, not sac bunt.

 

[HawkHusky]

So bad.

 

[dbmill]

Top 9th, Toppa gets the first UConn walk of the night. It also sounds like UCF pitchers have been throwing strikes all night as well.

 

[HawkHusky]

Bad. Bad. Bad. My god bats and base runners... SMH

 

[dbmill]

Ugh. I'm with Jonesy here. Have Christian hit, not sac bunt.

I agree, especially with Fedko the last of the good hitters in the UConn lineup. You still need someone to drive the runner in.

 

[4in16]

Winkle just missed that one. Flies out to the track in left center.

 

[dbmill]

Bad. Bad. Bad. My god bats and base runners... SMH

I don't mind the stolen base attempt by Toppa. With all the non hitting coming up after Christian Fedko, it is something I agree with.

 

[HawkHusky]

True. But just about everything has gone wrong offensively this weekend. Frustrating.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 9th, Jake Wallace in the game.

 

[4in16]

Hit 96 mph on the 2nd to last pitch of that at bat. Ok consistently hitting 95-96. Strikes out the batter but gets past Thad. 1 on 2 out.

That will work the pitch count. Ugh...
