5-2 now, UCF bats starting to get to Montgomerie.

 

[Stainmaster]

Let's get some action up in the 'pen. Gotta stop the bleeding.

The wheels are coming off

After giving up the hits, looks like Montgomerie has lost his control, walking in a run to make it 5-3 in the 4th. Holmes is warming up in the bullpen. Sac fly makes it 5-4. Montgomerie strikes out the next batter to finally get out of the inning.

 

[dbmill]

Montgomerie walks the tightrope in the 5th, loading up the bases with two hit pitches, then gets out of the inning unscathed. 5-4 UConn going into the 6th.

Phew...

 

[uconnbaseball]

Offense has died.

Offense has died.

UConn stopped hitting when UCF's starting pitcher came out.

 

[dbmill]

6th inning, Montgomerie gives up a two out homer to tie the game up at 5. That's it for Wills. Trevor Holmes is now coming into the game.

The luxury of scoring 1+ runs on one swing is nice. I wish we had even a little bit of power. UConn ranks 275 out of 295 in homeruns and 213 out of 295 in slugging percentage.

Power is a nice luxury indeed. However, at this point I would settle for UConn getting batters on base on a consistent basis.

 

[dbmill]

Dan Rajkowski is in to pitch the bottom of the 7th. Holmes did well in his stint, no doubt he will get more chances in tight games.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Bullpen has pitched great so far this series.

 

[dbmill]

Speaking of power, a Gnesda solo homer in the 8th gives UConn a one run lead!

 

[Baseballguy]

A homerun? Nice. Now we're 269 of 295. Baby steps

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, John Russell is in for the two inning save. I'm more comfortable with this than the 3 innings he was given last weekend.

 

[dbmill]

1-2-3 inning for Russell in the 8th.

 

[huskymedic]

Would it be too much to ask for an insurance run or two or three?

Come on, you must have known the answer to that one.

 

[huskymedic]

"Lead off walk to open the 9th"... sigh.

 

[huskymedic]

Way to go John Russell!! Save #11.

 

[dbmill]

Russell picks up his 11th save of the season, and UConn picks up the win!

Sunday Brunch w/ the Huskies:

[dbmill]

Important win for UConn's NCAA tourney resume, as UConn doesn't have many wins against RPI top 50 opponents.

All the more reason to limit mistakes in the field and on the base paths. Unfortunately for us we are a bit deficient in those areas as well.
