Jackie Robinson Stadium

“Set along trees in a natural environment, Jackie Robinson Stadium can host as many as 1,838 fans in stadium-style seats, installed prior to the 2006 season. Each seat offers an excellent view of the symmetrical field. The eight-foot high fences are 330 feet from home plate down the lines, 370 feet in the power alleys and 395 feet in straight-away center field. A warning track surrounds the grass field. The padded backstop, built into the base of the stands, is 55 feet from home plate, providing adequate foul territory behind the plate.”

UCLA coming off also being swept by current #25 Cal.

From the notes:

Projected Pitching Matchups
Tuesday, Mar. 12 - 6 p.m. PT
UCLA - Fr. RHP Landon Stump (0-1, 4.30 ERA)
UCONN - Gr. LHP Joe Cinnella (0-1, 5.68 ERA)

“Tuesday marks the first-ever meeting in baseball between UCLA and UConn. In fact, the Bruins have only ever faced one of the six Division I schools from the state of Connecticut, going 3-0 all-time against Yale (2-0 in 1967, 1-0 in 1992). UCLA has never faced UConn, Central Connecticut, Fairfield, Quinnipiac, or Sacred Heart.”

Hopefully with the UConn baseball schedule easing up a bit that it will help the team to pick up some wins. Still, the offense and the pitching both need to do better, we'll see what happens.

Hooray we got there just saw it now haha. Really unique facility technically is off campus but nice setting

Currently Daniels has one of the better on base percentages on the team, so having him in the leadoff spot does make some sense.

Top 1st, a 1 out double for Tammaro, but he gets picked off for the 2nd out. No score.

Not the way we were looking for things to start off this game.

Cooke takes the mound to start the bottom of the 3rd.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Cooke, gets first 2 guys out and now 3 straight walks, threw 11 straight balls. Cooke reminding me of Andrew Zapato. Great freshmen year and then something went terribly wrong.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, With 2 out, Cooke walks 3 batters to load the bases. Cooke comes out of the game, Garrett Coe takes the mound.

Coe gives up a walk that brings in a run, 1-0 UCLA. A ground out ends the inning with no more runs coming in.
