Bottom 4th, leadoff hitter reaches on another Brown error. He's having all sorts of problems with the start of this season, both offensively and defensively. Peterson gets 2 strikeouts, but a 2 out single brings in a run for UNF. 5-4 UConn, with all the UNF runs unearned. Peterson at 68 pitches and 7 strikeouts.
 
Ferrer is an every day starter until proven otherwise. This is a good lineup but not so stacked to keep a .300ish hitter with gap to gap power out of it.

Defense is a big problem. They’re fortunate Peterson is a legit ace.
 
Bottom 5th, Peterson with a 1-2-3 inning, he is at 81 pitches.

We’re hitting the ball well, UNF has less talented arms than Louisville but much better defense.
 
Bottom 6th, Peterson strands a runner at 3B. Peterson picks up 2 more strikeouts, he now has 10 on the game, and he is at 96 pitches. 7-4 UConn.

Ian Cooke was warming up that inning.

Top 8th, Ferrer leads off getting hit by a pitch. Simmons pinch runs, he will be the late inning defensive replacement. Judging by the plays Ferrer made this game in the field, his defense has definitely improved.

Top 8th, with bases loaded and 1 out, Bushling with a sac fly to make it 9-4. Stock with a double drives in 2 more runs to make it 11-4 with 2 out.

Chris Jones says outfielder Zach Stephenson made this trip in place of freshman pitcher Tom Ellisen. Stephenson came off a suspension for violating team rules.
 
Bottom 8th, Cooke gives up a run off a couple of hits to make it 11-5 UConn going to the top of the 9th.

Freshman Jack Sullivan was warming up in the bullpen towards the end of that inning.
 
I love Ian’s strategy of throwing strikes. He gave up a couple hits and a run but forced them to earn everything in a game that is still a blowout.

11-5, top 9.

I would say it is more of an ability to throw strikes rather than a strategy. Many young pitchers just can't do that consistently. Bobby McBride is certainly an example of having control problems on the UConn pitching staff.
 
Top 9th, UConn goes down in order. Ian Cooke takes the mound to start the bottom of the 9th.
