He read @dbmill ‘s post in the dugout before the game.

One thing to remember, Coach Hourigan definitely had positive words to say about Padilla in one of the preseason interviews.

About halfway through the game after playing an hour. Loving it.

2 on , no out for us. Their new pitcher isn't throwing strikes. Let's put up insurance runs.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, 2 out and the bases loaded, Padilla with a single drives in 2 runs. 4-0 UConn. Nice debut, that's for sure.

 

[uconnbaseball]

PADILLA! 4-0!

 

[uconnbaseball]

Smith...please make me eat my words.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, David Smith follows with a single to drive in 2 more runs. 6-0 UConn, runners on 2nd and 3rd.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Gonna have that crow cooked medium rare. Great at bat by Smith.

PADILLA! 4-0!

 

[Tmill15]

It was alluded to in the season preview video but Padilla is as good as advertised. Dude can flat out play

 

[dbmill]

An infield error at first base makes it 7-0. Smith steals home to make it 8-0 when the throw goes to 2B when Bushling steals 2B.

 

[uconnbaseball]

UNF in meltdown mode. Loving this team right now, no mercy.

 

[Kgun7]

Happy to see Ferrer at DH. Curious to see how the infield moves will play out. Love Brown but he has been struggling.

[uconnbaseball]

Runner just barely made it but Padilla just made a Derek Jeter throw from short.

2 out, 1 on. Pat continues to be quick and efficient.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, Gallagher strands 2 runners on base. 8-0 UConn. Gallagher with 4 walks and 6 strikeouts, and also allowed an infield single this inning for the first hit off of him this game. He is at 73 pitches. Overall, he has done quite well today after the nightmare of his start last weekend.

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, UConn goes down in order. 8-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, Gallagher with a scoreless inning after a 2 out single. He is at 82 pitches.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Gallagher fired in the strikes that inning. He can probably give us one more but I'd selfishly like to see some young guys on the mound vs. a pretty tepid offense in UNF.

It wouldn't bother me to see young pitchers get a chance in this game given the score. At the same time I like to see the starters get used to going into the 7th inning.

 

[dbmill]

Top 7th, Padilla with a lead off double. Something tells me he is asking for more playing time the way he is playing today.

Padilla is stranded at 2B.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Nothing going after the leadoff double. Still 8-0, bottom of the 7th.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, Gallagher starts the inning on the mound. Alejandro is warming in the pen.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Dartmouth just beat Louisville, for whatever that's worth. College baseball baby!

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, Gallagher gets 3 strikeouts in a scoreless inning. 9 strikeouts for Pat on the day. He is at 98 pitches, so I suspect that is it for him today. Excellent performance.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Of UNF's 3 hits given up, two of them were little eefus infield singles. Nothing hit to the warning track either. Dominant performance.
