UConn @ University of Texas 2/24 @5p ET, 2/25 @3p ET, 2/26 @1pET)

The issue is this is a LHN production and the LHN is NOT on Xfinity/Comcast ("Longhorn Network is available with these providers and on WatchESPN with a subscription to an affiliated video provider.")

I could be wrong but just wanted @ct06111 to have a back-up plan since he asked specifically about Xfinity.

Welp, so much for that. "user not authorized" message on ESPN3.

Tim Cate gets an easy 1-2-3 1st inning. No score going into the 2nd.

 

[dbmill]

According to Chris Jones on WHUS, Willy Yahn told him that he should be back for the 1st game against UC-Davis.

Top of the third, Troy Stefanski gets the first UConn hit of the day, but is left stranded. No score, Texas at bat.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom of 3rd, Tim Cate throws a 1-2-3 with two strikeouts. Fives strikeouts total for Cate.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, Texas draws first blood with a two run homer off Cate.

 

[dbmill]

Bad news in the bottom 4th, Tim Cate coming out of game with apparent shoulder injury. Ryan Radue coming in.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Throwing shoulder, not good. Hopefully nothing serious.

 

[dbmill]

3-0 for Texas after four innings.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Tough breaks today. Feldstein lost one in the sun in foul territory, then Cate gave up a double later in the at bat, then on a 2-2 pitch to Clemens a call he had been getting for strike all day was called a ball, then next pitch the 2 run homer.

 

[dbmill]

Ryan Radue gets the side in order in the bottom of the 5th. 3-0 Texas. UConn needs some offense against a sharp Texas pitcher Morgan Cooper.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Hill is still a black hole at the plate.

Pitching has kept us in the game but the offense looks helpless.

 

[Baseballguy]

On the Longhorn Network, Penders said in an interview with the announcers that he thinks Cate's injury is a spasm and was being precautious taking him out. Fingers crossed he's right

 

[uconnbaseball]

Need to score here to have a prayer.

 

[dbmill]

Aside from Radue giving up the homer to Clemens, Husky relief pitching has been quite solid today. Offense needs to get three runs to tie it up in the top of the ninth.

 

[dbmill]

Game over, 4-1 Texas win.

Penders says Cate had some spasms in his shoulder during the week but didn't tell anybody. He doesn't seem to think it is too serious.

Rough start; what a disheartening series so far

 

[huskymedic]

 

[uconnbaseball]

Texas strikes out like crazy. That will kill them vs. elite teams.

Right now, our pitching is gritty but we just cannot hit the ball hard.
