UConn @ University Texas San Antonio - Opening Weekend

[dbmill]

I'm not going to say anything other than get ready for another eventful season of UConn baseball.

Oh, judging from past seasons I'm sure you will have plenty of opportunities to say anything, and more.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Based on tonight I'm sure your right.

Really wish that baserunning blunder hadn't happened - could've been a big first inning. On the bright side, it seems like the bats are a little warmer today.

 

[dbmill]

Montgomerie sounds very solid through his first two innings on the mound. However, the UConn bats need to wake up. Stefanski just got a hit, so we'll see what happens.

 

[dbmill]

2-0 UConn lead after 4.5 innings. Montgomerie sounds solid.

 

[dbmill]

Montgomerie not so sharp in the 5th. UTSA ties it up.

 

[dbmill]

Three run homer drives Montgomerie from the game in bottom of the 6th. UTSA now up 5-2. Doug Domnarski coming in to pitch.

 

[ATLDYKA]

I think the signs were there that he was tiring in the 5th and certainly after the 4 straight balls after 0-2 count.

 

[dbmill]

Agreed. I got concerned with Mongomerie when the lead off man got on in the 6th.

UConn offense making a little noise. Now 5-4 in the 8th.

 

[dbmill]

Two newcomers, Domnarski and Dan Rajkowski, do a solid job in relief today.

 

[dbmill]

Gnesda single scores Sundberg to tie it up in the 9th!

Highly touted freshman PJ Poulin in to pitch the bottom of the 9th.

 

[dbmill]

Poulin gets one out, then two runners get on, 1st and 2nd bases. Nico Darras coming in.

 

[dbmill]

Walk off hit, game over.

 

[Stainmaster]

Ruotolo's suspension is looming even larger than I thought it would. Darras seems like a good teammate and all, but no way do I want him out there with the game on the line. If I'm Penders/MacDonald, I'm looking at who else on the staff can potentially be more consistent there. Maybe Rajkowski's performance today will set the table for an increased role going forward.

Rajkowski and Domnarski did well today, and that got them a good notice from Penders in the post game interview. They will both certainly get more chances, as will the other freshmen pitchers. Chris Jones during the game was again talking about Domnarski possibly ending up as one of the midweek starters.

Redshirt freshman Jack Riley comes in and pitches a solid bottom of the 7th for UConn.
