Hitting the ball much better this game. That's good as a loss would hurt our RPI.

Chris Winkel w/ a triple w/ two outs followed by a Moriarty BB. Toppa base hit scores Winkel. 5-2 heading to B6

Polonia to start the inning.

Chris Winkel now has 4 triples on the year, after none last season. He also has 12 doubles, which is one more than last season. In a season that is until now been one of decline for him, those two power categories are the two offensive areas where he is better than last year.

CJ Dandenau coming in w/ man on first and two outs.

Men on second (wild pitch) and first (BB) w/ two outs and Dandenau gets the K to get out of the jam.

To T8 we go up 5-3

Nothing... 5-3 headed to B8

Dandenau back out.

 

[dbmill]

Thad Phillips pinched hit for Moriarty in the top of the 8th, and now Phillips is at 3B. Not the usual path for this team, but Moriarty does have a throwing error today.

Still not sure what happened to Moriarity's defense this year.

Rams get a two out walk and steal and score on a liner over Prato’s glove. 5-4.

Penders making the change. Man on first - 2 outs.

Plus his offense is worse than last year as well. Not a good combination at all.

Wallace in. Men on first and second two outs after infield hit. Wallace strikes out next batter.

Headed to 9th up one.

I wonder if the agita is worse when you don't have the radio feed?

It is.

 

[dbmill]

It is.

I'm inclined to agree.

Thanks for the constant updates - it is appreciated. That's why you're my favorite.

Offense died late.

 

[huskymedic]

UConn down 1-2-3 in T9.

Hang on...

Hang on...

To the agita?

 

[huskymedic]

Two out, man on first (BB)... winning run coming to plate - grounder to third and Phillips makes strong throw to first to arguably get the third out.

Ball game over

At least this team hasn’t lost these types of games this year

It's the second year in a row that UConn lost only 1 game to a New England school. I'd take that record any season.
