Garbowski not playing today.

Also a windy day.

Chris Jones says Malcom was suspended during the Cal Baptist series after his homer due to flipping his bat.

 

[dbmill]

Top 1st, UConn offense with the minimum number of at bats due to an inning ending double play that Morton hits into. No score.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 1st, Cinnella has a quick 1-2-3 inning, no score.

For those who can get the University of Rhode Island radio station, WRIU 90.3, my wife tells me they are carrying the game as well.

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, a scoreless inning for the UConn offense. First 2 outs were recorded on a double play that Malcom hit into. No score.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, Cinnella hits the leadoff batter. With 1 out, a stolen base and a throwing error by Malcom allows the runner to reach 3B. Cinnella strands the runner at 3B, picking up 3 strikeouts that inning, he has 4 strikeouts for the game so far. No score.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones says that Padilla is out with an injury today that he had in a game against Cal Baptist. Padilla should be back and available to play either tomorrow or this weekend.

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, UConn offense goes down in order. No score.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Cinnella has a scoreless inning after allowing a 2 out single, the first hit of the game for URI. Cinnella picked up another strikeout, his 5th of the game. No score.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, first 2 UConn batters reach base, Tammaro is hit by a pitch, and Morton has a bunt single. A Broadhurst sac bunt moves the runners up a base, so both are in scoring position. An RBI ground out by Malcom makes the score 1-0 UConn with Morton at 3B. That is it for the UConn offense that inning.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, Cinnella gives up a leadoff solo homer, game tied at 1. The next 2 batters reach base on a single and a walk, both runners move up a base on a sac bunt for the first out. A sac fly for the 2nd out makes the score 2-1 URI.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, bottom of the UConn batting order goes down in order. 2-1 URI.

UConn offense so far does not have any strikeouts or walks in the game.

 

[businesslawyer]

2 hits in 5 innings against a midweek starter on Rhode Island is simply not good enough. We very well may come back and win the game, but if we were hoping to just look much better when coming east to play eastern teams, ….

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, Cinnella has a 1-2-3 inning. 2-1 URI. Cinnella has 6 strikeouts for the game so far.

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, UConn offense with a scoreless inning after Tammaro picks up a 1 out walk. 2-1 URI.

Jack Sullivan comes in to pitch starting the bottom of the 6th.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, Sullivan gives up a leadoff walk followed by a 1 out 2 run homer. 4-1 URI. Sullivan comes out of the game. Braden Quinn takes the mound.

Quinn retires the next 2 batters.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Gruesome effort so far but I still believe. Just need a spark.

 

[dbmill]

Top 7th, UConn offense goes down in order. 4-1 URI.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, Quinn has a 1-2-3 inning with 2 strikeouts, he now has 3 strikeouts in this game. 4-1 URI.
