UConn @ USF (Fri. 3/23 @7:00p on ADN, Sat. 3/24 @6:30p & Sun. 3/25 @1:00p)

[dbmill]

Gardner looking good through 4 innings, no score so far. Gardner is now at 49 pitches, and so far has shown the best control he has had in a game as a Husky.

 

[dbmill]

Winkel thrown out stealing to end the top of the 5th. Wish he had stayed at 1B, since then UConn would have been through Woodworth's spot in the order to start the 6th inning. In any case, UConn offense has been pretty quiet. Scoreless game so far.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, 1-2-3 inning for Gardner. 5 strikeouts, 62 pitches.

 

[Baseballguy]

4 runs in the last 21 innings. Not great, especially when they score 6 off a top 5 college arm

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, 2 outs, bases loaded. Jacob Wallace coming in from the pen.

 

[Baseballguy]

I know the book isn’t closed for Chase but regardless that was a very good outing

 

[dbmill]

Wallace gets a groundout on a 3-2 pitch to end the inning.

 

[Baseballguy]

Jacob “Stud” Wallace

 

[uconnbaseball]

Bases loaded, no one out. Gotta get at least 2 here, preferably more.

 

[dbmill]

Top 7th, UConn has the bases loaded with no out, pitching change for USF.

 

[dbmill]

Stefanski grounds it to 3B, safe at the plate. 1-0 UConn. Still bases loaded, no out.

 

[huskymedic]

I’m sure we were owed that call from somewhere...

 

[uconnbaseball]

USF's defense has really let down some great pitching for them.

 

[dbmill]

Fedko double play ball, UConn scores another run. 2-0.

 

[uconnbaseball]

2-0, but Fedko grounds into a double play. An extra insurance run would be quite nice...

 

[dbmill]

Wallace gets though the bottom of the 7th. 2-0 UConn. Suspect we will be seeing Moriarty at 3B and Poulin in for the save soon, possibly in the bottom of the 8th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Wallace is a godsend.

 

[dbmill]

It's Poulin time in the bottom of the 8th.

 

[dbmill]

Poulin gives up a 2 run homer to tie it in the bottom of the 8th.

 

[huskymedic]

Poulin gives up a 2 run homer to tie it in the bottom of the 8th.

Sigh. Bad time to give up his first bomb of the year...

 

[dbmill]

Huskies don't score in the top of the 9th.

 

[dbmill]

Drat, USF wins in the 9th.

 

[huskymedic]

Not what I envisioned after Friday nite...

... I might feel a tad better if they beat BC on Tuesday tho’

 

[HawkHusky]

This team is frustrating.

Goes to show as good as it is to have effective starters a bullpen can really do a team in. A two inning save has been done by poulin before but would not have been made to see another inning out of Wallace there.
