UConn @ UVA Davenport Field (3/20/19 @ 4p on ACC Network Extra )

Doesn't look like a good angle for replay.

uh nevermind
 
Single makes it 5-3 for Virginia.

One thing about Coach Penders is that he has always been very loathe to take out someone he considers a top tier reliever in favor of someone not on that tier when the game is still on the line. I think that kind of explains why Dandeneau stayed in to start the 8th.

I've never been happy with the idea of leaving someone in a game when they clearly don't have their stuff.

Simeone coming in now with 2 out in the 8th.
 
Damn. Stuck with CJ a little long. I get that he’s a reliable arm but it was clear from the first batter he faced he didn’t have it today. Would’ve rather seen Johnson or even Wallace himself (I know it was only tied but I really wanted this one) to start the eighth.

I think Penders has no problem throwing Dandeneau multiple innings in a game like this, as he has something of a rubber arm. However, with a conference weekend series coming up with only one day off in between, Wallace was not going to throw multiple innings, he was only going to pitch one inning. So it was the 9th for him or nothing.

6-3 Virginia as a run scores on a single, third out comes on Toppa throwing out a runner at home.
 
Game over, Virginia wins. The one good thing for UConn in this game is that Colby Dunlop looked like he is back on the beam, and that could be big if he keeps that up.
 
Welp... bats were bound to come back to earth eventually just wish it wasn’t for a TV game.

Now that the win streak has been broken... maybe they can shave the cheesy mustaches that have seemed to multiply. ;)

Let's shave that discussion for another day
 
Couple of bad decisions by Penders compounded by lack of timely hitting will kill you
The pitching and the D was there for the most part
Very winnable game that got away
Cant afford lots of those
Next......
 
Dunlop was great today.

The momentum of this game swung Virginia’s way when Toppa was back-picked w/ bases loaded and none out, up 3-0. UConn was in total control until that moment. It could have been at least 5-0, if Toppa isn’t picked off there. CFed followed Toppa with a BB, before KFed grounded into double play. We should have had 2 runs in and Wink up with a runner on third and two out.

UVA was reeling at that point.
