2 away, Merrill retired. We have pitched him well.

That inning was aces!

 

[uconnbaseball]

Love our offense the past couple of innings. USF has just been incredibly good defensively.

Let's go. That's so big

Huskies Extend The Lead! Two-run bloop single for Prato gives Huskies a 6-2 lead heading to the ninth!

 

[Baseballguy]

I see a lot of bad body language from USF. I wouldn't be surprised if we sweep.

Ballgame Over! Huskies Win! #UConn sweeps the doubleheader to claim the series against No.23 USF, 6-2! Game 3 tomorrow at 11 a.m.

Do you think we can get the USF coaches to take their team to another Yankees game tonight and have them get back to the hotel at 1am ahead of an 11 am game?

 

[ct06111]

What a catch by yahn. That was a nice one. Great win!!!

 

[uconnbaseball]

Keep it rolling tomorrow! If we keep playing like this we will be far from sweating out our tournament destination.

UConn sweeps a doubleheader against No. 23 South Florida. Big series win for the Huskies to firm up their at-large resume.

Story of the day was the terrific pitching UConn got, particularly from its starters Cate and Feole. When UConn starting pitchers come up with these type of games, the Huskies can win a lot of games.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Everything was good today. The bullpen was good, the offense hit the ball harder than our run production indicates, and I do not remember a single error. Penders also did a nice job with the pen management.

Notes:

• John Russell tied a single-season record, set by Kevin Vance ('11), with his 13th save of the year in game two of the doubleheader.
• UConn is 10-2 at J.O. Christian Field this season and 7-1 against conference foes.
