Tomorrow's forecast does not look good. A shame, as this team is riding a wave of momentum after that win at Houston.

They should be fine to get in regulation game: Hourly Weather Forecast for Storrs, CT (06269) - The Weather Channel. Score early/score often

Houston is curb stomping Tulane... they were down 3-2 in the 8th, then went ahead 4-3 and now have put up 11 in top of 9th and lead 15-3. Corey Julks had a 3 run and a grand slam in the inning!

 

[uconnbaseball]

Tulane has zero pitching depth. None.

In a way, that makes them dangerous for us because we only hit good pitching (Cumbie aside).

Montgomerie has stranded 2 runners in each of the first 2 innings. Also has recorded his 100th strikeout on the year. 4 strike outs, 2 walks so far for Montgomerie. No score with UConn coming up in the bottom of the 2nd.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Neither team hitting well through two innings.

 

[dbmill]

UConn batters have gone out 1-2-3 in each of the first 2 innings.

 

[huskymedic]

Really need to grab a run next inning...

 

[uconnbaseball]

A double play ends the top of the third with no damage.

Offense needs the bat signal.

 

[uconnbaseball]

This USF kid has amazing command of his breaking ball.

Winkel gets a 2 out triple, let's cash him in.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Don't get me wrong, I love patience at the plate, but man are they looking at a lot of strikes today.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Prato strikes out looking, then USF wastes another leadoff walk in the 4th. Let's start hitting please.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Looks similar to game 1 so far. 0-0 going to the fifth.

 

[dbmill]

He's not sharp, but it is what I've come to expect of Montgomerie. A couple of runners get on base, and then Wills manages to get out of trouble with minimal scoring damage. Montgomerie is something of an expert at this, and I marvel at how he is able to do it. No score after 5 innings.

 

[Baseballguy]

Can we please give Wills some run support. It's really difficult to be perfect every inning.

 

[huskymedic]

Dang... keep 'em close.

T7 | USF 1, UConn 0. Merrell singles up the middle to score Zech from second!

T7 | P.J. Poulin now pitching for the Huskies. Merrell at first, one out.

 

[dbmill]

Poulin coming in after Montgomerie gives up a run in the 7th. Wills has over 100 pitches on the game.

 

[dbmill]

It's Susi's turn to throw out a base stealer. That's two for Husky catchers in two days after getting no one since April 9.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Nice throw Susi. That's all we can ask for is improvement.

 

[dbmill]

And Poulin gets out of the inning rather quickly after the stolen base attempt. USF up 1-0.
