UConn v. #23/#24 USF @ J.O.C - Friday 5/11 (Doubleheader) @ 11a & Saturday 5/12 @ 11a

That was a sorry bottom half of the 7th.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Hopefully we have enough to make it to the tourney, but ultimately it will be the offense that will be our undoing. Pitching has been great, but we just can't score enough.

 

[dbmill]

8th inning, Poulin allows a 2 out hit in the process of getting a scoreless inning.

 

[huskymedic]

One run here and we can break them...

One run here and we can break them...

Wishful thinking....

 

[dbmill]

Poulin stays in to start the 9th. Guessing he will not start one of the two midweek games. Who will it be, possibly Sam Nepiarsky?

Humiliating offensive performance. This is like watching a Diaco offense.

Sure enough, right after I posted this, Chris Jones starts speculating on the midweek starters.

 

[dbmill]

Poulin gives up a solo homer in the 9th to make it 2-0 USF.

 

[Baseballguy]

That was ugly

 

[huskymedic]

Sigh... coulda, woulda, shoulda.

 

[dbmill]

USF wins 2-0. Husky bats very quiet throughout. Still, UConn needed two wins coming into this series, and got them. Now they got to get some wins in the midweek.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Abysmal offense, however have to feel good for the USF pitcher with what he has gone through.

 

[SAMCRO]

Good series win. USF's pitcher was dealing today, tip of the hat. UConn has Northeastern, URI, and 3 v ECU remaining. Gotta put hay in the barn in these 5 to try and secure an at-large spot.

 

[huskymedic]

Well, at least w/ the weather anticipated schedule movement - they grab a day off before B2B games next week,

After Saturday:

 

[huskymedic]

Thank you Bearcats!!! UCF drops game three to Cincy 8-5.

Do we view today's Tulane-Houston game as a no lose (either we end up one game out of first or one game further ahead of Tulane) or a no win (either Houston stretches their lead on us or Tulane creeps closer)?

UCF, Houston and Tulane all hold tie-breaker over us. In my mind - it's all about AAC Tourney seeding @ this point.

Tulane closes it out 9-4.

After the weekend:

 

[Baseballguy]

UCF and USF play this week. So as long as UConn wins minimum 2 games, they're in an excellent spot for at least 3rd
