There are only 2 other teams that UConn baseball is playing in the future this season that have better RPI's than what Creighton has now. Boston College has an RPI of 26, and East Tennessee State which has a 3 game series scheduled at UConn in May currently has an RPI of 90. All the other teams that UConn is scheduled to play have RPI's that are over 100 or much higher than that.

1. How much longer does Ollie Pudvar get the ball on Sunday’s (Saturday this weekends) before Hale takes his spot in the rotation?

2. This team’s ability to be much better than it is is largely dependent on, to take a John Sterling phrase, four players going back to the numbers on the back of their baseball cards: Rispoli, Delana, Finn and Pudvar.
 
I wonder if this rotation of catchers between Cancel, Thomas, Tirado and Righi is messing with the pitching staff. Pitchers usually have a favorite catcher or one they work well with. Rarely do you see the catching position so interchangeable.
 
Bottom 1st, after a 2 out single by Minick followed by him stealing 2B, the UConn offense has a scoreless inning. No score.
 
.-.
Bottom 2nd, Wachter leads off with a walk, he steals 2B with 2 outs, Jemison gets a 2 out double that drives in a run. 1-0 UConn.

Jemison is caught trying to steal 3B for the final out of the inning.
 
Sacrifice bunting in the 2nd inning. Yuck, especially with a lefty batter and right side open. To make it worse, he pops it up. Then we make the 3rd out trying to steal third. Head scratching moments.
 
.-.
Bottom 3rd, Rispoli leads off with a walk, he is thrown out trying to steal 2B for the 2nd out, the UConn offense has a scoreless inning. 1-0 UConn.
 
Top 4th, after a 1 out walk after which the runner steals 2B with 2 outs, West has a scoreless inning with 2 strikeouts. West has 4 strikeouts so far in this game, West has thrown 54 pitches in this game so far. 1-0 UConn.
 
Bottom 4th, after a 2 out walk by Wachter, the UConn offense has a scoreless inning. 1-0 UConn.
 
Top 5th, West gives up a leadoff single, a 1 out walking and a 1 out single to load the bases, a 2 out single drives in 2 runs. 2-1 Creighton.

2 runners are left on base.
 
.-.
Bottom 5th, Rispoli and Polemeni both get 2 out singles to put runners on the corners, but they are left on base. 2-1 Creighton.
 
2 outs, 2 guys on and with 2 strikes on Righi, he doesn’t get into the box in time for a called 3rd strike and the final out. That’s the first time I’ve seen that since the pitch clock was introduced - I’m sure it’s happened, I just haven’t seen. What a way to end the inning.
 
Top 6th, after a leadoff single, West has a scoreless inning with 1 strikeout. 2-1 Creighton. West has thrown 100 pitches so far in this game so he may be coming out of the game soon.
 
Bottom 6th, after a 1 out single by Marshall, the UConn offense has a scoreless inning. 2-1 Creighton.
