Hahaha of course that is a hit for Garbo while his first two at bats resulted in outs. Baseball, you sly devil.

Yup, first 2 at bats Garbowski hit the ball hard for outs, and that one was a bloop single. Yup, that's baseball for you. Keep making contact.
 
Bottom 7th, a 2 out rbi single with 2 runners on base, runners now at the corners. 2-1 UConn the score. S. Quigley coming out of the game. Will Nowak takes the mound.

A lot of hard contact today. I have been a major critic of this offense, but today is more bad luck apart from Huber’s disappointing double play (he kind of atoned for it with the glove in the bottom half of the inning).

Think Daniels is gonna get more playing time…

Yes with as hard as he seems to hit the ball every at bat he has had, need to find a way to get his bat in lineup.
 
Bottom 7th, Nowak throws out a baserunner trying to steal 2B to end the inning. 2-1 UConn.
 
.-.
Top 9th, a scoreless inning for the UConn offense. 5-1 UConn.

Braden Quinn takes the mound to start the bottom of the 9th. FAU has a string of lefty hitters coming up. I believe Chris Jones said that Willis is warming up in the pen.
 
Bottom 9th, a leadoff triple off of Quinn. Justin Willis coming in to pitch.

Willis first pitch hits the first batter he faces, putting runners at the corners. Willis strikes out the next 3 batters to end the game, UConn wins 5-1. UConn with the weekend series win, the first one it has gotten this season.

Thanks @dbmill. I was too wrapped up in the hockey game to try to watch both!

If Daniels continues to produce when he gets a chance, I expect he will get more playing time as well. Coach Penders has shown this tendency in the past to play productive players.

RHP starting for FAU on Sunday (Del Prado). Wouldn't be surprised if Daniels is in the starting lineup as a Dan Hurley.

All of UConn's runs were scored with 2 outs, not scoring before 2 outs gives the coaching staff agita, sound familiar? But they did come through. Offense limited the strikeouts as well.

Coach Penders says Daniels did a really nice job. A number of guys on the bench also deserving of some playing time as well according to Coach Penders, including Paul Tammaro who is having unbelievable practices. These bench guys just need to wait for their opportunity, and then do something with it when they get the chance.

Love seeing Daniels getting opportunity to start and bat 6th. Hope he takes advantage of this chance.

Go Huskies!!!!

Ryan Hyde seems to have become the personal catcher for Andrew Sears. Hyde has caught Sears every weekend so far.

With Simmons out of the lineup, that opens up a spot for additional experimentation with the lineup in getting playing time for bench players. Also helps that that both Freeberger and Smith are very flexible on where they can play out in the field.

Also, taking a weekend series on the first 2 days makes it a bit easier to experiment a bit with the lineup.
