Korey Morton getting his first start as a Husky, playing instead of Stock. It will be interesting to listen to Chris Jones to find if Stock is injured.

Chris Jones says Stock and Justin Willis are out due to Covid protocols.

We all better get the rosary beads out for P-Wink!

Langer is back-up catcher moving forward.

Langer is back-up catcher moving forward.

Christian Fedko has been mentioned in prior broadcasts as the other potential back up catcher.

Georgetown is throwing two lefty starters during this series, so I imagine Morton will also get a start against the other lefty. I would think Ben Maycock will start against the right handers.

Chris Jones says Stock and Justin Willis are out due to Covid protocols.

My wife and I had our second Covid vaccine shots today, so I'm hoping I don't nod off while typing something during the games this weekend.

Bottom 1st, UConn goes down in order.

Of course, even if I do nod off it might make just as much sense as what I usually post.

Top 2nd, Casparius strikes out the side, this time in order. 6 strikeouts so far on the game for Casparius.

Chris Jones says that due to the shoulder injury, Kevin Ferrer is unable to really throw a ball, so he can't play the outfield. Ferrer can hit, and does pick up a two out double in the bottom of the 2nd. Chris Winkel follows with a hit by a pitch. Chris Brown single drives in a run to make it 1-0. Runners on the corners. Chris Winkel steals home to make it 2-0.

Wink steals home!
