Top 6th, Peterson faces the minimum with the help of a line drive double play.

Bottom 6th, scoreless inning for UConn

Top 7th, Peterson starts off with 2 strikeouts, gets a fly ball out to end the game, a 6-0 UConn win. Peterson ended the game at 78 pitches, so he probably could have pitched another inning.

So Crawford, Wang, Willis and Stock are all having Covid issues as far as we know?

Penders didn't say names in the interview, but it would look like based on what Chris Jones said yesterday, it would seem that Willis and Stock tested positive before the Georgetown series started, and that the third player is probably Crawford, it seems they got his result during the game today after he told people this morning he wasn't feeling well, which no doubt led to his removal from the lineup. Not sure what is going on with Jimmy Wang, but Chris Jones said during today's game that he is Crawford's roommate, and that he had not been feeling well earlier in the week.

Discussion of the Covid issues at this point, plus the excellent performance by Austin Peterson on the mound today. He is getting to be consistently good with his starts, that is for sure.

No entries I can see after 2:29. (couldn't see huskymedic's 3:29 post.) Was the second game cancelled? Covid?

 

[Steve UConn72]

Never mind. From uconnhuskies.com : The seven inning ballgame was suppose to be the first game of a doubleheader but due to an abundance of caution due to Covid-19. The Huskies have gone on pause for the next 48 hours and the final two games against Georgetown have been canceled
