UConn v. Hartford @ J.O.C. (3/26/19 @ 3p)

[dbmill]

Freshman Jake Sanderson takes the mound in the 8th!!

 

[dbmill]

Moriarty in at shortstop, Lucas stays at 3B, Ben Maycock in right field.

 

[HawkHusky]

Ugly defense right now.

 

[dbmill]

Infield single brings in a run for Hartford in the 8th, followed by UConn players throwing the ball all over the place, which brings in another run. 12-4 UConn.

 

[HawkHusky]

Very ugly. SMH.

 

[dbmill]

An Avery Santos sighting. He's pitching the 9th.

 

[HawkHusky]

Build some confidence young man.

 

[dbmill]

Avery Santos gets a 1-2-3 inning, badly needed by the senior as he had pretty much pitched himself to the bottom of the UConn pitching barrel with his early appearances. UConn gets the 12-4 win.

 

[HawkHusky]

Nice work. Gotta keep the bats going and not allow late runs tomorrow.

I love 12-4 "ugly" wins. This win was exactly what the doctor ordered - solid starter, decent bullpen and the guys who pitched were towards the bottom of the rotation. Good offensive production. I'll give them a pass on fielding.

Love that, before the game Penders asks Coach Mac what he wants in a perfect pitching world today. Paraphrasing Mac, he said for Haus to go 5, get 2 from Mayock, 1 from Sanderson, and Santos to close it out. That certainly worked out.

BSB Wins Home Opener, 12-4

Notes

>The Huskies seven-run second inning was their largest scoring inning of the season.

>The Huskies five doubles tied a season-high.

>It was the second time this season that the Huskies racked up double-digit runs

>UConn is 11-0 when they out-hit its opponent.

>Under the category of "Stats That Don't Make Sense," UConn is 6-2 when it commits multiple errors in a game.

I have no problem ever stealing 2nd. It's when they try to steal 3rd for no reason that gets me.

Even better, I like stealing 2B with two outs. If you stay on 1B, more than likely it is going to take two singles for you to score. More likely that instead of two singles, you're going to wind up with an out in there.

Very positive review of Kenny Haus by Coach Penders, says he's a quality starter. Sounds like he is already penciled in for a midweek start next week.
