END 2: Huskies go in order in the B2. Montgomerie (24 pitches) returns to the hill. #UConn leads Houston, 3-0.#BleedBlue

DeRoche-Duffin is certainly heating up with the homers recently, and that bodes well for the UConn offense. It seems to me the Huskies offensive problems coincided with the long slump he had been in.

Montgomerie is doing his job so far, 4 strikeouts in 3 innings.

Tyler Gnesda is finally back into the lineup, Connor Buckley out.

 

[dbmill]

In the top of the 4th, Montgomerie hits the lead off batter, then retires the following three hitters. He now has 6 strikeouts in 4 innings. 3-0 UConn leads.

 

[dbmill]

In the 5th, Montgomerie gives up a leadoff walk, then retires the side, including one more strikeout to give him 7 for the day. Excellent start for Montomerie so far.

END 5: #UConn 7, Houston 0
Huskies send eight men to the plate and score four runs on four hits to take their biggest lead of the weekend

 

[dbmill]

Quick note. Yahn has 3 walks on the day, which doubles his walk total for the year. He now has 6.

Inning still going, it's now 7-0 UConn. It's starting to look good for the broom.

Everybody loves a winner:

Dom Amore: UConn Baseball Defeats Houston 9-2, Sweeps Weekend Series

>>UConn, 5-3 in the conference, is a half-game behind first-place Cincinnati, and with its RPI in the low 60s, is in the NCAA hunt. Three wins over Houston will certainly look good on a resume.<<

Now we need to be sure to curb stomp UMass squared mid-week before heading to ECU!
