UConn v. Long Island University-Brooklyn @ the Conway SC Regional 6/2 @ Noon on ESPN3

[dbmill]

Another UConn rally brewing in the 7th, with 2 runners on and 1 out.

 

[dbmill]

Sac fly by Toppa scores Feldstein to make it 7-3 UConn. 2 out, with Stefanski at 2B.

Dandeneau warming in the pen.

Cate leaves 2 runners on base in the 7th, UConn up 7-3. It wouldn't surprise me if Cate comes out after that inning.

 

[huskymedic]

Well done Timmy Cate!

Woodworth reaches on an infield single, steals 2B with 2 outs, and scores on a throwing error to make it 8-3 UConn in the top of the 8th. Love those 2 out steals.

So the announcers talked about the number of UConn road wins and the amount of travel for the “student athletes “ .

Then he said UConn “got rewarded “ for all the travel and their record. What was their reward? Getting a tournament berth? NO. They earned that.

A reward would have been hosting a regional. Their reward was going to play in a regional hosted by a team with a lower RPI that we played and beat.

Tim Cate's arm must be feeling good. He's helping save the rest of the bullpen in this one for the rest of the regional. And he's doing a fine job of it.

Top 9th, Toppa RBI single scores Feldstein to make it 9-3 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

RBI ground out for Winkel makes it 10-3 UConn.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Bring in Rivera or Santos.

Tim Cate gets a big star for this game. He settled this game down when he came in.

Very impressive Tim Cate!!!!!!

Very impressive Tim Cate!!!!!!

Great line for Cates. Gotta think he gets a start if we pull the Regional out of the fire.

 

[dbmill]

Great line for Cates.

With 82 pitches, Cate is probably back in shape for starting next week IF UConn survives this regional.

 

[dbmill]

Dandeneau gets a 1-2-3 inning, and UConn gets the 10-3 win to stay alive in this regional. A nicely done comeback win.

 

[huskymedic]

10 unanswered runs...

 

[uconnbaseball]

I want revenge vs. Washington!

 

[HawkHusky]

Very happy for the win, but hate that we had to use both Chase and Cate against LIU.

Safe to assume Kersten starts tomorrow?
