A batter gets on base due to a Lambrecht error lead off the 6th inning, but Domnarski gets the next three hitters to come up with a scoreless inning. So far UConn getting some good pitching out of the bullpen today.

We strand two more runners (both of whom got on via the single). These lack of insurance runs could be costly.

We have dominated ever since Willis was taken out and should be up by more than 1 run. Going to the 7th...

4 goose eggs in a row... few insurance runs would be nice here.

With the help of Willy Yahn and a diving defensive play, Domnarski gets another 1-2-3 inning in the 7th. After his bad start to the season that cost him his starting job, Domnarski has also been pitching much better of late. Could he see some time as a mid week starter later in April and May?

Bottom 8th, back to back doubles by Toppa and defensive replacement Winkel gets UConn an insurance run. 9-7, with UConn still at bat.

Krueger lays down a successful squeeze bunt, scoring another run. 10-7 UConn going to the top of the 9th.

Bullpen Dominates in Husky Comeback, 10-7

Notes

  • John Russell becomes the sixth UConn pitcher to record double digit saves in a season. Russell is ahead of Kevin Vance's 13 save season in 2011.
  • UConn starts conference play 5-0 for the first time since 2003.
  • The Huskies recorded a season-high 15 hits.
  • The Huskies are now 8-6 when the opponent scores first this season.
The Huskies try to grab the sweep against the Tigers on Sunday, April 9 at 11 a.m.. LHP Mason Feole makes the start for UConn on the hill.

Got up to Storrs to watch the game. Cold and windy- I felt Wills didn't have a good feel for the ball and couldn't get any breaking stuff over the plate and then Memphis sat on the fastball. The bullpen did a great job but Memphis was terrible defensively. Let's go for the sweep and go to New Orleans on a high.

Tulane has been playing better, but their staff is still really bad. That is a winnable series. We have a tough one tomorrow vs. a really good pitcher.

Tulane was picked 3rd in the AAC preseason poll. The Green Wave really stumbled out of the gate, which was reflected in their mid 200 RPI during the opening weeks of the season. Perhaps the program was adjusting to their new head coach. At any rate, their improved play of late has certainly been reflected in their improving RPI over the last two or three weeks. The Green Wave now sits at a thoroughly respectable 123 in the RPI, and they are currently sitting in 2nd place in the AAC standings. I expect this will be a tough road series for UConn, but then again I really don't expect any weekend AAC series to be easy.
