UConn v. Memphis @ J.O.C - Friday 4/7@ 3p, Saturday 4/8@ 1p & Sunday 4/9@ 11a

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.

Mason Feole is off to a good start. Allows a two out infield single, but otherwise has a pretty easy time of retiring the Memphis side in the top of the 1st inning.
 
Feole picks up two strikeouts in the 2nd inning. No score yet.
 
Memphis channeling their inner UConn with some of these baserunning mistakes.
 
.-.
Feole through 3 innings. No runs, 3 hits, 3 strikeouts, no walks, 37 pitches. He has his control and is doing well.
 
Feldstein just missed a 2 run dinger. Still 1-0 UConn heading to the 4th.
 
We fail to take advantage of two leadoff hits in the bottom of the 4th. Extremely frustrating.

Still 1-0
 
We're hitting, but a combination of a lack of clutch hitting and tremendous defense by Memphis is keeping the tigers in the game. 1-0 UConn going to the 6th.
 
Lambrecht with an RBI triple!!! Prato, who has heated up significantly, is the one who touched home plate. 2-0 UConn going to the 7th.

Feels is cruising, I'd give him a shot at the complete game at 99 pitches.
 
Hmmm...maybe, but Feole is still only a freshman. It'll be curious what Penders decides to do here.
 
.-.
Winkel with a double. Runners on 2nd and 3rd and 2 outs. A clutch hit essentially ends the game.
 
Radue strikes out the first batter he sees and gets an easy grounder to short on the first pitch to the 2nd batter. Nice start.
 
Back to back singles with 2 outs...never easy with this team.

But Radue gets the next batter to fly out harmlessly. Awesome series, a great week next week and we are probably going to be ranked.
 
Ball game over! B2B weekend sweeps...
