UConn v. Michigan State @ Fluor Field in Greenville S.C. (Fri. 3/15 @ 5p, Sat. 3/16 Dbl Header @ 1p & 5p and Sun. 3/17 @ 11a)

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Feole leaves two runners on base. 3-1 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Feole escapes a jam in the 3rd!

Going to the 4th, UConn leads 3-1. A good offensive inning here and this starter is probably done.

 

[businesslawyer]

Counts as neutral site game...

Then why in the world wouldn't we bat last in half of the games? Why would we agree to that?

 

[dbmill]

Moriarty pinch hitting for Langer, who might have gotten hurt after getting hit by a pitch earlier in the game. Moriarty singles with one out in the 4th.

 

[HawkHusky]

Bases loaded, 2 outs for Pat...

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, Pat Winkel bases loaded single brings in 2 runs. 5-1 UConn with 2 out.

 

[uconnbaseball]

5-1 going to the bottom of the 4th. The MSU pitcher is almost certainly out of commission.

 

[uconnbaseball]

That's really dumb how we're gonna be the road team this entire series on a neutral field.

I like it. Even if we are up by quite a bit, they have to pitch all 9 innings. If we get blown out in this series, the bullpen will be saved an inning of work.

 

[dbmill]

Both the younger versions of Fedko/Winkel are coming on very nicely of late.

Didn't think of that. Good take.

Of course, after writing that Kyler commits an error in right field, putting a runner at 3B.

 

[dbmill]

Sac fly for Michigan State makes it 5-2 UConn in the bottom of the 4th inning, one out with a runner at 1B. So far the run is unearned, that could change.

 

[dbmill]

5-2 UConn after 4 innings. Feole at 84 pitches, maybe he will go one more inning.

 

[HawkHusky]

Solo homer. Brodnansky is fire.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, Brodnansky solo homer makes it 6-2 UConn. Something tells me that we will be seeing more of him this series.

 

[huskymedic]

Cole got some pop!

 

[dbmill]

Moriarty follows up with his second hit of the game, a triple. Maybe all you have to do to get him to hit is to take away his 3B job for a few series.

 

[huskypantz]

Let's get into their bullpen. Will help to tire out those arms with 4 games in 3 days.

We'll be seeing their bullpen soon. Michigan State pitcher is at 117 pitches after 5 innings.

 

[dbmill]

Feole starts the bottom of the 5th.

 

[dbmill]

Back to back doubles brings in a run for Michigan State with no out. 6-3 UConn. Figure Feole will be coming out pretty soon.

 

[HawkHusky]

Then a single. Runners on the corners. Feole gotta be done.

 

[dbmill]

Runners at the corners, no out, Feole coming out, Avery Santos coming in.

 

[dbmill]

Sac fly makes it 6-4, one out.

 

[dbmill]

Santos loads the bases with 2 out. Santos coming out, he's going to bury himself in this bullpen with performances like this. Dandeneau coming in.
