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)

[uconnbaseball]

RBI single by Toppa makes it 9-6 UConn! 2 outs.

MSU is extending one of their few solid bullpen arms. We are not the only team that will be strained this weekend. Remember...it is college baseball .

 

[dbmill]

Dandeneau stays in for the bottom of the 7th.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, scoreless inning for Dandeneau. 9-6 UConn.

 

[HawkHusky]

Think CJ is done?

 

[dbmill]

Think CJ is done?

That's a good question. Given the doubleheader tomorrow, I'd like to save Wallace for as long as possible in this game. If UConn gets another run or two, maybe someone like Gardner, Wurster, or Johnson can come in before Wallace.

 

[Guapo]

This game has been an emotional roller coaster

 

[uconnbaseball]

Fedko stranded at 3rd. Still no clean innings for either team.

9-6...would love to see Wurster here.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, Dandeneau stays in. He's getting to the point where he might be done for the rest of the series.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, two outs, two runners on base, and that is it for Dandeneau, who has thrown 67 pitches. Wallace coming in.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Gutsy effort by Dandeneau!

 

[uconnbaseball]

Bottom 8th, Dandeneau stays in. He's getting to the point where he might be done for the rest of the series.

Hopefully he can give us multiple innings vs. Virginia next Tuesday.

 

[dbmill]

Gutsy effort by Dandeneau!

Not his usually totally effective self, but good enough.

 

[hardcorehusky]

I could see CJ starting a tournament game like PJ did last year.

 

[dbmill]

Hopefully he can give us multiple innings vs. Virginia next Tuesday.

The game is Wednesday. I would think he will be available by then. I doubt he will go a long multiple inning stint with Houston series coming up on Friday.

 

[dbmill]

Wallace gets a strikeout to end the inning. Last pitch was 100 mph.

 

[dbmill]

Prato double scores a run (Moriarty, who had walked) in the top of the 9th. 10-6 UConn, 2 runners on, no out.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Damn...do we risk Gardner with a 4 run lead?

Two lasers hit right to Spartans ends the rally. 10-6 UConn going to the 9th.

 

[HawkHusky]

Really unfortunate.

 

[dbmill]

No surprise, Wallace to stays in to pitch the 9th. Woodworth moves to 2B, Chiovitti in CF, Nucerino in RF.

 

[dbmill]

Damn...do we risk Gardner with a 4 run lead?

Two lasers hit right to Spartans ends the rally. 10-6 UConn going to the 9th.

Don't worry, plenty of potential work for Gardner tomorrow.

 

[uconnbaseball]

2 outs, 2 on. Mild agita for now.

 

[HawkHusky]

All the pitchers a bit off today.

 

[dbmill]

Strikeout! Wallace gets the save, and UConn the 10-6 win!

 

[dbmill]

Wallace threw 19 pitches, might be able to pitch tomorrow a bit.

 

[uconnbaseball]

19 pitches for Wallace in his 1 1/3 innings...he will be available at least one more time this series.

This was probably the easiest game in this series and we played good offense and defense. Split tomorrow and take Sunday!
