Toppa with a 2 run double.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Tinky Winky strikes out to end the inning, but it was another terrific at bat. 8-4 going to the bottom of the 3rd, and their pitcher is closing in on 90 pitches.

 

[dbmill]

Michigan State pitcher Mokma at 88 pitches through 3 innings.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Let's get a bunch of those back.

Got two while forcing their pitcher to throw 30 plus pitches. Mission accomplished.

Need Jeff to step up here...good start as he records a quick fly out to start the bottom half of the inning.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Back to back hits for Sparty, still only 1 out. Pitching has been subpar so far forvus this series.

 

[dbmill]

Kersten leaves 2 runners on in the 3rd, throws a scoreless inning. 8-4 UConn. Kersten at 69 pitches.

Michigan State pitching may be suspect, but their hitting certainly is not.

 

[kris1]

Another multi-hit game for C-Wink

 

[HawkHusky]

Unfortunate inning. Not enough pitches.

Unfortunate inning. Not enough pitches.

Mokma is at 99 pitches through 4, he won't be around much longer.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Nice job by Jeff getting the leadoff hitter out.

Nice! What's Jeff's pitch count?

Mokma comes out in the top of the 5th.

 

[dbmill]

Nice! What's Jeff's pitch count?

77.

 

[dbmill]

Now that was nice! Way to take command Jeff!

Kersten just has to stay away from walks. He'll give up his hits, but the walks really compound things.

 

[dbmill]

Prato is getting hit by pitches all over the place.

 

[HawkHusky]

Prato is getting hit by pitches all over the place.

Crazy. Lucky he hasn't gotten injured.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, RBI ground out by Pat Winkel brings in Woodworth. 9-4 UConn.

 

[kris1]

P-Wink gets robbed but gets the RBI.

 

[uconnbaseball]

1st and 3rd, 1 out for Winky.

RBI groundout, 9-4. Nice play by MSU 2nd basemen.

 

[dbmill]

Christian Fedko rbi single brings in Toppa, makes it 10-4 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

10-4 after a Christian Fedko line drive single. Going to the bottom of the 5th.

Way to get that 6 run lead back!

 

[Guapo]

Crooked numbers for the hook C’s today

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, Kersten is throwing strikes now. Another 1-2-3 inning. He's at 86 pitches, will no doubt start the 6th inning.
