[HawkHusky]

The catchers are such good batters this year.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Gozzo has been clutch!!!

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, Gozzo double drives in two runs. 3-1 UConn.

Also, Chris Winkel doubled ahead of Gozzo, ended up scoring on Gozzo's hit. Winkel's third double of the doubleheader.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, easy 1-2-3 inning for Haus.

 

[HawkHusky]

This park is not HR friendly. I don't like it.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, scoreless inning for Haus, who is at 40 pitches.

 

[HawkHusky]

First 1-2-3 inning for a MSU pitcher

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, bases loaded error by Langer lets in 2 runs to tie the game at 3. 1 out.

 

[HawkHusky]

Can we just get rid of 3rd base altogether?

 

[huskymedic]

Bottom 4th, bases loaded error by Langer lets in 2 runs to tie the game at 3.

And third base play hasn’t hurt us this weekend until then...

... but I feel good we’ll get those two back soon enough.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Nice throw Toppa!

 

[dbmill]

Toppa throws out a runner at the plate for the second out. Game tied at 3.

 

[HawkHusky]

Alright. Let's get those runs back.

 

[dbmill]

Haus at 61 pitches after 4 innings with the game tied at 3. He might go one more inning, but it wouldn't surprise me if he comes out either. Still, he's done ok.

 

[HawkHusky]

Pitching change for MSU. Runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, throwing error by the Michigan State catcher brings in a run for UConn. Prato gets a stolen base, he's on 3B. 4-3 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Sac fly by Toppa brings in a run. 5-3 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Offense continues to find ways to score.

 

[dbmill]

Kenny Haus still in for the bottom of the 5th.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, Gozzo throws out a base stealer to end the inning. Haus faces the minimum three batters. 5-3 UConn. Haus is at 75 pitches.

 

[HawkHusky]

Catchers are so good. Haus having a great outing today.

I expect Haus will get the start next Sunday.

 

[dbmill]

Caleb Wurster in to pitch the bottom of the 6th.

 

[dbmill]

Wurster strands a runner at 2nd. 5-3 UConn after 6 innings.

 

[dbmill]

Wurster to start the bottom of the 7th.

 

[HawkHusky]

Bats a bit stale in game 2.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Comcast is bad and should feel bad. My internet is going in and out, hoping we can hold on.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, scoreless inning for Wurster. 5-3 UConn.

Anyone know when Nike plans to release Wurster jerseys?

Wurster is quickly becoming a mainstay of the bullpen. Penders glows about him in the postgame interviews.
