Bottom 9th, Willis walks the first batter he faces, but gets the next 2 outs striking out the last batter to end the game. UConn wins 8-6, Willis gets his first save of the season in his first appearance.

Poor planning. You’ve known about your wife’s birthday for a long time. Nothing should trump baseball especially UConn baseball
Expand ...

Actually, I had absolutely nothing to do with planning this event.

My wife's birthday often coincides with the opening weekend of the UConn baseball season. In the past, if I planned a birthday party for my wife or took her out to for a birthday dinner, I made sure it wasn't likely to conflict with a UConn baseball game. She certainly didn't have a problem with that.

The thing is this time, my wife is having a milestone birthday, and her sister took note of that and decided it was something special. Her sister decided to host a party for my wife out of the blue without asking for much input from either of us. This normally doesn't happen. She basically planned and scheduled the whole thing (on the actually day of my wife's birthday), basically telling us when to show up and not giving us much other information. Since I figured it was probably going to turn into a big family event, it was best to just go with the flow, as this sort of thing doesn't really happen all that much. Whatever the case, at least it was a very nice turkey dinner and get together.

My wife is a big UConn sports fan, and that certainly includes the baseball team. Actually, in her own way in recent years she has become something of an enabler for me doing my posting during games, as she generally doesn't ask me to do a lot of stuff while a game is in progress or try to schedule conflicting stuff.

Looks like the stats page wasn't working for the game today. Just wondering, how did Ryan Hyde do today as the starting catcher? I know that he was pinched hit for late in the game.

He was 0-2. He did throw out a runner stealing.

Thanks. Just busting chops since I relied on others postings today. Thank you all. I wanted to see them this weekend but I had to support critical software deployment and any fallout.
 
I apologize if I missed this but was there a reason given by Jonesy as to why we are the road team for all four games? Seems odd considering this is considered a neutral site to have that designation for all 4 games.

Studley with his hot bat at the beginning of his UConn career is moving up in the batting order. A great way to get playing time under Penders, start hitting right from the start.

Our starting pitching may once again turn out to be a strength if Sully, quiggers, sears and Cookie pitch like this. Still early though.
 
So today we are the University of Connecticut University? Learn our name please. How hard is it? Or is it U-Conn University? D79EA524-76DE-4EBE-8E37-DE95F8497245.jpegD1B4C97C-13D2-4D19-B0F4-08DC08334673.jpeg

Top 2nd, with 2 outs, UConn with a 2 out rally attempt, loading up the bases, including Broadhurst getting his first hit as a Husky off the lefty OSU pitcher. However, nothing comes of it. 2 out rallies are not easy, that's for sure. 2-0 UConn.

FloSports is terrible. Can't believe they are charging $30 for this garbage coverage. The camera angles are terrible, no announcers, the scoreboard is never accurate.

High pitch count for their guy, and their bullpen is shot. We should have opportunities all day, so I’m not worried.
 
Bottom 2nd, S. Quigley with a scoreless inning, 2-0 UConn. Studley throws out a runner trying to advance to 2B on a single to end the inning.
 
Bottom 3rd, with runners at the corners and 1 out, a blooper single brings in a run for OSU. 2-1 UConn. Another blooper single ties the game at 2, runners at the corners with 1 out. Another 1 out single gives OSU a 3-2 lead. Garbowski throws out a stolen base attempt to end the inning, 3-2 OSU.
 
I'm listening with headphones at work and my ears are rining from these OSU fans screaming. They must be right behind Jonesy at this glorified high school field.
