Beau Root playing in the outfield tonight instead of Dougherty. Guessing they are resting Dougherty from his injury.
 
Top 1st, with 1 out Abbadessa gives up 3 singles that load the bases. This is followed by a grand slam. 4-0 URI.

Abbadessa retires the next 2 batters to finally end the inning. 4-0 URI.
 
Out of the BE and back to reality that our pitching staff is not great. Still shocked that we aren't seeing Cooke and Van Emon starting these important midweek games
 
Ouch… losing Dougherty for 7-10 days w/ groin injury hurts (pun intended)

Cooke has been getting a good amount of time out of the bullpen. As for Van Emon, he has not gotten much time pitching in games. He has not had much positive production in games this season. I would like to think that Van Emon might make a comeback like Cooke did as the season progresses. Have to admit that Van Emon for the most part has not had good control of his pitches pretty much for the whole season when he has appeared in games.

I guess I still envision the Van Emon from the OU game last year and know he has it in him. Meanwhile while I see some of these pitchers we are throwing out there getting shalacked and struggling with command and find it hard that we can squeeze an inning or two out of him to try and get it right
 
Chris Jones saying during the broadcast that a bunch of UConn players have injuries, and several them who have injuries are playing in the game.

Yup, after a slow start last season, Van Emon did show improvement as the season progressed. Based on that I would like to see him get a little more pitching time this season as he has shown success in the past.

With all the injuries that have happened with UConn players this season, I have to wonder if Van Emon has been nursing some sort of an injury as well, and if it is part of the reason for Van Emon not doing well this season.
 
Bottom 2nd after a 1 out walk by Root and a steal of 2B with 2 outs, and Padilla is hit by a pitch, the UConn offense has a scoreless inning. 4-2 URI.

Top 3rd, after the leadoff batter got hit by a pitch, and a fielders choice ground out for the 1st out, Abbadessa comes out of the game. Cooke takes the mound.

Cooke walks the 1st batter he faces. Cooke then records 2 outs to get out of the inning with no runs coming in. 4-2 URI.

Bottom 3rd, Shpur leads off with an infield single, Shpur steals 2B, and moves to 3B on a wild pitch. Daniels follows with a no out RBI single, 4-3 URI.

Daniels is caught trying to steal 2B for the 2nd out. Biller follows with a solo homer to tie the game at 4.

After the homer, Lane gets a double. He is left on base.

The bloop was a good pitch and the Baltimore chop was unlucky.
