What does everyone think about the sac bunt there? Struggling to get the big hit, hate giving up the out.

I'm fine with it, Garbowski isn't exactly hitting for a high average at this point.

I hate the choice to bunt in 100% of situations

Bottom 9th, with 1 out, Daniels walks again to put 2 runners on base, and Smith with an infield single to load the bases. Freeberger with an rbi ground out to tie the game at 8, now with 2 outs. Game going to extra innings.

Can't imagine Kirby staying in the game, but we'll see.

 

[uconnbaseball]

End it here please…

 

[dbmill]

Top 10th, Kirby back on the mound. With 2 runners on base and 1 out, a pitching change. Fogell coming in to pitch.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones hasn't said anything about it today, but during the game against UMass on Wednesday, he said that Justin Willis was not feeling well that day. Not sure if he is available today.

 

[dbmill]

Top 10th, Fogell with a double play ball to end the inning tied at 8.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 10th, UConn offense goes down 1-2-3, a great outfield play robs Broadhurst of at least a double. Game tied at 8.

Chris Jones just said that Justin Willis is warming up in the bullpen.

 

[dbmill]

Top 11th, Fogell with a scoreless inning, game tied at 8.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 11th, Daniels with a 2 out single, he steals 2B. Smith gets hit by a pitch. A wild pitch moves the runners up a base. Freeberger singles to win the game for UConn, 9-8 the score!

 

[huskymedic]

That’s one…

 

[uconnbaseball]

We were able to save Willis. Afthim should go for an inning. Otherwise, praying for a long Sears start like last weekend.

 

[CL82]

Nice to get the first game, even if it’s a long one. Let’s get another one.

[ATLDYKA]

Fogell was huge today. Believe he had 5 outs on like 7 pitches or something like that, but he was lights out. I guess as long as the last opportunity is successful that's all that matters. Nice W.

Top 1st, a 1-2-3 inning for Sears. No score.

 

[dbmill]

Had enough time between games to play with the dog and eat dinner. Not bad at all.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 1st, UConn offense goes down in order. No score.

 

[dbmill]

Good to see Daniels moving up a bit in the lineup the way he has been going.

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, three 2 out singles bring in a run for Rutgers, 1-0.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, first 2 UConn batters reach base on Rutgers misplays. With 2 out, Ryan Hyde walks to load the bases. Morton hits a grand salami!!! 4-1 UConn. And yes, Chris Jones got out the rye bread.

 

[Bomber36]

Boom goes the dynamite!

UConn + coverage not the best. Coverage was much better last year. Camera not even following the ball. I would rather pay again to get the better footage.

Funny, it was better during the UMass game on Wednesday, no question about it.

Think they are breaking new people in…early in the home season.
