The wind is messing around with the outfielders. Especially center and right.

Top 5th, Coe gives up a 2 out 2 run homer, 6-4 St. John's.

 

[Bomber36]

A little power and the wind are a dangerous combo today.

 

[Bomber36]

Coe with 6 Ks…problem is the 3 homers he’s given up. Only one of which was truly helped by the wind. See pic for wind.

College baseball sure ain’t Gibson vs Koufax.

Not usually. Sometimes you’ll get 1-0 2-1 game but not much. The ballparks are smaller, play faster, (turf) and weather conditions don’t play into field conditions anymore. The bats are also a reason. What about any college sport is actually improving lol

Yes, the ugly “ping” is a big reason, along with a smaller strike zone, lower pitcher’s mound and the detested (in my opinion) DH.

Can’t agree more with the ping comment. I’ve hated that for some time now. I’m really surprised their still a part of the game. I’m ok with the DH in college but I’d have preferred it stayed in NL in MLB.

TOP HITTERS.

Red Storm:
– Garrett Scavelli, 2-for-4, 2HRs, 4RBI
– Blake Mayberry, 3-for-6, 3 doubles
– Jimmy Keenan, 2-for-4, HR, 2RBI
– Luke Orbon, 1-for-4, HR, 3RBI

Huskies:
– Korey Morton, 3-for-4, HR, RBI, 1BB
– Matt Malcom, 2-for-4, HR, 2RBI
– Luke Broadhurst, 2-for-5, triple

RECORDS:
– St. John’s, 23-6-1, 4-1 Big East
– Connecticut, 15-17, 3-2

– The Red Storm storms on.

In case you don’t recall, this is the same St. John’s team that opened the season with a 9-5 win over then-No. 2 Florida, giving notice that this was going to be a much different Johnnies team than the one that finished 28-25 overall and 8-12 in Big East play. They also pulled a win at Houston and also took two of three at Sam Houston. But other than that, they have played a lot of teams with really poor RPIs. Yet after today’s win they have moved up to No. 47 in the RPI, so there is still hope this team can stay in at-large consideration, regardless of what happens in Big East

– UConn is still within striking distance.

Don’t feel too bad for the Huskies, despite the loss today their RPI is still sitting a No. 67, which is pretty good for a team with a 15-17 record. Just goes to show you how strong their non-conference schedule was, which included a West Coast trip to California to play teams like Cal, UC Santa Barbara and UC Irvine. Granted, they really have to start piling up some wins as we go through the final month and a half of the season.
