[dbmill]

Padilla dropped to the bottom of the lineup, McArthur not in lineup.

Root getting more playing time lately, especially as the D.H.

 

[CtBaseball]

Hope West can give us a strong start and limit free 90s. Speaking of which, do we know the extent of Suchy’s injury?

Top 1st, a leadoff walk for Rispoli. On a fly out for the 1st out, Rispoli is caught off 1B for the 2nd out. The UConn offense has a scoreless inning. No score.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Really bad baserunning there, our coaches should be more upset with Rispoli than the umps.

St John’s not having replay is little league crap. This is a horrible baseball league.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 1st, West retires the side in order. No score.

 

[uconnbaseball]

RBI groundout by Biller gives us our first run. Lane has a chance to make a big impact here.

Whoops, St. John’s screwed up the throwdown to second so Root comes in, 2-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, the UConn offense loads the bases with no outs with a walk, a single, and an infield error. Biller has a fielders choice ground out for the 1st out driving in a run and runners on the corners. 1-0 UConn.

Biller steals 2B, the ball bounces off the fielders glove, and a run scores, 2-0 UConn.

2 strikeouts end the inning.

 

[uconnbaseball]

St John’s pitcher has ~43 pitches thrown so far through two inning. A big top of the third and St. John’s is in huge trouble with that dilapidated bullpen.

 

[Bomber36]

This announcer is a master class on what not to do in between innings if the tv audience can hear you.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, with 1 out a batter gets on 1B due an error by Minick. West gives up a 1 out 2 run homer, game tied at 2.

This is followed by a 1 out walk. Another batter reaches base on another error by Minick. West retires the next 2 batters to end the inning, game tied at 2.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Both defenses have committed multiple errors. West has made 1 mistake but is pitching well otherwise.

 

[dbmill]

Hope West can give us a strong start and limit free 90s. Speaking of which, do we know the extent of Suchy’s injury?

Can't say for certain, but I believe Chris Jones said on game broadcasts shortly after the injury that Suchy might be out for the season.

 

[CtBaseball]

Bottom 2nd, with 1 out a batter gets on 1B due an error by Minick. West gives up a 1 out 2 run homer, game tied at 2.

This is followed by a 1 out walk. Another batter reaches base on another error by Minick. West retires the next 2 batters to end the inning, game tied at 2.

Injured hand of Minick perhaps?

Seems like 2Bs ball? Felt like a team error on both of them. Obviously can’t score it that way.

Bottom 5th, West strikes out the 1st 2 batters, a runner reaches base on an error by Daniels. West has a scoreless inning. 8-3 UConn. West has thrown 97 pitches so far, so he may be coming out of the game soon.

 

[BlueWolf25]

Lane gets a 1 out single, a 2 out single by Rispoli puts runners on the corners. Shpur drives in a run with a single, 8-3 UConn.

Obviously the entire offense has started picking it up, but I’m really impressed by what Lane’s been doing at the plate
