UConn offense in general has been doing very well with stolen bases of late.

Bottom 6th, after a 1 out hit by pitch, West has a scoreless inning. 11-3 UConn.

Abbadessa was warming up in the bullpen that inning.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Great outing from West today! Everything except the defense has been on point this game.

Top 7th, Daniels gets a leadoff walk, Minick gets on base on a fielders choice ground out for the 1st out, Minick is thrown out trying to steal 2B for the 2nd out. The UConn offense has a scoreless inning. 11-3 UConn.

Bottom 7th, Abbadessa takes the mound.

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

Good luck on the Suchy question. I've asked three times on three different threads, and either no one knows or no one felt like answering.

 

[Steve UConn72]

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.

Thanks for that update. I guess it took CtBaseball to ask.

Bottom 7th, with 2 outs Abbadessa loads the bases after a hit by pitch, a single, and a walk. A fly out ends the inning with no runs coming in. 11-3 UConn.

 

[Steve UConn72]

Just three hits (and one earned run) for St. Johns so far. They had five or six hitters over .300 in the lineup, so Husky pitching has been strong.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Padilla hits a 3 run bomb vs the Johnnies closer! 14-3 UConn.

This lineup is deep, man.

 

[dbmill]

Top 8th, a leadoff walk by Dougherty followed by Biller getting hit by a pitch. On a fly out for the 1st out, both runners move up a base into scoring position. Padilla follows with a 1 out 3 run homer. 14-3 UConn.

It is possible that if UConn has a 10 run lead after the bottom of this inning, the mercy rule may be in effect for travel days in the Big East conference. It has been in the past.

Bottom 8th, Finn takes the mound.

 

[uconnbaseball]

That'll do it. Really good pitching today on top of the dominant offense.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, Finn has a 1-2-3 inning with 2 strikeouts, 14-3, UConn wins with the mercy rule, they sweep the series.

This sets up their pitching nicely for midweek games against Rutgers and Rhode Island. I would think that Gabe would be in the mix.

 

[Bomber36]

In case anyone’s wondering…this is our longest win streak since 2010…they won 22 in a row then.

 

[huskymedic]

 

[Steve UConn72]

Wow! 44 runs on 54 hits (if my quick math is right). UConn scored at least one run in 17 of the 26 innings, and in 14 of those 17 innings they put up crooked numbers.

 

[HCCForever]

In case anyone’s wondering…this is our longest win streak since 2010…they won 22 in a row then.

That was a magical team filled with MLB talent like Springer, Ahmed and Barnes.

[dbmill]

In addition, UConn baseball has a 13 game win streak now as well.

 

[huskymedic]

-> St. John's and UConn will meet for the 130th time in the all-time series when this weekend's set kicks off on Friday afternoon. The Huskies hold a 67-62 all-time advantage over the Red Storm, but the Johnnies hold a slim 32-28 edge in Queens. <-

^Even slimmer edge in Queens now^:

Can’t forget Olt, Andreoli and LePage! That team was deep from floor to ceiling, solid group of guys.
