McBride slider is filthy. If He can throw a change up too I don’t like what I see I love it. The movement damn...

Never heard of one of these post game interviews called on account of the cold weather before, but I can understand it today. That was the shortest interview in some time.

Penders very happy that they were able to go with the two freshmen pitchers late in the game.

Between this and the BC game, we are annihilating Massachusetts college baseball.

The bottom of the UConn lineup has picked it up of late. Chris Winkel now is hitting .254 with an on base percentage of .348. Chris Brown is hitting .254, and has boosted his on base percentage to .333.

Looks like we have a new good luck charm?

Saving the bullpen was obviously huge. With Wurster, Marrerro, Haus, Willis, Polônia and Crawford all fresh, if they get five innings out of Peterson, which if the cold doesn’t bother him they should, even if we get nothing out of Simeone there are enough innings among the trusted receivers in the pen to get us through the doubleheader without having to go to the arms that are like a box of chocolates.

No question it is big, not having to use the big guys out of the bullpen yesterday. Today, I'm hoping that the first game with Peterson has something of a similar path to yesterday, so we can save the bulk of these guys for the second game with Simeone when they no doubt will be needed.

Definitely a new play thing.

With a lefty on the mound for UMass, no real surprise to see David Langer in the D.H. spot instead of Ben Maycock. It will be interesting to see how Chris Winkel does with the left handed pitchers.

Top 1st, Austin Peterson fans the first two UMass batters on his way to a 1-2-3 inning.

Dealing...

Bottom 3rd, a 2 out rbi double for Kyler Fedko makes it 1-0 UConn. Crawford follows with an rbi single to make it 2-0.
