UConn v. USF @ J.O.C. (Fri. 5/10 @ *3p*, *Sat. 5/11 > Double Header Gm 1 @ 11a/Gm 2 @ 2:45*)

[uconnbaseball]

Gutty effort. 2 runs in 6 innings is getting it done in college baseball.

If this team cannot score we don't deserve postseason play.

 

[HawkHusky]

USF pitcher at 86 pitches to start the bottom of the 6th.

It really is hard to believe this is the same offense we had earlier this year. You would think as the season goes on it would get even better, not the other way around. I watched some of the Arkansas/LSU game last night and the difference is night and day. Those teams make it look so easy, the ball just pops off the bats. Makes you think our bats are dead or something.

 

[dbmill]

Wurster in to pitch the top of the 7th. Still 2-1 Bulls.

 

[HawkHusky]

Any time this team gets behind, it turns into a game of hero ball instead of getting on base by any means and driving up the pitch count.

 

[dbmill]

Doubleheader tomorrow, the second game will be on WHUS. Don't know if it will just be streamed or if it will be on the radio.

I said a few weeks ago that I would have gathered up all the bats and taken them up to Cemetery Hill and had a symbolic burning/melting of the bats @ the base of Angie and Chuck’s grave.

 

[huskymedic]

Wurster works around a 1out BB to keep it 2-1 heading to B7

 

[HawkHusky]

New USF pitcher.

Unfortunately its the same thing when we get an early lead. We then go silent and let teams back in games. Bottom line is we are a very impatient team and it doesn't appear to be changing any time soon. Last week watching it was driving me nuts, guys were looking at pitches right down the middle and swinging at pitches way out of the strike zone. We have no discipline at the plate.

 

[huskymedic]

Prato!!! 2 run bomb. 3-2 Huskies! Toppa was on first after HBP.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Hallelujah!! Prato!!

 

[dbmill]

Hard to score when you wait until 2 outs to get runners on base. Great to see this time it was the exception.

 

[HawkHusky]

omg. now that's the kind of hero ball i like!!

 

[HawkHusky]

Like Jonesy said...if UConn hangs on to win, that's one of the biggest hits of the season.

Prato!!! 2 run bomb. 3-2 Huskies! Toppa was on first after HBP.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Huuuuuuge hit!

 

[uconnbaseball]

Wew

 

[dbmill]

Wurster stays in for the start of the 8th inning.

 

[uconnbaseball]

If Caleb can work a few quick outs, we can save CJ for a longer stint tomorrow.

 

[dbmill]

Two out in the 8th, runner on 1B due to hit by pitch, Wallace coming in to pitch.

Chris Jones first said Dandeneau, so I was mislead.

 

[huskymedic]

UConn pitching change w/ 2 outs. Wallace coming in w/ man on first (after leadoff HBP)

 

[uconnbaseball]

Ok nvm, hi CJ!

 

[huskymedic]

No pressure:

 

[dbmill]

Wallace gets the strikeout to end the top of the 8th. 3-2 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

If Wallace can work quickly in the 9th, he should be available to pitch a game tomorrow.

 

[huskymedic]

Wallace gets the strikeout to end the top of the 8th. 3-2 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Lead off strikeout for Christian Fedko in the 8th, for his fourth strikeout of the day. He has 31 strikeouts on the year, which isn't too bad. However, four in one day is certainly not good.

 

[huskymedic]

Lead off strikeout for Christian Fedko in the 8th, for his fourth strikeout of the day.

I’m betting he makes up for it before the weekend is over...

 

[huskymedic]

Amenities!

KFed knocks in Pat Winkel (infield single > 2nd on WP). 4-2
