Kenny Haus warming in the pen, according to Chris Jones.

Now Angus Mayock is up in the pen.

1 on, 1 out for USF

If they lose this one they don't deserve to make the NCAA's. Beautiful day and you come out this flat at the plate?

Top 6th, Johnson strands 2 on base for a scoreless inning. 1-0 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Johnson got the job done today. He didn't have pinpoint control but made pitches when he needed to.

 

[HawkHusky]

The pitching and defense did not disappoint this weekend.

Johnson rarely has totally pinpoint control, but can still be effective despite all the walks he gives up. He and Mayock need to see more time on the mound, and provide some support to the Big Three of Wurster, Dandeneau, and Wallace.

I ask this in all seriousness. Do people truly not know any other adjective to describe the day/weather other than beautiful?

Welp.

 

[dbmill]

UConn goes down quietly in the bottom of the 6th. Angus Mayock in to start the top of the 7th.

I am partial to "gorgeous"

 

[uconnbaseball]

Leadoff single for USF

 

[HawkHusky]

Surprised no CJ so far this weekend.

Jones said he’s been nursing a minor groin tweak...

Jones does seem to think he is available, despite the tweak.

 

[HawkHusky]

Jones said he’s been nursing a minor groin tweak...

Thanks. Did not see/hear that.

 

[dbmill]

Two out single for USF off of Mayock ties the game at 1 in the top of the 7th.

 

[HawkHusky]

oh boy...

 

[dbmill]

Two out single for USF off of Mayock ties the game at 1 in the top of the 7th.

Dandeneau still hasn't come in, so I have to wonder now about his availability.

 

[ASweet3781]

Amazingly scoring 1 run for the first 6 innings of a game might not be enough to win this. We learned that lesson...2 hours ago in Game 1.

 

[dbmill]

Another single brings in 2 runs to make it 3-1 USF.

 

[HawkHusky]

Wow. Postseason in serious trouble.

 

[ASweet3781]

Pathetic.

What a disaster of a day from all involved.

 

[dbmill]

Another single drives Mayock from the game. Dandeneau comes in, so you have to wonder why he didn't come in a few batters ago.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Unless we come back, today was a disaster.

If you are going to use CJ anyways then why not start him the inning?

I have no problem with Mayock starting the inning, but the usual case is that Dandeneau would come in if a couple of hittlers get on. Have to think Penders didn't want to use him, maybe because of that tweak.

 

[HawkHusky]

Piss poor pitching management today by Penders if CJ is indeed healthy enough to play.

My sense from the earlier comments was that he was available but they weren’t going to push it/him.

 

[ATLDYKA]

1 pitch, 1 out. K Fedko may have the worse uppercut of all. Someone needs to take this team and have everyone of them hit off a tee and learn to swing level again. This approach is pathetic.
