[ATLDYKA]

Wurster only at about 11 pitches. Bring him back out for the 8th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

The lead footed wonder with a leadoff single

 

[huskymedic]

UConn got two men on and stranded @ 1st and 2nd. Through 7 it’s 2-1 UConn.

Wurster out for the 8th.

 

[ATLDYKA]

The offense is brutal.

 

[huskymedic]

Langer throwing error puts man on second w/ 2 outs and Penders brings in Wallace to close inning.

Wallace does what Wallace is suppose to do. Line out to Langer.

2-1 heading to B8

 

[huskymedic]

Pitching change for Wichita to face Toppa, Prato and Woodworth.

 

[uconnbaseball]

3 strikeouts. Brutal.

 

[huskymedic]

The 9th inning is being brought to you Tums...

 

[huskymedic]

The 9th inning is being brought to you Tums...

Phew... Wallace 1-2-3 inning. Fugly offense but a win is a win. 2-1 Huskies.

Going for the sweep in 45 minutes

 

[uconnbaseball]

Wallace didn't throw that many pitches. Neither did Wurster. I wonder who is available next game?

 

[huskymedic]

RHP Colby Dunlop (4-3 5.02 ERA) v. RHP Connery Peters (0-1 5.40 ERA)

 

[huskymedic]

End of 1 inning - all square @ 0-0

 

[huskymedic]

Dunlop gives up lead-off HR to start the 2nd.

Dunlop gives up lead-off HR to start the 2nd.

Dunlop a tad unsettled but gets out of inning down 1-0.

 

[huskymedic]

CFed singled by KFed hit into DP and Nucerino K ends B2.

Chasing a run.

 

[uconnbaseball]

HIT THE DAMN BALL AGHHH

 

[huskymedic]

Welp... Dunlop struggle continues and he gives up a 2 out Grand Slam to make the score 5-0 in the T3

Heading to B3 - maybe that woke up the dugout.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Maybe now the offense will show up????

 

[ATLDYKA]

That's what we get for changing the rotation now. What has Dunlop done to deserve it.

 

[huskymedic]

Thad Philips leads off w/ double, goes to third on mishandled ball by catcher and throw goes into leftfield. 5-1.

He has been o.k. in midweek starts. They were probably hoping for length, even inefficient length, with today being a doubleheader.

There is ridiculous pressure on our pitchers to throw like Cy Young to even have a chance to beat the likes of URI, Cincy, and WSU for goodness sake.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Bottom of the order...wake up now!!

 

[huskymedic]

Thad Philips leads off w/ double, goes to third on mishandled ball by catcher and throw goes into leftfield. 5-1.

Nothing more. 5-1 Wichita heading to T4 w/ Karl Johnson coming in to pitch.

 

[huskymedic]

Nothing more. 5-1 Wichita heading to T4 w/ Karl Johnson coming in to pitch.

Karl gets two outs then BB, steal and two wild pitches (last on a BB) gives the run back. 6-1 Shockers w/ man on 1st two outs.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Momentum killer. Johnson could be a weapon in the future but will need refinement over the offseason.

 

[huskymedic]

Woodworth singles, CFedko singles but Woody gets thrown out @ 3rd on ill advised attempt. CFed ends up stranded @ 3rd. Through 4 innings - 6-1 Wichita State. Angus Mayock headed to mound for T5

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Every time it seems like I have hope for these kids...

 

[huskymedic]

Angus works around a two out double for a scoreless inning. Headed to B5

 

[huskymedic]

Every time it seems like I have hope for these kids...

Geez - you’d think they lost the last 3 games they played this week.
