UConn vs. Memphis @ J.O.C. (Fri. 4/1/19 @ 3p, Sat 4/13 @ 1p & Sun. 4/14 @ *11:00am*)

[dbmill]

Phillips catching after pinch running for Pat Winkel. Dandeneau still pitching in the 8th.

 

[dbmill]

Two out base runner at 1B, Wurster relieves Dandeneau.

 

[uconnbaseball]

2 outs before a Prato error puts a runner on. Enter the best pitcher of all time to face a lefty!

 

[dbmill]

After a wild pitch, Wurster gets a ground out to end the top of the 8th. 3-1 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Kershaw comes through again.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Let's poison the well a little here for Metoxen.

 

[dbmill]

You don't expect to write these things, but Moriarty a big part of the UConn offense today having walked and scored twice today.

 

[huskymedic]

Kershaw comes through again.

I think Penders likes his new lefthanded toy...

 

[uconnbaseball]

Hopefully Winkel can move him over.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, Christian Fedko lead off double, Chiovitti pinch runs. No doubt Woodworth will play 2B in the bottom of the inning as often happens.

There's a big doubt. Since we're not on defense in the bottom halves of innings at home.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Hopefully that choke job not scoring a leadoff baserunner doesn't bite us.

Oops, details, details. It's been a long day. Top of the 9th for the defensive move to go into effect.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Hopefully Winkel can move him over.

Negative, cost us a run.

 

[dbmill]

As you would expect, Jake Wallace in to pitch for the top of the 9th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Wallace very wild right now. 2 on, 1 out.

 

[HawkHusky]

Wallace...

 

[HawkHusky]

oh boy...

 

[dbmill]

Fly out to center. 2 out.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Some rare agita by Wallace but he closes out the win. 3-0 week so far.

 

[dbmill]

Wallace gets the strikeout for the final out, gets the save, UConn the 3-1 win.

 

[businesslawyer]

One down, two to go.

Need more from our bats tomorrow, but well pitched and defended game.

Might be a bit of agita, but you have to have confidence in a guy who has been so good this this season.

Wallace's numbers are absolutely insane. For him, letting two guys on in an inning was a total breakdown. Even where he didn't give up any hits or runs.

 

[dbmill]

One down, two to go.

Need more from our bats tomorrow, but well pitched and defended game.

Pitching and defense can take you a long way. Of course, some offense helps as well.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Memphis has 3 pretty decent starters. If we hit them, their bullpen is pretty thin.

 

[dbmill]

Nuc continues to give dbmill and myself our rare moment of clarity. 3-1!

Clarity? Around here?

[dbmill]

Delayed steal? What was that? Horrible throw and still got him.

According to the Penders interview, it was a blown hit and run play. Pat Winkel didn't get the sign.
