Fair point - it was his own doing.

Agree, but it wasn't like he was getting hit hard. Now you are going to have to stretch CJ when he could have utilized Wurster longer. That is exactly why I leave him in there because you don't have the depth without Wallace.

Nice week for us. I am still very concerned about the offense but our pitching was lights out (except Kersten) against a solid offensive team.

Next week at ECU will show us if we are for real.

  • Anthony Prato's 41 game reach base streak was snapped in a 0-4 performance on Sunday.
  • 7-9 in the UConn order was 4-9 with two doubles on Sunday.
  • UConn has won four-straight series against Memphis.
Next Game: Tuesday @ UMass @ 3:00 PM

Nate Panzer? He sat out last year and did not make the team out of fall.

Yup, Panzer had to redshirt last year (along with Gozzo and Karl Johnson) as was said here, was on the UConn fall ball roster but got cut.

I agree with Coach Penders, Karl Johnson was the real key to this game, building the bridge to Wurster and Dandeneau. Coach Penders in a recent interview called his bullpen a three headed monster, with Wurster, Dandeneau, and Wallace. I'm inclined to think Johnson is threatening to make the end of the bullpen a four headed monster.

According to the interview, Dandeneau and Wallace (suspended for a game) are unavailable for the UMass game.
 
The Wallace suspension is total BS. With that said, we shouldn't need Wallace to close out UMass.

AAC through the weekend...

I hope we start to pull away from Cincy or last weekend will be even more painful

Thinking about it, next week at ECU is hardly make or break series for UConn. No matter what happens, this road series against a team that is currently rated at 13 in the RPI should not have a negative effect on UConn's RPI. The only problem is that if East Carolina comes up with a sweep, then UConn will be under .500 in the AAC, and that is not a marker that you want for an NCAA tourney bid. Still, UConn would have three more conference weekends plus the conference tournament to make up for it

However, just one win over ECU keeps the Huskies over the .500 mark in conference. On the plus side, road wins over ECU would be provide some more nice markers for an NCAA resume that already has quality wins to it, plus it would provide probably a nice boost to the RPI. If you ask me, the potential gain for UConn out weighs the potential loss in this series.

Nice offensive production from the bottom of the order. Conor Moriarty had a nice series at the plate this weekend. He scored two runs on two walks in the Friday game, and had a double and scored a run in today's game. Hope this offensive showing is a sign of Moriarty warming up, similar to what happened with him last season.
