Good
1) They showed some fight in the 9th (hadn't up until that point). Just can't get that big hit to change things.
2) Coe threw 4 scoreless innings. Seems it's good - bad - good - bad with him right now. This outing was vintage Coe.
3) 6 walks
4) Studley had 3 hits but he's not driving the ball
Bad
1) Van Emon hit 3 guys and walked 2 and it hurt him. 1st inning no hits and NE scores 2. Ideally he's a midweek starter and not a Friday starter but staff not in that type of shape at present.
2) If Daniels isn't healthy why play him? Jonesy also drip fed that this hip goes back to last year. So not sure what's going on there. Might be trying to nurse his way through it....risky.
3) Ellisen again gives up a big hit that allows them to lose contact (see also Cal, Aub and UCSB-walks). Was decent against UCB but that needs to be the norm not the exception. Has to execute or can't use him in these situations.
4) Surprised he let Hyde hit in the 9th with Malcom (doghouse?), Garbo, etc. on the bench to pinch hit. I would have pinch hit.
5) 2-5 in the lineup was 0-16 with 8Ks. Still too many low quality ABs that aren't competitive.
I like NE's offense and they have to feel pretty good being 18-6 with Sirota and Maldonado hitting .280/.180 respectively. Will come down to pitching for them as it always does (comparable to Cal). But their lineup is nice and they will score with that remaining schedule. Fun team to watch.

Go back and watch the 6th inning at bats for UConn. Its sums everything up about their offense right now. Studley leads off and gets break on a 2 strike pitch that he should have been punched out. Knowing he should protect as he just got a gift, he stares at strike 3 right down the middle. Free swinging Morton then comes up and looks at strike one right down the middle, then swings at a pitch a foot off the plate for strike 2 and then in the hole hits a lazy fly ball to left. Delena repeat first 2 pitches as Morton and then strikes out on pitch 3. They are lost at the plate and Jonsey even commented as such. Can't overcome mistakes from the pitching staff with this offense.
Agree 100% on Dalena. Took pitches for strikes that he should be jumping all over then swings at garbage. That’s all about what approach you want take at the plate. Not good.
BSB Rally Falls Short vs. Northeastern, 7-6 - University of Connecticut Athletics
STORRS, Conn. - The UConn baseball team's (9-15) ninth inning rally fell short in a 7-6 loss to Northeastern (18-6) on Wednesday afternoon at Elliot Ballpark.
Well, at least they had a rally that made it close. That hasn't been happening all the time this season.
I think Chris Jones said something about Garbowski being hit by a ball while catching the game yesterday, and that was why he didn't play today.
Yes, you're correct he did say that. I just wouldn't let Hyde hit there. Not a huge one but occurred to me during the game. Malcom can give you that one swing that changes the game.
