Damn. Seems like Winkel is almost a guarantee out (or 2) every at-bat.

Bottom drops out of the UConn lineup after Christian Fedko. Still, Winkel's average has been slowly rising of late.

From yesterday’s notes:

>>Chris Winkel recorded a hit to extend his hitting streak to a team-high 12 games. The junior also recorded his team-leading ninth multi-RBI game<<

Geez - He’s batting .263 w/ 30 RBIs...

Top 3rd, Dunlop faces the minimum as he picks a runner off 1B. 4-1 UConn, Dunlop with 4 strikeouts. He's at 50 pitches.

I'm a rough crowd.

Winkel's main problem is that he doesn't get on base all that much. Still, with all the people that get on base in front of him, the hits he gets often count for something, and he does hit for some power so that helps as well. And even when UConn has a few sub .200 hitters in the lineup, Winkel is well above that mark.

Rightfully so @ times...

Top 4th, Dunlop strands a runner at 2B. 4-1 UConn. Dunlop doing well today, with 5 strikeouts and 59 pitches so far.

 

[dbmill]

Moriarty and Langer both with 2 hits today already. Bottom of the order is doing fine with the bat today.

Huge, if this continues.

 

[dbmill]

Two out Nucerino single drives in Moriarty and Woodworth to make it 6-1 UConn in the 4th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

We have looked extremely sharp so far this week. Very encouraging stuff.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Wonder why they are pulling Dunlop already? Surprised they wouldn't try to get at least 5 out of him.

 

[firstnline]

Nuce has been terrific. Really driving the ball to the outfield of late.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, a lead off single and Polonia takes over for Dunlop. I'm a bit surprised Dunlop comes out this quickly as well. Figure that the coaching staff wants to get Polonia in there with a decent lead to work off of.

 

[businesslawyer]

LMAO. Why are they trying to steal bases down 5?

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th Pat Winkel throws out a base stealer for the first out.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Double play ends the inning. Defense is showing up.

 

[dbmill]

Prato starts a double play to end the top of the 5th. 6-1 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, Chiovitti pinch hitting for Toppa, who had been hit by a pitch in the arm earlier in the game.

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, freshman Jake Sanderson comes in to pitch. Another pitcher Penders wants to get some work with a decent lead for him to work with.

Chase Gardner warming up.

 

[dbmill]

Two walks for Sanderson, and in comes Gardner to face a lefty hitter. Runners on the corners.

 

[dbmill]

One out wild pitch with the bases loaded brings in a run for Northeastern to make it 6-2.

 

[ATLDYKA]

My goodness, nothing like having a 5 run lead and then just hand the other team free base after free base.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Oh well; I agree with giving Sanderson a shot anyway.
