[ATLDYKA]

Never thought a UConn team would be too patient. But these guys take so many pitches right down the middle and put themselves in tough counts. We need more from Dalena.

[ATLDYKA]

We finally get some runs and we are giving them right back. Not sure if there was an error on Menzel, camera work not great. Yes they said it was an error. Not a good inning for Menzel. He had a 3-0 count with bases loaded in top of the inning and took a delay of game and strike.

 

[huskymedic]

… camera work not great

Netting kills it…

 

[dbmill]

West comes out of the game, Meyers takes the mound.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, Meyers has a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout. 4-2 UConn.

 

[FLHOOKCFAN1]

Gosh this offense misses Minick. I think this team could be really good, but getting Minick and Lane back would be huge. Just not getting a ton out of 5 through 8 in the lineup. Chase Taylor in the 9 hole is great, reminds me of TC Simmions. Good lefty hitter not a ton of power, but good approach at the plate.

 

[dbmill]

Top 7th, Detwiler pinch hits for Righi, he gets an infield single with no out, Detwiler gets to 2B on an error on a pickoff attempt. After advancing to 3B on a fly out for the 1st out, on a fielders choice ground ball Detwiler is thrown out at home plate for the 2nd out, Taylor ends up at 1B on the play. It ends up being a scoreless inning for the UConn offense. 4-2 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, Meyers has a quick 1-2-3 inning. 4-2 UConn.

Old Dominion has walked way too many people and made way too many errors for us to only have four runs on 10 hits. We continue to put pressure on our pitching to be absolutely perfect in order to win games.
