UConn scratches in two runs in the bottom of the 7th. One of those runs was off a steal of home by Daniello. UConn up 2-1. Devin Over stays in to pitch the 8th.

With one out and a runner on 1B, Domnarski comes in to face a lefty.

BY Jinx - you couldn't wait to post that?

It was a reverse jinx, I wasn't sure if those worked on this site. Oops!!!!

Runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out. We are playing pretty badly across the board.

 

[dbmill]

Domnarski out, Nico Darras in to pitch.

 

[dbmill]

Darras easily gets out of the inning. UConn up 2-1 going into the bottom of the 8th.

Jekyll and Hyde nature of this team strikes again. We could have beaten the Yankees yesterday, but today was poorly played offensively and defensively. We got a win vs. a middling team and the wins are all that matters, but we have to be better than this tomorrow.

Amazing job today by Cate and Stefanski.

Great pitching will put you in position to win a lot of games, and that is what happened today.

Rough start... but could have been much worse.

END 1: CSUN 1, #UConn 0
Montgomerie buckles down and works out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam with just one run. Duff-Gnesda-Daniello due up

 

[dbmill]

Bad control problems for Montgomerie, allows one run, but strikes out two to get out of the bottom of the 1st inning. Sam Nepiarsky was warming up in the bullpen.

 

[dbmill]

Montgomerie has better control in the 2nd, but allows one more run. UConn down 2-0.

B4: Coach Penders will signal to the 'pen, replacing Montgomerie with Sam Nepiarsky. Runner on first with no one out.

Radio boys also relating that WM not happy about being taken out and may have barked at Penders on way off field.

 

[ATLDYKA]

NEpiarsky getting his shot now. Wonder how much longer Penders can keep going to Montogomerie, has really had control issues this year.

What does he expect with 4 walks, 3 wild pitches and 4 steals against him? Not sure if those are on him or LeFavre?

Five innings in the books in Northridge. CSUN leads #UConn, 6-0.

Chris Jones reported at the beginning of the game that Tim Cate will get the start next Saturday, and then said today's starts would determine who between Montgomerie and Rossomando would get the start next Sunday. We'll have to see what Rossomando does later today, but at least for right now it looks like Montgomerie has failed the audition for the weekend starting spot.
