Gallagher running out of gas...

Gallagher @ 98 pitches.

We are definitely on the short end of some close calls today.

I've been trying to listen to the game while working today. Chris Jones will comment when there is a bad call, but he has really been complaining about the umpiring in this series, especially today. Jones is really on a roll with the complaints today.

Bottom 6th, Colby Dunlop making his first appearance in a game since who knows when. Hold your breath and hope for good things.

String of lefties coming up...

O’Donnell does his job... headed to 7th.

 

[dbmill]

One thing I've noticed is that Coach Penders has been doing a lot more lefty-righty matchups with the pitching this series, much more so than he has done in the past. Some of it may be that he is trying to nurse young pitchers like O'Donnell and Coe along before they get anything resembling a bigger role. I wonder if Dunlop will start being more of a righty specialist as well after doing okay today.

Stock has been tossed from the game, Maycock takes his place in the outfield. Chris Jones not at all happy with the umps today.

Sounds like both coaches have had enough of the umps today.

Very true, and Chris Jones has noted the bad calls both sides have been getting.

Bullpen has been good so far today. Notable in that a few pitchers who haven't gotten a lot of mound time during games have been a part of it.

Sac fly by CFed ties it... infielder error on a Maycock hit gives UConn the 4-3 lead heading to B8

Reggie is a beast.

 

[dbmill]

I could be wrong, but this could be Crawford's first multi inning stint on the mound in a game as a Husky.

 

[dbmill]

Kyler Fedko with a solo homer in the top of the 9th, 5-3 UConn!!

 

[CtBaseball]

To state the obvious, Kyler Fedko has been on an outrageous run over the past month... on a completely different level.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Nothing is ever easy

Nothing is ever easy

That's college baseball for you.

 

[dbmill]

Walk off three run homer for Xavier. Oh well.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Unbelievable, all started by an error

 

[Bomber36]

Bad loss...kinda takes the sweetness out of the comeback win.

 

[dbmill]

This might be the craziest conference series that I have witnessed since I started to closely follow UConn baseball.

My goodness, some very very questionable baserunning today.

The questionable baserunning is Penders' hallmark. It's been going on since he began. It's not the players.

It's on the players, but I do agree that Penders has always had an overly aggressive approach. Hey, at least he is consistent. For example, Winkel getting doubled off second on a routine fly ball out to left. That's just one where you shake your head and say what the heck was he thinking and that's on the player and in most cases it is.
