VPI-UConn thread 530 start

[huskymedic]

Love the UConn love from the crowd.... you think we brought fans, or that the other teams are rooting for us?

9+ hour drive from CT... i'm guessing family, girlfriends, roommates, a few die-hards and anyone that loves the underdog

 

[Dann]

I will punch that little kid in the face

#uconnbaseball should B happy 2 get out of 5th with 1 run, leading 4-1. Cross at 86 pitches, bullpen will probably have to hold ontothisone

Gotta hold 'em here to keep Uncle MoMo

 

[ATLDYKA]

Way to set them down in the 6th.

 

[21Huskies]

Penders still loves those sac bunts. ugh

good start tho. need to put a few 0's on the board to keep the momentum on our side

 

[Dann]

Is that sand sand on the field turf? Every time the ball bounces on the "grass" some kind of dust dust pops up.

that's the turf pellets from the ball impact. like when a football player drags his feet on turf

Not normally sand... Synthetic turf filler. Think little pellets.

Turf pellets?

That's what the pesky rabbit has been leaving in my front yard at night.

 

[ATLDYKA]

WOW, way to settle down and get the big out.

 

[Buffett10]

That was huge from Mahaney.

 

[Chin Diesel]

BTW, ESPN3 feed has been great for me.

 

[Jimdish255]

Little shaky there. Do we go to the pen?

Agree... Had one episode where coming back from "commercial break" they put me back to bottom of last inning. FF cleared that.

 

[Dann]

I stand corrected....

I was wrong... This is a sand based turf as opposed to synthetic (or that's what announcer just said)

 

[Chin Diesel]

I stand corrected....

White sand!!!!!!

 

[Jimdish255]

Close play at second.

 

[BugsyCT]

Nice job escaping that 7th.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Turf pellets in my yard.
