It may be better off benching him for a weekend. I think his shoulder has really hindered him

I was wondering about that.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Zapata done already. In fairness to him it may have been a lot simpler inning but Yahn just dropped and easy chopper.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, Zapata is relieved with one out and the bases loaded. No runs in yet. Domnarski coming in.

B2: Andrew Zapata is done. 1.1 IP, 3 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 1 K and leaves with the bases loaded. 3-1 Santa Clara lead

 

[huskymedic]

Nice... just what he (they) needed.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Big DP turned.

 

[dbmill]

Domnarski gets a double play ball to get out of the inning.

 

[Baseballguy]

So many seeing eye singles. It's death by a thousand cuts right now.

 

[dbmill]

4-1 Santa Clara off a bases loaded sac fly. UConn coming to bat in the top of the 4th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

We have tons of time to mount a comeback. I am more worried about our pitching than scoring against Santa Clara midweek pitching.

Hartford swept this team last year.

At this point I'm not worried about UConn's weekend starters once Cate is back. The mid week starter(s), it looks like that is a big concern.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Gnesda has been money all year. Wish he were faster though ,__,

Need to cash one in here

[ATLDYKA]

Winkel has to make contact there. Shorten the swing.

If nobody steps up it may be better to pitch Cate and Wills 30-40 pitches each on midweek games.

 

[ATLDYKA]

There's the Toppa we know

 

[huskymedic]

All square...

 

[Baseballguy]

Agreed, luckily Toppa bailed him out.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Welcome to 2017, Toppa. 4-4.

We will score in this game...pitching needs to man up here.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Walks to start innings. Killed us last game.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Wow, just wow. All day to make a good throw there.

 

[uconnbaseball]

I would hate to see the number of errors we woukd make if we didn't lead the nation in strikeouts.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, one out, Domnarski leaves after loading the bases. Nepiarsky coming in to pitch.

And there loaded due to two walks and an error. Need to start making them earn it.

 

[ATLDYKA]

I still like Nepiarsky. Kid has good stuff, just needs confidence
