[MEDIA=twitter]1539355567512334336[/MEDIA] -> There was a report last week connecting Penders with the opening at Michigan, and he was contacted Saturday, but by then talks with UConn were nearly complete and it went no further. The new contract runs until July 2027 and will pay Penders a $350,000 base salary per year with bonus clauses. Also, Penders’ staff, coaches Jeff Hourigan and Josh MacDonald, got raises. Along with volunteer assistant Chris Podeswa, it’s the longest-tenured staff in NCAA Division I. “Jim leads the longest-tenured coaching staff in the sport through hard work, dedication, and class,” Benedict said. “And I look forward to Jim, Jeff, Josh and Chris continuing to serve as outstanding role models for the young men who don the ‘Hook C’ for many years to come. The 2022 UConn baseball season was exciting and the future is even brighter with Jim and his staff continuing to lead the program.” <- [/QUOTE]
