Men #10 UConn @ Villanova Wildcats (Sat. 4/29/23 Doubleheader starting @1130 & Sun. 4/30/23 *Cancelled*. Games on FloSports & Mixlr

[dbmill]

Top 1st, UConn offense with a scoreless inning after a 2 out walk. No score.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Worst case scenario for Huber: back by Big East tournament.

Best scenario: Back by the Butler series.

Good news.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones on Ben Huber, worst case scenario he will be back for the Big East tournament, but he could be back a couple weeks before that.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 1st, 2 run homer for Villanova, 2-0.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Bad news: Villanova hits a 2 run bomb in the bottom of the first. Really poor first inning vs. a lousy team. Still lots of time.

 

[Jimdish255]

These FloSports Homers are screaming like kids at the checkout line.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Won't go down as 2 unearned runs, but it should. Have to catch a pop up.

Well, there are the Villanova announcers/media feed.

Top 2nd, UConn offense loads the bases with no outs. With 1 out, Morton drives in 2 runs with a single to tie the game at 2.

 

[Hookknows]

Korey Morton … Jonzy says he is batting over 400 in last 10 at bats! We need Kpower ! 2-2

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones says Ryan Hyde will be honored on Senior Day, but he does still have 2 years of eligibility left if he chooses to use them.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, after a 1 out single, the runner is picked off for the second out. Sears faces the minimum. Game tied at 2.

 

[Bomber36]

Worst case scenario for Huber: back by Big East tournament.

Best scenario: Back by the Butler series.

Good news.

As long as we keep winning a well rested Huber is great news. He’ll be chomping at the bit.

 

[dbmill]

Korey Morton … Jonzy says he is batting over 400 in last 10 at bats! We need Kpower ! 2-2

Both Morton and Padilla have been bringing their offensive production up of late, and it does show in their rising batting averages and on base percentages, and other stats.

 

[Bomber36]

Chris Jones says Ryan Hyde will be honored on Senior Day, but he does still have 2 years of eligibility left if he chooses to use them.

Hope he stays…always good to have experience behind the dish.

 

[Jimdish255]

Way inside strike 3 on Frieberger

It might depend a little bit on whether or not he gets some scholarship money among other things.

 

[Bomber36]

It might depend a little bit on whether or not he gets some scholarship money among other things.

That’s understandable.

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, with 1 out, UConn offense puts 2 runners on base with walks. A double steal by UConn, the throw by the catcher is wild and went into center field, and a run (Studley) scores. 3-2 UConn. A sac fly by Padilla, 4-2 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Up 4-2 after an error and sac fly. Nice rebound from that ugly first inning.

 

[Shortking98]

The conditions are ugly today but so far UConn has been very disciplined in staying focused, grinding through at bats. Chris Jones has mentioned this a few times and I agree. On days like today staying focused and grinding through a potentially sloppy game will be key.

 

[huskymedic]

I still say… a mic’d Coach McDonald would be worth any price of admission/streaming!

 

[CtBaseball]

Sheesh. Glad we got through that.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Sears gets the first 2 outs, then Villanova loads the bases on a single and 2 walks. Sears gets a strikeout to get out of the inning. 4-2 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, Freeberger with a 2 out rbi single to drive in Smith who reached base on an infield single and stole 2B. 5-2 UConn.
