Bases loaded for Bry, let’s blow this game open!

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, after the Freeberger RBI single, UConn offense loads the bases on a hit by pitch and a walk. Pitching change. Villanova gets out of it, 5-2 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Missed a grand slam by 15 feet

 

[uconnbaseball]

Rare error by Padilla and Nova has a shot at some unearned runs here. Weather has something to do with it.

Pop up ends the inning. Nice job Sears!

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, after a 2 out walk, a throwing error on Padilla puts 2 runners in scoring position. Sears gets a pop out to get a scoreless inning. 5-2 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, UConn offense with a scoreless inning. 5-2 UConn.

Slow game on a wet day.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, after a 1 out infield error on Freeberger puts a runner at 1B, Sears comes out of the game. Ellisen takes the mound.

Sears was at 96 pitches when he came out.

First batter Ellisen faces reaches base on a single. Ellisen strikes out the next batter, and a pop out ends the inning. 5-2 UConn.

Chris Jones says it is raining harder now.

Bottom 5th, after a 1 out infield error on Freeberger puts a runner at 1B, Sears comes out of the game. Ellisen takes the mound.

Really good start from Sears despite what the numbers might say. The defense has not played up to its usual standards, with the weather playing a big role in that. I trust Sears in a regional game at this point, which is more than I can say for our remaining starters with the possible exception of Cookie.

Nice job Mr Ellisen (w/ a big assist from Mr. Freeberger)

Holy jumpin Dominic Freeberger what a catch in foul ground as Ellisen escapes!

That’s the defense that we’re used to!

Chris Jones broadcasting the game from the stands, so he is getting wet now.

Top 6th, a 1 out rbi single for Studley bringing in Simmons who had reached base on a walk, 6-2 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Base hit studley to score Smith! 6-2 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Base hit studley to score Smith! 6-2 UConn.

Nope, it was Simmons who scored. He has been getting a bunch of walks since he started playing again.

Holy jumpin Dominic Freeberger what a catch in foul ground as Ellisen escapes!

 

[hardcorehusky]

That's a tough ball in those conditions. Makes it an even better catch.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, Ellisen with a 1-2-3 inning, 6-2 UConn.

The unmatched dedicated from Jones today. Hopefully there’s a post game video with Penders to see if Jonesy is soaked

They could always do a post game interview back at the hotel, it's been done before every once in a while. I suspect it would be dry there.

Top 7th, a scoreless inning for the UConn offense, 6-2 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, after a leadoff single, with 1 out Hyde throws out a stolen base attempt. A 2 out solo homer off of Ellisen, 6-3 UConn going to the top of the 8th.

 

[dbmill]

Top 8th, Smith with a leadoff single, Simmons follows with his first hit since his return to the lineup from being hurt to put runners on the corners with no out. Freeberger with a no out sac fly, 7-3 UConn.

Chris Jones says the rain has stopped for the moment, it is not even misting.
