Game works fine on my laptop.

 

[dbmill]

Feole gives up a lead off homer in the 4th.

 

[HawkHusky]

Time for some bats.

 

[dbmill]

Susi is out of the game. Glove hand got hit by the bat on catcher's interference. Kenny Bergmann comes in to catch. Phillips stays at DN]H.

 

[HawkHusky]

Can't catch a break with injuries this year.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Injuries have been brutal.

Cincy is friggin annoying...they are every year.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Offense making the very average JT Perez look filthy.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones says Tim Cate out until early May, Rossomando out for a couple of weeks.

Yup. Game of his career... SMH

 

[dbmill]

Kenny Bergmann throws out a base stealer to end the bottom of the 6th.

Feole has 10 strikeouts, 1 walk, 5 hits, 85 pitches, 1 run given up on the homer. 1-0 Cincinnati.

 

[HawkHusky]

Cincinnati playing like an Omaha team...

 

[dbmill]

Perez is having a terrific night against a UConn team that has been hitting very well of late. Perez is by far Cincinnati's best starter, so let's save the Omaha comparisons until after the weekend is over.

Feole having an excellent game as well, has a 1-2-3 7th inning, is now up to 12 strikeouts. Only blemish is the homer, he is at 96 pitches.

Not saying Cincinnati is an Omaha team. Saying UCONN batting is making Cincinnati look like an Omaha team. Big difference.

 

[dbmill]

1-0 Cincy going to the bottom of the 8th. UConn offense has 4 hits, 2 walks, 1 hit by pitch on the night.

 

[HawkHusky]

Career high strike-outs for the Perez...

Career high strike-outs for the Perez...

Perez has been rather efficient tonight. He is at 102 pitches. He'll certainly start the top of the 9th.

 

[dbmill]

This is also the quickest UConn game in quite some time. I've been getting used to close to 4 hour games from them.

I'd call it a combination of efficient pitching and poor at-bats.

LOL. Never thought I'd prefer a 4 hour game...

 

[dbmill]

1-2-3 8th inning for Feole. New career high of 14 strikeouts.

 

[HawkHusky]

Feole's been exceptional.

 

[dbmill]

Double play ends the game, Cincinnati and Perez wins 1-0. 1 hour 52 minutes, I believe that is what Chris Jones said.

 

[dbmill]

Big question is what happens with Zac Susi tomorrow and the games that follow. That's a big bat that might be missing from the lineup.

 

[huskymedic]

Rough game... gotta give Perez credit

 

[HawkHusky]

Couldn't have asked anything more from Feole. Surprising at-bats considering the run they've been on. The Susi injury is very troubling. Hopefully it's nothing too serious.
