Matt Garbowski coming up clutch!!

Morton had a number of misplays in CF when he was playing there while Simmons was out. That's the reason Smith is playing CF, he took over for Morton due to those misplays.

Well politely disagree… and I will leave it at that. Go Huskies!

Top 5th, UConn puts 2 runners on base. Studley with a no out RBI single. 5-0 UConn.

Dagger 2 RBI single by Garbowski, who is heating up at exactly the right time! 7-0 UConn!

Was going to just say that. While most posters here look at who isn't hitting well, Garbowski has started to turn it around. It is really hard to get all 9 hitters going good at once. But a couple of hot guys with the stick can carry a team and now it is Garbo's turn.

Kirby is giving up a lot of hard contact. Glad we're playing here and not at Xavier or Georgetown.

Good job with the shutout innings but with the pen rested, I'd go to a different reliever next inning.

At this point I'm inclined to stay with Kirby until they get a run off him.

With the UConn lead growing, I'm hoping some of the lesser used guys out of the bullpen can get some time on the mound today. We'll see what happens.

Georgetown has taken the lead vs Xavier.

Chris Jones talking about more D3 transfers coming to UConn next season. He can't mention names at this point.

As of now there are 1 D3 transfer and 3 JUCO transfers for next season that have been mentioned on the recruiting thread.

Chris Jones thinking the 10 run mercy rule may be in effect for this game (last game of a Big East series), so if Creighton doesn't score, the game might be over.
