Offense showing up to play today vs a much better starter than we saw yesterday. Nice job keep this up!

Nice call by Joe D…”Bryan sends it flyin’”.

That looked like a double play by a big league team. Freeberger and Smith are so smooth out there.

4-0 after an RBI groundout by Studley. Looks like they are reviewing the play to see if Studley was actually safe.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Smith with another leadoff double, Simmons follows with a no out walk. After both runners advance a base, Studley with an RBI ground out for the 2nd out. 4-0 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Ump has a big strikezone today. It's been consistent though.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, first 2 batters reach base on singles. A 1 out RBI single puts runners on the corners, 4-1 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Some seeing eye singles from Seton Hall. Rutgers esque.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, a 1 out walk loads the bases. Sac fly makes the score 4-2 UConn. A 2 out RBI single makes the score 4-3 with runners at the corners. Cooke comes out of the game, Ellisen comes in to pitch.

 

[ATLDYKA]

My goodness, what has happened to Cooke this year? Probably needs to be moved to mid-week starts to get right again.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Yeesh, we might have to win a shootout today.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, Ellisen gives up a walk loads the bases. An infield single with runners on the move brings in 2 runs, 5-4 Seton Hall. Another RBI single that puts runners on the corners makes it 6-4 Seton Hall. A fly out finally ends the inning.

 

[uconnbaseball]

How many seeing eye singles are they going to hit today?

I can’t remember if we ever heard what the injury that sidelined him was?

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, a no out 2 run homer for Dalena, game tied at 6.

 

[huskymedic]

That was a poke - almost cleared second fence.

 

[uconnbaseball]

So nice when your backup can do that.

Bottom 4th, a 1 out triple for Morton. Smith with a 1 out RBI infield single, 7-6 UConn. Pitching change, so it's bullpen time for both teams.

 

[uconnbaseball]

And just like that, we are back up.

Smith can kill you in so many different ways....walks, speed, power. What a leadoff hitter.

Might have, but I can't remember now either. I do remember that he got hurt around the time of the Stanford playoff game last season which affected his performance in that game. Cooke was nursing an injury during fall ball as well.
