Bottom 3rd, sac fly brings in an unearned run (Moriarty error on the lead off hitter) for Louisville to make it 1-0. Kersten doing well so far.

Kersten pitching very well. Keep it up!

It only takes one big inning...

 

[dbmill]

Unrelated note anyone know what ever happened to Michael Yarin? Last thing I remember he was having second second thoughts about playing baseball instead of football (instead of baseball).

Yarin did not make the final roster. I know he had surgery for an injury over the summer, so recovering from the surgery probably didn't help him out in fall ball.

Chris Jones just gave a very positive report on Mason Feole. Best case scenario seems to be having back for the Coastal Carolina tournament in the third weekend of the season. Whatever the case, UConn is not rushing him back.

Bottom 4th, Kersten strands two runners on base. 1-0 Louisville. 65 pitches for Kersten.

Nice inning

Bottom 5th, Pat Winkel throws out another base stealer for the second out of the inning.

 

[HawkHusky]

Pat Winkel is special.

 

[dbmill]

Kersten gets out of the 5th inning. He hit 2 batters and walked 1 that inning, so a little shaky. Keep an eye on him for the 6th. Game still tied at 1.

 

[HawkHusky]

Fantastic outing by Kersten so far. Very impressed.

 

[HawkHusky]

Fedko with the double!!

 

[Guapo]

oh no, Pat

 

[dbmill]

Pat Winkel reaches base on an infield single, comes out of the game with an injury. Mike Chiovitti pinch runs.

 

[HawkHusky]

oh boy... UCONN injury woes cross all sports. Ugh!

 

[dbmill]

Moriarty sac fly scores Fedko to make it 2-1 UConn in the top of the 6th. 2 outs.

 

[HawkHusky]

Nice job guys!

 

[Guapo]

Awww man, sounds like Louisville made a great catch. BUT UConn takes the lead.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Playing some very nice baseball. I would go to the pen here...hope Pat is okay!!!

 

[dbmill]

Paul Gozzo in to catch the bottom of the 6th. Kersten still in.
