UConn Baseball and AAC Conference Tourney - 1st Game Wednesday v. Tulane

[ATLDYKA]

Cross just hits another batter with bases loaded. Cross has hit a wall in this season. He has struggled here down the stretch. Not the same pitcher as early in the year.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Cross limits extra damage. 2-0 going to bottom of 2nd.

JDD makes up for yesterday o-fer. Few more need to pick up Cross and team now.

B2 | DUFF SMASH!!! Joe DeRoche-Duffin with an absolute MISSILE over the left field wall and#UConn cuts the lead to 2-1. #BleedBlue

 

[ATLDYKA]

Deroche-Duffin goes yard. 2-1 after two. Sounds like Husky nation is representing there. Loud after the homer. Glad they gave them something to cheer about.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Nice 1,2,3 inning for Cross in the 3rd.

Nice 1,2,3 inning for Cross in the 3rd.

11 straight retired through 5... finding the groove.

 

[ATLDYKA]

We have 1 big hit thru 5 innings. Wow our offense is just clicking again.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Cross has really settled down. Hope we don't waste another good pitching performance.

 

[Stainmaster]

Sundberg with a nice double to lead off the 6th. Let's not strand him, maybe?

ATLDYKA has been dogging Penders all year for getting runners thrown out @ home and now he's gun-shy!!!

I was thinking the same thing. How does our fastest runner not score from second on a flare down the right field line? Well he scored so I guess all is good. 2-2

 

[ATLDYKA]

Come on Penders, why in the world do you have Yahn trying to steal. Out by 5 steps.

 

[ATLDYKA]

And now Testani walks. Lets just give them outs

 

[ATLDYKA]

And another walk. Sure glad we gave them that out with Yahn trying to steal. Didn't realize Yahn had new found speed.

 

[Stainmaster]

Very questionable call on that 3-1 pitch.

 

[Stainmaster]

Clutch eye by Siena -- RBI walk to give us a 3-2 lead.

Hey - you were the one chiding him to try something new yesterday to shake things up... stop giving him advise and we'll be fine

Having a slow guy try to steal a base was not what I had in mind.

 

[huskymedic]

Sigh...

 

[ATLDYKA]

And the lead is gone just like that.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Okay guys let's end it here in the bottom of the 9th.

 

[Stainmaster]

Granted this may not be too likely, but I would feel much better about our chances to win this game if this were Ruotolo's last inning.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Brings in Kay? I know you need to win or it doesn't matter but this is surprising.

 

[Stainmaster]

Well here's a surprise...Kay in relief.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Gets out of it quick, so if we can finish it off here he probably still comes back with him tomorrow.
