Holy cow, Tucker Tubbs (Memphis 1B) has 12 homeruns and is slugging .694

Despite that, UConn's team SLG and OBP are 10 and 41 points (respectively) higher than that of Memphis..

Doesn't look like their staff is full of strikeout guys (6.3 K/9) but their walk rate is very good at 2.5 BB/9. Hope UConn's offense is ready to swing because it would seem these guys pitch to contact.

Just received a 2 run gift from Memphis. CF tried to come from Center and catch a high fly ball in Left and ended up dropping it.

Cross will be hard pressed to go much deeper into this game. He's throwing a lot of pitches as he's having issues with his command today.

Deroche Duffin goes deep to right for a 2 run shot. 6-1 after 5. 4 RBI's on the day.
Only way your getting it out today is to right. Wind is gusting that way.

Cross gives us 7 and up 6-1. I think this would be a great spot to bring in a Napeirsky and see what he can give us.

9-1 now for Huskies in the bottom of the 7th. Devin Over has been warming up in the bullpen during the 7th, but with the big lead someone else could potentially come in.

With the 9 run lead, Sam Nepiarsky comes in to pitch the 8th.

Easy 1-2-3 inning for Nepiarsky in the 8th. Hope he stays in for the 9th.

1-2-3 9th inning for Nepiarsky. UConn wins 10-1. Chris Jones on WHUS doing heavy speculation on Nepiarsky seeing a bigger relief role for the rest of the season. If Nepiarsky and Over can become regular late game bullpen contributors, that would be huge.
