UConn @ Conway S. Carolina (3/5 v. Miami (OH) @ Noon, 3/6 v. Davidson College @ 10:30a, 3/7 v. Coastal Carolina @ 3p & 3/8 v. Coastal Carolina @ Noon)

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, Crawford with a no out RBI triple off the wall in center to make it 4-0.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Crawford is one of the best players in college baseball at this point.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones says Devin Kirby is out for the season, having had surgery.

 

[BaseballDog]

We need to be better than what we showed in that inning. Not being able to cash in that second run that was at third with no outs is not a great look.

 

[dbmill]

Top 7th, Casparius with a quick 1-2-3 inning. 10 strikeouts for him, and 85 pitches.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Agita free day?

Agita free day?

I would have felt better with that fifth run scoring in the bottom of the sixth. Four run lead could get eaten into fast.

 

[dbmill]

Agita free day?

This tends to be a very nervous group that shows up here no matter what the score. So for many I wouldn't count on it.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, Pat Winkel with a one out RBI double driving in Bushling who had been hit by a pitch. 5-0 UConn.

I believe last complete game was Tim Cate at DDP against ECU in 2017

Actually I am wrong 2018 Mason Feole at Cinncinati

Quite the performance by Mr. Casparius today...

 

[dbmill]

Top 8th, Casparius strands a couple runners to come up with a scoreless inning. A very nice outing for him, should be interesting to see who comes out of the bullpen for the 9th, as I would expect that with 3 more games to play this weekend that UConn would like to avoid the big guns out of the bullpen today if possible.

 

[dbmill]

Sam Favieri throwing in the bullpen.

Should be hopefully a low pressure situation for a kid to get his feet wet in college game

 

[BaseballDog]

It's nice when these games stay under 3 hours

He had an appearance at UVA

 

[dbmill]

Top 9th, UConn with a 5-0 lead, and Favieri takes the mound.

 

[BaseballDog]

One runner away from a save situation.

 

[dbmill]

Favieri starts off with 2 strikeouts, then walks the next two hitters. Favieri finally gets the final out, and UConn gets the 5-0 win!

 

[BaseballDog]

Good win. I wish all Friday night games felt that easy, good win to start the weekend. Great to save lots of pitching. Ben's first win as a Husky.

 

[huskymedic]

I’ll take a game like that everyday... 2:40 start to finish, low stress 5-0 win.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Decent enough Favieri. He will need to watch the walks in the future.
