Bottom 1st, Gallagher with a quick 1-2-3 inning. No score.

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, Simmons with a lead off single, he is stranded at 2B. No score.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, an FIU batter reaches on a 1 out error by Padilla, followed by a 2 out single. Gallagher strands two runners in scoring position. No score.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Let’s see what Padila can do at the plate. 2nd audition for him.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Smith not getting down a bunt may wind up costing us a run this inning. Two singles have been sandwiched between smith’s K.

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, Padilla with a leadoff single, Bushling follows with a 1 out single. Stock with an RBI single to make it 1-0 UConn. Dana with an RBI double, 2-0 UConn with 1 out with 2 runners in scoring position.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Offense continues to hit for average. 2-0 good guys with hopefully more to come.

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, UConn loads the bases, Fedko with a 2 out walk brings in another run. 3-0 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Fedko the rbi master with a great at bat to walk in the 3rd run. Continue the rally young guys!

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, the stat tracker is messed up, doesn't look like we'll have the pitch count working for Gallagher tonight. They are missing the second inning pitches for him.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Padilla really struggling with the glove today. FIU has a 2 out rally going.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Gallagher retires the first 2 batters. Padilla with a 2 out error for his second error of the game. Gallagher strands 2 runners on base. 3-0 UConn. Huber with a solid play to save a run from scoring and to end the inning.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Huber picks up Padilla with a gold glove play! Still 3-0 in the 4th, time for Padilla to atone for his error at the plate with his hot bat.

No walks for Pat today.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Padilla 2/2 at the plate tonight after another single. Love it! FIU starter is approaching 70 pitches so it looks like we will get into their terrible bullpen pretty soon.

Smith fails to get another bunt down. Very frustrating.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Dana makes FIU pay for walking Stock with a 2 rbi double! 5-0 huskies!

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, Padilla and Smith start the inning with singles. Dana with a 2 out rbi double scores 2 runs to make it 5-0 UConn. Pitching change.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, Simmons with a 2 out rbi double. 6-0 UConn.

 

[huskymedic]

Top 4th, Simmons with 2 out rbi double. 6-0 UConn.

Crooked numbers…

 

[uconnbaseball]

Huber struggling a bit again at the plate, but given his awesome defense and ability to take walks I'd still say he's been a nice addition to the team. 6-0 going to the bottom of the 4th.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, Gallagher with a scoreless inning, faces the minimum after a line drive double play ends the inning. Gallagher with no walks and 3 strikeouts on the game so far. 6-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, Garbowski with a 1 out single but that is it for the UConn offense that inning. 6-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, a leadoff solo homer for FIU. 6-1 UConn. Gallagher gets the next 3 batters out in order. He has done well today so far.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Nice recovery by Gallagher. Hope he can give up 1 or 2 more good innings, then he can turn it over to a rested bullpen.

Ideally we score a couple more and don't have to use Willis again, leaving him available for Sunday if needed.

Always interested to see who will come out of the UConn bullpen, especially after the Friday night game.

Top 6th, UConn goes down in order. 6-1 Huskies.
