UConn @ Memphis (4/29@4p, 4/30@3p & 5/1@2p)

[Baseballguy]

What a gift

 

[dbmill]

Penders pulls out the dead duck play, and it actually works. UConn takes the lead 9-8.

 

[Baseballguy]

Good thing Memphis can't stop throwing up all over themselves

 

[Baseballguy]

I know that strike out went in our favor but the home plate ump has been extremely inconsistent with his strike zone. Both side have been in his ear all day

 

[dbmill]

Polonia gets a 1-2-3 inning in the bottom of the 7th. Perhaps UConn bullpen normalcy has returned.

T8: #UConn 10, Memphis 8
@WillyYahn ropes a ball off the wall, scoring Sundberg. Huskies have scored 10-plus in back-to-back games. #HookC

 

[uconnbaseball]

Based loaded, 1 out, 10-8 lead. Feeling much better about this game but we really should get at LEAST 2 more this inning.

 

[dbmill]

Huskies pick up two insurance runs in the top of the 8th to make it 11-8. This game is simply nutty.

 

[uconnbaseball]

11-9, Hill failed to make a play at 2nd base and Polonia botches a throw to first base that leads to that run scoring.

 

[dbmill]

Ruotolo picks up the last out in the 8th.

Penders should DH Susi today

Horrible strike 3 call by the umpire. Looks like we're not going to get a reprieve from another bad game by the umps.

 

[dbmill]

I think I just heard Chris Jones say that Darras may have suffered a rotator cuff injury, so he isn't available to pitch.

Montgomerie sounds good in the 1st inning putting down the Tigers in order.

I walked away for a moment: That stings if true... decent depth but arms are arms.

 

[dbmill]

Double play started by Aaron Hill gets Montgomerie out of some trouble in the 2nd.

END 4: Memphis 2, #UConn 0
Tigers strike first after two singles, a sac bunt, RBI groundout and E2. Gnesda gets it going in the T5. #HookC

 

[dbmill]

After the troublesome 4th inning, Montgomerie has an easy time putting down Memphis in order in the 5th. 2-0 Memphis.

Urgh...

MID 6: Memphis 2, #UConn 0
Huskies can't capitalize with the bases loaded. Montgomerie (63 pitches) back out for the B6. #BleedBlue

 

[dbmill]

Montgomerie is driven from the game in the 6th, and Memphis picks up another run. 3-0 Tigers.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Nice rally, might be too little too late though. We have no midweek games this week so we should expend all possible resources to avoid a bad loss on the road.

3-2 Memphis.

ugh a lightning delay

 

[dbmill]

It seems the UConn offense has been threatening all game, but leaving runners on base left and right. They finally score two in the seventh and are still at bat, before a rain/lightning puts a temporary halt to the proceedings.
