UConn @ Sam Houston State Bearkats (Fri. 4/26 @7:30p ET, Sat 4/27 @4:00p ET & Sun 4/28 @Noon ET)

Top 2nd, UConn again goes down quickly in order.

 

[HawkHusky]

5 pitches in the first. 8 pitches in the second...

 

[Bomber36]

There must only be 4 of us watching the game....

 

[Bomber36]

5 pitches in the first. 8 pitches in the second...

Oy!

 

[dbmill]

Feole having a lot of trouble throwing strikes out of the stretch tonight, walking a hitter after giving up a one out hit by pitch in the bottom of the 2nd. Gets the next two hitters to get out of the 2nd inning.

The Sam Houston State preview article that @huskymedic has in his preview at the beginning of this thread mentions that the Bearkats are also having lots of trouble getting hits with runners in scoring position lately.

 

[HawkHusky]

Winkel starts the 3rd with a 1 pitch fly out. Come on guys. Pathetic.

 

[HawkHusky]

A patient Langer walks. But that's it for the 3rd.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Offense is still not producing. SHSU is known for offense, not for lock down arms.

 

[scotty0330]

The camera work is the worst I can ever remember. I will be sick at the end of watching this.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, two out single brings in a run for Sam Houston State. 1-0 the score, 2 outs, runners at the corners. Fly out to Woodworth ends the inning.

 

[HawkHusky]

Lucky to only be down 1 after 3. Unfortunately, I don't know if we have the bats to overcome this deficit...

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, another UConn 1-2-3 inning.

 

[dbmill]

Through 5 innings, the UConn offense consists of 2 walks. Still looking for their first hit.

 

[HawkHusky]

Forget today's tornado warning. Sound the No Hitter alarm!

 

[uconnbaseball]

It really is incredible that this is the same team that was fine offensively vs. UL and bombed away against MSU.

 

[Bomber36]

It’s been talked about all year....they don’t like to work the count. In softball, no one wants to walk....in hardball, it’s a good thing.

 

[dbmill]

1-2-3 5th inning with 2 strikeouts for Feole.

It’s in their heads now... they have to fight their way out of it. It’s in their hands (or bats).

... and this is my first post since the game began - so I’m clearly not the jinx.

And this I’d the FIRST game I’ve watched, so it can’t be me! Been a busy spring...lots of travel.

Funny thing, if you take a look at the stats, only UConn player who doesn't walk much is Chris Winkel, and he is way below average. The others are in the neighborhood of at least 1 walk every 10 at bats, which is a pretty decent ratio. Also, from looking at the stats this team walks quite a bit more than last year's team. That is, except for Chris Winkel, who is walking less than last season.

Top 6th, UConn has runners on the corners with 2 out. Christian Fedko up. Still no hits for UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Fedko double brings in 2 runs!! 2-1 UConn.

 

[Bomber36]

Sweet!

 

[HawkHusky]

No tornado. No no-hitter. All is well.

 

[huskymedic]

The Fedko Brothers!!
