THE WINKEL BROTHERS!!! 2 HRs in the inning!!

 

[UConNick]

That’s got to be awesome for the family, both brothers go deep in the same darn inning. Love to see it!

All three Amity kids have scored

Amity offense gets some amenities for UConn.

Bottom 3rd, Casparius with a 1-2-3 inning.

 

[BaseballDog]

27 pitches thru 3 for Ben

 

[businesslawyer]

USM broadcaster said he got word the ball was indeed caught AND Stock failed to tag up. Why he ended up back at first is a mystery. A break for the good guys we unfortunately didn’t do anything with.

It was hardly a good camera angle, and they never showed a replay, but it looked as if he caught it. It certainly was in his glove before he started falling and as soon as he hit the ground he was throwing it from his back (why he didn't get up I'll never know -- that's what allowed Hague to score) but again, either Stock tagged and he should be at second or it should have been a DP. But I literally can't even think of an interpretation by which Stock went back to first.

First hit for Maycock

 

[BaseballDog]

Aside from crawford our lefties are doing well at the plate today.

 

[dbmill]

First hit for Maycock

A little less painful I'm sure than the three hit by pitches for Maycock last weekend.

 

[dbmill]

3-1 UConn going to the bottom of the 4th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Going to the bottom of the 4th, 3-1 UConn. Middle of the order coming up for USM.

What is up with this music on WHUS?

What is up with this music on WHUS?

No doubt the choice of music is up to the studio engineer. As far as I'm concerned they can play whatever they want as long as they show up and get the games on air, especially in this pandemic season that pretty much keeps the WHUS studios closed.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, Casparius strands two runners on base, gets two strikeouts which gives him 3 on the game. He is at 46 pitches. 3-1 UConn.

 

[businesslawyer]

Do we know if Marerro and/or Willis are travelling with the team and in the bullpen this weekend?

 

[uconnbaseball]

46 pitches through 4 innings is fantastic. Keep it up Ben!

St. John’s snuck by UMass Lowell today, while Creighton is destroying Lipscomb 9-3

 

[dbmill]

Do we know if Marerro and/or Willis are travelling with the team and in the bullpen this weekend?

I don't think Chris Jones has mentioned it yet. I suspect he'll get around to it at some point.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones says Zach Bushling missing this game due to a team rule violation. Should be available to play tomorrow.

Andy Hague with 2 hits and a run scored on the game in Bushling's place.

 

[businesslawyer]

I don't think Chris Jones has mentioned it yet. I suspect he'll get around to it at some point.

I don't understand why the UConn press release for a weekend series can't tell us who the travelling roster for the weekend is. It's not like they don't have to tell the other team.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Hague stranded at 2nd. Going to the bottom of the 6th up 3-1

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, Hague stranded at 2B after stealing the base. 3-1 UConn. USM starting pitcher at 75 pitches.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, Casparius walks the first two batters on 9 pitches. Haus runs down to the bullpen to warm up.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Walking their 8 and 9 hitters, who have really struggled, is not a recipe for success. Big strikeout there though.

 

[dbmill]

After a Casparius strikeout, a one out double scores a run for USM to make it 3-2. Runners at 2nd and 3rd.
