Good performance, now we need to smash a terrible St. Joseph's pitching staff tomorrow.

Lowell creamed Notre Dame today and has generally hit the ball well all year. They are probably at least as good as Stetson, and definitely better than WMU and St. Joes.

Coach Penders says that the 20 strikeouts by UConn pitchers tonight ties a team record held by Charles Nagy. Nice!

Predicting another great game from Gnesda.

Krueger makes an error on a pop fly to allow a baserunner on (it is apparently windy but c'mon...) but we pull a double play immediately afterwards.

Chris Jones says Krueger slipped, which allowed the ball to fall in. It was ruled a hit. Anyway, Feole also allows a walk but gets out of the bottom of the 1st pretty easily.

2nd and 3rd with one out and we don't score vs. Cy Vanderslice and his 16.50 ERA.

It took the team time to get rolling yesterday but these stranded runners are getting frustrating.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Incidentally, Feole is dealing.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom of the 2nd, Feole allows a double but gets the rest of the side easily. Two strikeouts for Feole that inning, he now has three for the game.

We continue to not hit one of the worst weekend starters in college baseball. For some reason, this team can only hit adequate starters.

 

[dbmill]

Feole gets the side in order in the bottom of the 3rd, adding another strikeout. I would say he is solidifying his Sunday starter role.

 

[dbmill]

Still scoreless after four innings.

Broke the seal...

 

[uconnbaseball]

Moriarity was awesome that inning. 1-0 UConn going to the 6th.

 

[dbmill]

UConn picks up a run in the 5th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

2-0 after a hard hit ball by Prato + sac fly by Susi. I am not sure how that gets ruled an error while their eefus pop flies are base hits.

Fantastic heads-up base running by Prato.

It was definitely an error. The kid had it in his glove and dropped it

 

[uconnbaseball]

Two awesome defensive plays by Gnesda and Krueger this inning! 2 outs and Feole, who finally started to tire, is taken out. Good decision by Penders IMO, and a nice outing by Feole.
