Now Prato's pegging himself. Poor kid can't catch a break.

Top 3rd, UConn gets a run on a 2 out passed ball. Toppa reaches first on the strikeout passed ball. 1-0 UConn.

That works... any way, any how.

He’s a St. John’s basketball fan....pain is a way of life

Bottom 3rd, easy 1-2-3 inning for Wang. 1-0 UConn.

Wang on fire. 1-0 UConn after 3 innings played.

Bottom 4th, Wang strands 2 runners on base. He's at 54 pitches. 1-0 UConn.

Confidence has to be climbing...

... now for a few amenities.

 

[uconnbaseball]

One of Jimmy's fastballs clocked in a 92. Not bad, considering he is stretched out (as a reliever he is typically 94ish).

Wang is doing quite well. 1 walk through 4 innings, which is great considering he has shown control issues in previous appearances.

 

[uconnbaseball]

1st and 3rd, 1 out. Offense is picking up and this is the 3rd time through the order.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, bases loaded, 1 out. Gozzo pinch hitting for Pat Winkel. Winkel hasn't looked good against the lefty pitcher.

 

[CL82]

Wang on fire.

Chuckle.

 

[dbmill]

Gozzo single brings in a run. 2-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Line drive double play ends the inning. 2-0 UConn going to the bottom of the 5th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

MSU got lucky there - they left their pitcher in too long, but a line drive double play ends the inning. Damn.

2-0 going to the bottom of the 5th.

 

[HawkHusky]

Ugh. Should have been more there. Not as patient today at the plate.

 

[kris1]

Wang on fire.

Sounds like a personal problem. There’s an ointment for that.

 

[dbmill]

Ugh. Should have been more there. Not as patient today at the plate.

Might have something to do with a Michigan State pitcher throwing strikes, a big change from the first three games.

Gozzo single brings in a run. 2-0 UConn.

Really love having 3 quality catchers....

Eh... Jonesy said they've been chasing all game.

 

[dbmill]

Eh... Jonesy said they've been chasing all game.

Oops, missed that.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, two out single brings in a run for Michigan State. 2-1 UConn. Wang coming out, still, an excellent start for him. Have to think coaching staff is thrilled he almost got through 5 innings.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Nice outing by Jimmy!

 

[dbmill]

Colby Dunlop coming in. A little surprised at that, but I expect that we will see plenty of Gardner and Wallace later in the game.
