Sullivan pitches a scoreless top of the 1st. His stuff looks hittable today but he should be able to avoid damage if he can avoid free 90's.

 

[uconnbaseball]

UConn does nothing of note in the bottom of the 1st. 0-0 score.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Sully with a quality 2nd inning. 0-0 score. Sully is at 34 pitches.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Nice at bat by Broadhurst, who works a long at bat and turns it into a single.

Morton follows up with a double. Runners on 2nd and 3rd, no outs. Daniels up.

Daniels strikes out and Hyde hits into an RBI fielder's choice. 1-0 UConn, 2 outs.

Padilla grounds out to end the inning. UMBC is playing well so far, happy we are ahead.

Broadhurst…. Single
Morton……double
Lets Go!

Sully threw an easy 3rd inning.

With 1 out, Freeberger walks and the Albino Rhino hits a double. Runners on 2nd and 3rd, one out. Broadhurst cashes them in with a 2 RBI single after Studley struck out. Morton hits a scorcher to third, which the third basemen impressively gloves but sailed the throw high enough to force the first basemen off the bag. After Morton steals 2nd with no throw, we have runners on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs. A wild pitch scores 2 runs (UMBC is not that great at baseball!) 5-0 UConn after 3 - UMBC's start is around 77 pitches.

Anyone getting audio on the video replays? The only one I've had in the past three or four home games was the one posted by the UMBC side. Joe D came through loud and clear. The UConn posts are silent, with not even background noise.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Bases loaded for UMBC with just 1 out. Some big pitches from Sully coming up vs the bottom of their order try to prevent a big inning.

A double play ends the inning with no damage! 5-0 UConn going to the bottom of the 4th.

Smith gets a "double" on a routine fly ball that gets lost in the sun. Freeberger cashes him in to take a 6-0 lead. Huber and Studley follow up with singles to make it 7-0. A broadhurst single gives UConn an 8-0 lead. Another patented 2 out rally!

Despite the score I would expect some of stalwarts of bullpen to see action to keep them on some sort of schedule. These are tough games as there is a difference in class between two programs.

You hate to sound greedy but anything less than a sweep would be ugly. Doing what they need to and taking it to UMBC.

Nice job by Sullivan today…

 

[uconnbaseball]

Sully with another pretty easy inning. He has given up some singles today but nothing earth shattering. He's also limited the walks. At 85 pitches he might be able to come out for one more, but I suspect he's done for the day.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Nothing going for UConn in the bottom of the 5th. Still 8-0 Huskies. Coe Fogell coming in.

Fogell works very quickly and strikes out the side. He's been really good the past couple of weeks.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Back to back 1 out singles by Freeberger and Huber gives UConn runners at the corners with 1 out. A double play ends the threat.

Scoreless inning for Coe. We've been very professional this series.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Good inning for Kirby, inducing weak contact. Our defense continues to impress. Going to the bottom of the 8th, UConn is up 8-0.
