(Having issues w/ using Outlook to convert NH Register/CT Post/Hearst articles lately).

-> This is why Chris Winkel returned to UConn for a fifth year.

To help christen the Huskies’ beautiful new, on-campus ballpark with a 16-1 home record. To homer on the same day as his younger brother, Pat, four times, while playing a virtual leapfrog with him for the team lead in home runs.

To help UConn win a Big East regular-season title in its first year back in the league, as the Huskies won their last seven games and nine of their last 10 after outscoring Seton Hall 48-11 in a four-game sweep over the weekend.

And ultimately, to achieve even bigger team goals after that, starting with this week’s Big East tournament in Mason, Ohio.

“This is exactly, to a tee, what it was all about,” Chris Winkel said. “The team (accomplishments), more than anything. Off to a rough start, but then to come together, breaking this place (Elliot Ballpark) in was phenomenal, and kind of breaking it in the right way — that’s what it’s all about.” <-

Really fun and inspiring stuff. I hadn't followed our club before this season, and having two duos of brothers on the lineup stuck out immediately. Glad to see Chris Wink turn into such an advanced catcher and captain. Here's to him leading the Huskies to a strong post-season run!
