Luke Broadhurst is now getting a bunch of playing time at 3B for UConn. Of course, Padilla has pretty much settled in as the regular at 2B with Daniels out for the season.

Delana heating up…

Delana heating up…

It looks like a number of UConn hitters are heating up along with Dalena. The rest of the season could be interesting in a good way, but we'll see.

Chris Jones says that next season UConn will play Maine in a 3 game weekend series at the end of the regular season. Originally, Oklahoma State was to play at UConn that weekend in a 3 game series, but the series was cancelled due to Big 12 conference realignment.

Bottom 3rd, Studley leads off the inning with a solo homer, 10-2 UConn. With 1 out, Tammaro gets on base with a walk, and then steals 2B and 3B.

Padilla walks to load the bases again, Tammaro follows with an RBI infield single, 16-2 UConn.

Jack Sullivan coming in to pitch to top of the 4th for UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones wondering if the 10 run mercy rule is in effect for this game, as it was around for the game yesterday. Guess we'll find out in the 7th inning if UConn maintains this big lead.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, Sullivan has a scoreless inning leaving 2 runners on base. 16-2 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

They really needed an outing like this…

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, Hyde comes in to catch, and Alejandro comes in to pitch.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, Alejandro has a 1-2-3 inning, 19-2 UConn.

This is one game where we could see some UConn pitchers who have not gotten much time on the mound in games this season.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, Kron pinch hits for Morton. UConn offense goes down in order. 19-2 UConn.

Top 6th, Tom Turner comes in to pitch.

 

[dbmill]

Finnegan gets a fly out to end the inning. 19-2 UConn.
