Remember, Hague injured his hand, I think it was during a practice session before the Xavier series. For a while he could not play the field or hit, but he was used for pinch running. Last night he took over at second base after Christian Fedko got hurt. It may be that Hague has been cleared to play the field, but not yet to hit. Or it may be that they are that unimpressed with Hague's bat these days. Which to me is something, after hearing how good he was on the offensive side of the game during fall ball. Things really turned around there. I would expect if UConn has a lead somewhere in the middle innings or later, Hague could very well find himself on the field as a defensive replacement, something that could happen earlier in the game if he has been cleared to hit.
