WSU vs. UConn - AAC Tournament

[Aargh]

2 walks, wild pitch, HBP, bases juiced, no outs. Cleanup hitter up.

Followed by GIDP and a run scored.

[Play Angry]

1-0 UConn to the bottom of the 1st, Shocks fortunate to avoid a much worse outcome.

Hopefully the bats are warmed up this afternoon.

[Cdizzle]

3 walks and an HBP in the 1st, but UConn only manages 1 run. That's alright. Probably the bigger negative is that Heuer had to throw 30 pitches.

[ShockerFever]

Giving up runs without allowing a hit is rarely ideal.

We’ll see if the UConn pitcher has any issues with the mound.

[1972Shocker]

Shocks trailing by only 1 after what transpired in the top of the first is about as good as it could get.

3 walks and an HBP in the 1st, but UConn only manages 1 run. That's alright. Probably the bigger negative is that Heuer had to throw 30 pitches.

Pitch count is overrated if said pitcher can’t find the zone anyways.

[Cdizzle]

Fair. Are you watching? I think there was something legitimately wrong with the mound. He was still rather wild after that was resolved.

[ShockerFever]

Nope. Still at work. Just listening.

I know there was an issue but I dunno, seems like it was kinda overblown.

I guess it got fixed because the UConn pitcher had zero issues.

[Cdizzle]

There was a ton of loose soil on the surface. They removed a bunch of it and got it wetted down the 2nd time they came out. He was clearly pitching normally after that. Now, he was still somewhat wild.

[Play Angry]

lol fatass umpire robs Bohm of an extra base on that single, good grief.

[Cdizzle]

Wow. Bohm got screwed by a bad bounce off the ump at 3rd. That thing was going to rattle around in the LF corner, but instead ended up in shallow left for a single.

Troutwine walks.

[Play Angry]

UConn starter laboring in the first as well, struggling with control. 20 pitches and counting.

[Cdizzle]

Croft down looking on a slider a foot inside.

[Play Angry]

That was a Glavine-at-his-peak strike zone, wow.

Would have required a cricket swing to hit it.

[Cdizzle]

Not like it was one of those that hit the glove like he was aiming there, either. Catcher almost had to move to block it.

[Kel Varnsen]

That pitch was so far inside, it checked Croft for a hernia.

[DUShock]

Seeing Croft take a hanging curve strike three for the third out is maddening!

[Cdizzle]

Hanging off his knee

[Cdizzle]

New plan for Heuer: Throw fastballs down the middle.

He got 3 fly balls to center on them in the 2nd.

[Play Angry]

Nice bounceback by Codi in the 2nd, 1-2-3 on 10 pitches.

1-0 UConn to B2.

[Kel Varnsen]

Our outfielders practicing some synchronized running back to the dugout after the third out.

[Cdizzle]

Got a called strike 3 back there....

Cadena with a leadoff 8-hopper up the middle for a single
