In what was its second pitcher’s duel in two days, Seton Hall defeated UConn by a final score of 3-2 Saturday. Pirate starter Cullen Dana dominated, allowing just one run in 7 2/3 innings pitched. UConn starter Wills Montgomerie was not far behind, giving up two runs over six innings.
Dana, a sophomore, was named a Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American last season but has struggled to recapture that dominating form early on this season. Through five starts, the lefty had an uncharacteristically high ERA of 4.05. However, Dana wounded into form in due time.
In what was his best outing of the young season, Dana worked through the UConn lineup, giving up just one run and lowering his ERA to 3.
