Despite another 40-victory regular season, it hasn’t been easy for UConn baseball this year. The Huskies have trailed after five innings 11 times this year and claimed victory after needing to do so on just three occasions in 2022.
The bullpen, led by Brady Afhim, Garrett Coe, Zach Fogell and Justin Willis, have been stout when they needed to be, while veterans and underclassmen alike have come through with clutch at-bats. Graduate student Luke Broadhurst and freshman Ryan Daniels each have walk-offs this season.
“The 40 guys I got are pretty darn tough,” Jim Penders said to the media following Monday’s Selection Show.
