UConn baseball’s bats got the memo after a three-hit performance on Friday, as eight Huskies got into the hit column, four of which did so multiple times, slugging their way to a 9-6 win over Florida A&M in an elimination game in the Gainesville Regional on Saturday.
The game got off to a better start than Friday, though the Huskies left some runs on the table early in the contest. Dominic Freeberger reached with a single and Ben Huber, who was 3-for-4 on the day, drilled a double off the base of the left field wall in the first, but head coach Jim Penders sent Freeberger home to try and score from first and he was cut down at the plate to keep it scoreless after one-half inning.
