No. 23 UConn baseball completed its regular season on Friday with a doubleheader split against No. 10 ECU. The Pirates took Game 1 6-3 before the Huskies were victorious in Game 2, 4-2.
The early game was characterized by a plethora of opportunities for the Huskies that they couldn’t cash in on.
UConn’s leadoff batter reached base in five of the first six innings, but only two of them crossed the plate as the home side left six runners on from the second to the sixth innings.
“We want to try and add pressure early in the game, but their pitchers did a good job all weekend at keeping us off balance,” left fielder John Toppa said.
