No. 9 UConn baseball came out on top against Seton Hall in a wild series opener, pleasing a rowdy Friday night crowd with a 10-7 comeback victory.
Down five runs after two and a half innings, the Huskies refused to quit, scoring twice in the bottom of the third and putting up a six-spot in the bottom of the fourth to take the lead right back from their opponents from New Jersey.
The Pirates looked poised to run away with the game early on, putting up five runs in the top of the third inning. Starting pitcher Andrew Sears’ outing ended after 2 1⁄3 frames and he was responsible for all seven of the Seton Hall runs scored, including a three-run homer from big-hitting Staus Poprovsky.
