With an offense as dangerous as the Wake Forest’s a game isn’t over until all 27 outs have been recorded, which UConn baseball learned in its NCAA Tournament opener.
The Huskies were up 7-2 headed into the bottom of the seventh inning of the opening game of the College Park Regional before Wake Forest erased the lead with a four-run eighth. However, UConn came back and scored again in the ninth to take an 8-7 victory over the Demon Deacons and move to the winner’s bracket.
“There’s no panic in our dugout,” head coach Jim Penders said.
