It’s not often that a series is won or lost on a Friday night, but that’s exactly what happened for UConn baseball this weekend at Butler. UConn overcame sloppy defensive play, a scuttling offense, and a three-run late-inning deficit to take game one of this series 8-7 on its way to a sweep of the Bulldogs.
“It comes down to believing you can get it done,” head coach Jim Penders said.
In the later innings, the sloppy play started to work in the Huskies’ favor, culminating in an inside-the-park home run from David Smith to put the Huskies ahead for the final time.
