UConn baseball’s nuclear hot streak to start the 2022 season continued this weekend with a dismantling of FIU, eking out a 4-2 win on Friday, but earning 9-1 and 15-0 victories on Saturday and Sunday, moving to 8-1 on the year and extending their win streak to seven games.
The Huskies out-hit FIU 42-18 in a thorough domination bolstered by a solid team pitching performance. The usual suspects so far this season — Erik Stock, Casey Dana, Zach Bushling — all contributed to the big series win, but some relative newcomers had an impact as well. Division II transfer Ben Huber raised his batting average nearly 60 points over the course of the weekend, as usual platoon players Bryan Padilla and Korey Morton combined to go 8-for-13 in the series.
