STORRS, CT. - It was Xavier's last time batting first in the regular season, and two big early innings from UConn allowed the Huskies to take the series win. Xavier got close with a four-run fifth, but UConn would not be denied on their Senior Day.
Like yesterday, UConn had a major first inning to take the driver's seat in today's game. Five runs in the first and six runs in the third were more than enough for the Huskies today. Andrew Walker homered in the second, and Grant Stephenson hit a sacrifice fly later in the inning, but the Musketeers found themselves in an early 11-2 hole.
