No. 21 UConn baseball had not lost consecutive games since March 24-25 against USF, a stretch of 24 games. The Huskies had also won their last five conference series. Both of those streaks vanished in the blink of a double-header sweep by Houston on Friday.
“It was a long day and a long night in Hartford,” head coach Jim Penders said.
Game 1 was characterized by a very weird pitching matchup. Mason Feole nor Trey Cumbie had dominant numbers, but each were effective at keeping their teams in the game, looking un-hittable at times.
