After breezing through the opening 13 games of the year, UConn baseball hit a bump in the road in its most recent contest against Long Beach State. Whereas the first two losses of the year were by a combined five runs, the Huskies lost 9-1 to Long Beach State on Wednesday night, though to be fair it was their second midweek game in a row and fifth game in six nights.
It was an off day for Jim Penders’ squad, as the pitching staff recorded a season-high in walks and a season-low with two hits. After getting an extra day to rest, UConn will take on UC San Diego in the last swing of its spring break west coast road trip.
