If UConn baseball proved last weekend in the regional round that they were able to hang with power conference players, they took it a step further on Friday night with a 13-12 win over No. 2 overall seed Stanford. The win over the Cardinal marked UConn’s first ever victory in a Super Regional.
The Huskies’ win featured an offensive explosion with 13 runs on 17 hits including seven doubles, three home runs and a near total collapse by their bullpen. Stanford scored eight runs in the final two innings to nearly tie the game up. They had eight home runs on the night, their program-high since 2004.
