UConn baseball found itself in a familiar situation in Friday’s Big East tournament opener against Georgetown and ended the game with a very familiar result. The Huskies trailed entering the bottom of the eighth and scored twice to emerge with a 5-4 victory.
Down 4-3 with six outs until the loser’s bracket, third baseman Dom Freeberger and right fielder Jake Studley both drove in runs via check swing singles: Freeberger’s over the head of the second baseman and Studley’s a slow roller to second. The two mainstays at the top of the Huskies’ order delivered to continue a long run of comeback victories this season.
