BIG MOMENTS

1st inning: Connecticut got off to a quick start with a single for Kingston Liniak and a double for Jose King. A wild pitch scored Liniak, then Eliezer Alfnso and Corey Joyce got RBI hits to give Connecticut a three run lead.

Top of the 5th: With two on and two out, Adley Rutschman crushed a baseball down the right field line. It landed 10 feet foul, but would have tied the game before it was ruled an offical contest.

Bottom of the 5th: With Liniak at the plate, mother nature ended the ball game.
