Softball In Storrs

One last pilgrimage to Burrill Family Field. So many amazing memories. #FyfeBomb4Lyfe

Amazing year, proud of them

So so proud of you, @UConnSoftball.

Hell of a year, @UConnSoftball

Thanks for an incredible season, @UConnSoftball. We *finally* took the next leap forward by making it back to the NCAA tournament. I’m going to miss this year’s seniors dearly, but we have SO MUCH talent returning next season. This isn’t the ceiling. It’s the new floor.

IT’S SHOWTIME! Time to play the spoiler in Baton Rouge 😤

Now, if that new day includes a date with a fresh-off-an-upset LSU, I might not like that day very much…

Today’s game overlapped with the end of a crazy workday for me, but I caught most of it. The result was, of course, disappointing but I appreciated the way we battled. It felt like we were only a few swings from making it a completely different game. Tomorrow is a new day.

THE BIG EAST FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR GETS THE HUSKIES ON THE BOARD‼️ 15th homer of the year for Cat Petteys😤 📺: ESPN+

BEEP BEEP STILL HERE DONT DISRESPECT THE SOFTBUS LIKE THAT

Rough going for UConn pitching so far, but we knew Nebraska’s offense was legit. We’ve stranded too many runners through the first 3 innings. If we’d pushed a few of those across the plate, things would feel a lot better right now.

@UConnSoftball If the Huskies can go swing-for-swing with the Huskers, today’s game is very much a winnable one.

IT’S NCAA TOURNAMENT GAMEDAY! @UConnSoftball takes on Nebraska in the first game of regional play at 3 p.m. in Baton Rouge. Live broadcast is on ESPN+. Expect a high-scoring game between two of the nation’s most potent offenses.

Shifting into high gear - HERE. WE. GO. #BuckleUp | #WEbeforeme

Lookout for the BIG EAST champs on local billboards!👀

I have no words. The Regional is going to be sooooo spicy!!!!

If UConn comes out swinging in Game 1, I could see us beating Nebraska. LSU is a tougher ask. I *think* LSU will start their freshman Jayden Heavener in Game 1, which means we’d get their ace Sydney Berzon. Both are scary good, but Heavener is just a little more vulnerable.

SE Louisiana’s pitching is legit — allowing just 2.5 runs per game — but they haven’t faced an offense like ours since losing to FSU in February. They’re also one of the country’s luckiest teams, ranking No. 2 in opponents’ errors per game. I suspect that won’t continue…

First look at @UConnSoftball’s regional: 🥎 Nebraska is one of only 11 teams averaging more runs per game than UConn. 🥎 SE Louisiana and LSU are both top 20 nationally in limiting runs per game. 🥎 Expect UConn-Neb to be a shootout, LSU-SE Louisiana to be a pitchers’ duel.

Could not be more proud of the poised, well spoken young lady. @gracee_jenkins
