Wichita bullpen is hittable.

“American Athletic Conference baseball action on Tuesday, April 4.”
Cinn, Tulane, & USF look dreadful.

Ek looked OK in the 1st.

Wich pitcher hit by a drive. Hit batter, outfield error, 3d baseman error ( on a lollipop to 1st), a sac fly & its 2-0 UH.

Rough 3d for Ek. Gives up a bomb & a sac fly.
2-2 T4

T5
UH 4-2 around a Murray double and another rough Wich error.

B5
UH needs a new pitcher in the 5th. Ek has a tough inning coming if past performance holds.
EK back w UH up 5-2 off another Wich error.

B6
Well done Ek. José Torrealba in.
Gets no outs before a 3 run jack.
5-5.

T8
Uhse double. Just missed HR. Bianco in as a runner & Burckel gets the RBI.
McMillian jacks one. UH 8-5.

Torrealba done w runners at 2nd/3d no outs.
Murray in. Got the W last appearance vs Rice but struggled.
Gets out of bases loaded w just a Sac Fly. UH 8-6.

Murray closes it out. Well done.

Schmitz cruising after a 2 RBI triple in 2nd.

T5
Hit batters & more bad fielding by Wich but UH leaves them loaded.
Nickens gets kicked out. Something said about Wich hitting 3 Coogs this game?

B7
UH finally chased Candiotti but leaves 2 on. He was good today.
UH w 9 left on base.
Encouraging that Schmitz has 5 long starts in a row.

Schmitz 5 good starts.

Whit and staff made some horrible pitching evaluations. These guys together is rough.

Citelli and Lott (?) tomorrow then the less horrible bullpen guys. I like their chances.

Not often you see two players from the same team (Uhse and Nickens) ejected at the end of an inning

Yes

I see Uhse is back. The WSU announcer kept talking about how he wouldn’t be playing today because of the ejection yesterday along with Nickens.

I see Nickens isn’t playing today, so was Uhse not ejected like their commentator said?

4-0 Coogs Top of the 4th.

I was watching Cuse-Princeton lax.
On cable/SNY & people over I couldnt switch to ESPN +.

Cade Citelli really did have a no hitter going into the 5th.
I thought the live stats were broken.
By far his best outing. Well done.

UH rocking Grant Adler. One of the best pitchers in the AAC this season.

B5
Pitch clock strikeout and its 4-1 UH.
Citeli gets out of a jam.

B6
Why put Citelli back out ? Couldn’t see he was cooked & lucky in the 5th ?
Ayers w 2 on and no outs ? Not Lott or Miller in next ?

Rough error by Murray on a quick play to 2nd and its 4-3. Nice throw by Lott nails runner at 3d and the bases are clear.

T7
Arnold doubles in 2. Lopez gets 1st hit of series.
UH 7-3.

Murray makes up BIG for that error w a Jack!
Its 11-3.

SMH…changing pitchers in the middle of the count seems to haunt us. Glad we got out of the inning with the lead.

Their feel for the starting staff has been consistently an inning 2 long.
Over and over its runners on base for the guy who should have started the inning.

I like what they have done with the relief pitchers for the most part.
They even got a few big moments from the @ 10 era guys.

6-3 Coogs

Coogs open up a can of WHOOPASS in the 7th.

11-3 Coogs.

Murray makes up BIG for that error w a Jack!
Seven runs w 2 outs.
13 of 14 runs w 2 out today.

That HR was in the corner? It looked like the ball almost hit a light pole, not a foul pole.

Lott just missed the Grand Salami over that way.
He has been great this year. Hitting/pitching/disruptive on base/ good arm in the OF for his size.
UH 14-3.

Arbolida w a pinch hit Jack ! His UH career highlight.
UH 17-3.
