I mean really....a Husky "ping" parade of runs...
George Springer hits a two run homer early on.
I left after 5 innings and by the time I got to the bottom of the hill onto RT 32 it was 24-5 UCONN. UCONN are the visitors today. Central Connecticut are the Defenders. It has taken 3 hours to play 5 innings. Mike Olt has hit two homers so far, one down the left field line and another that the WHUS radio announcers thought was about 425 feet. He's knocked in 8 runs in the game already. Both Florida State and Oregon teams showed up and are currently listening to iPods and texting home.
BTW the WHUS (UCONN) radio announcers are very funny.
About 2000 or so fans in and under the stands at Dodd on a very hot, humid day on top of the hill.
Had a nice chat with Connecticut Tigers GM Andrew Weber as well. The NCAA are proving to be a very good shakedown for the new regime. No issues with parking, etc today. Plenty of Norwich Police traffic control today.
FINAL: UCONN 25 Blue Devils 5

Olt's second home run had to have been further than 425 feet. It was an absolute bomb. It was also a very special home run, as it was the 44th homer of Olt's career, which breaks Jason Grabowski's UConn career home run record, which was 43.

The Hartford Courant reported that teammates were in the woods looking for the homer ball since it was a record breaker but couldn't find it.
Steve--how did your score card look after this one?
Geno--great update! He just never got untracked....a 4 year Defender

Very messy scorecard today. UConn batted around multiple times and I nearly ran out of room. Looking at it now, it's pretty hard to decipher.
