STORRS, Conn. – The UConn baseball returns to the field at UMass on Tuesday, April 16 at Earl Lorden Field at 3 p.m.
The series against the Minutemen is the second most played series in the history of the program (Rhode Island) with the Huskies leading it 89-73-3. UConn has not played in Amherst since 2016, the teams were scheduled to play in 2018 but weather forced the game to be cancelled.
The last meeting between the programs came in 2017 at J.O. Christian Field. The Huskies won 11-3 with P.J. Poulin dealing 5.0 innings of work to earn his first career win. Chris Winkel recorded three hits and drove in three runs while Anthony Prato added a pair of hits and two RBIs.
UMass is 10-17 overall with a 5-7 mark in the Atlantic 10. The Minutemen are coming off a series win against George Washington. Collin Shapiro leads UMass with a .320 AVG, 32 hits and 18 RBIs while Connor Smith has hit three home runs to lead the Minutemen.
The Huskies are 5-1 in northeast midweek games this season and enter Tuesday's contest with a 23-13 record. Christian Fedko earned American Conference Weekly Honor Roll recognition after a pair of three-RBI games against Bryant and Memphis to help the Huskies go 4-1 last week.
