Huskies Fall to No. 1 Vanderbilt, 6-1

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - The UConn baseball team's bats remained quiet against No. 1 Vanderbilt (1-1)Â on Saturday evening from Salt River Fields at Talking Stick.
UConn (0-2) went up against one of the top arms in the country, sophomore right hander Kumar Rocker. UConn had him on the ropes in the bottom of the second with the bases loaded and no one out. Senior Conor Moriarty battled and drew a bases loaded walk to bring in the first run of the season for the Huskies. UConn let Rocker off the hook with a fielder's choice out at the plate, a strikeout and fly out to end the threat.
Colby Dunlop shined on the hill for the Huskies with 5.0 quality innings that featured four strikeouts and just one run allowed.
The UConn bats mustered up just two hits the rest of the game and struck out 12 times for the second-straight game.
The defense was not sharp for the second game in a row, committing four errors and missing the opportunity to turn two double plays.
UConn has a quick turnaround against undefeated and No. 8 ranked Michigan (3-0) on Sunday at 12 p.m. ET.Â
Notes
- Will Lucas made his first collegiate appearance on the mound with two scoreless innings of work. The right hander played in the infield during his freshman year.
- Reggie Crawford and Zach Bushling notched their first career hits in a UConn uniform.
- Todd Petersen, Max Nielsen, Erik Stock all made their UConn debuts on Saturday.
