HONOLULU - The UConn baseball team (6-3) begins its Spring Break with a historic trip to the Hawaiian islands to face the University of Hawaii in a four-game series beginning Friday, March 10 at 11:35 p.m. ET.Â
The series marks the first time the baseball program has played games on the islands and marks the furthest west that the Huskies have played a game.
Saturday and Monday the Huskies will also have 11:35 p.m. ET start times and Sunday will be a 6:05 p.m. ET first pitch. All games will be streamed on MIXLR with Chris Jones on the call. Monday's game will be broadcasted on Spectrum Sports.
UConn is coming off its best weekend of the early part of the season. The Huskies swept FAU in a three-game series last weekend in Boca Raton, Fla.Â
The Huskies utilized timely hitting, great defense, good base running and the pitching held a red hot Owls offense to just seven runs in the series.Â
First baseman Ben Huber had a big weekend at the plate for the Huskies, going 6-12 with three doubles, four runs scored and four RBIs while also capturing his first career multi-stolen base game.
Dominic Freeberger leads the offense with a .355 AVG, 12 runs batted in and eight walks. The UNC Asheville transfer has already made his mark in a UConn uniform with some timely hits in the late innings.Â
RHP Ian Cooke, RHP Stephen Quigley and LHP Andrew Sears are scheduled to start the first three games of the weekend. RHP Jack Sullivan will most likely get the ball in game four but for now Monday's starting pitcher is TBA.Â
