UConn Holds Off K-State 4-0 in 7-Inning Shutout at Elliot Ballpark

On Tuesday night, the Huskies of UConn shut out K-State 4-0 at Elliot Ballpark. The two-run third inning was all UConn needed to secure the victory. K-State head coach Pete Hughes stated that the team struggled to build an inning and put pressure on UConn’s offense.

UConn executed the necessary matchups and made crucial plays to secure the win. Andrew Evans took the loss after giving up two runs in the third inning, while Ty Ruhl had a solid outing in relief. Ruhl struck out two and held the Huskies scoreless in his first appearance since February.

K-State was held to just two hits by UConn’s Joe Cinnella, who got the win in relief. The Wildcats dropped their fourth consecutive game and were shut out for the first time in a while. Five different Wildcats recorded hits in the game, including an extra-base hit from Jaden Parsons.

Despite some offensive opportunities, K-State couldn’t capitalize and UConn extended their lead over the final three innings. The Wildcats were set to play Northeastern and return home for a series against Oklahoma State later in the week.
