Big East: Calls Don't Go UConn's Way

By Adam Caparell - May 24, 2007

The umpires killed a potential UConn rally, making two calls that are still baffling those assembled in the press box.
Basically, the Huskies had runners on first and second and UConn coach Jim Penders called a double steal. Catcher Brad Olt was up and protected his teammates, swinging and missing. St. John's catcher Brendan Monaghan threw to second late and the Huskies seemed to have runners on second and third with one out. But the umpire called interference and sent both Olt and Untiet - who was on first - into the dugout after a lengthy discussion around the mound. With two outs, Josh Parkes bounced out to the shortstop and the Huskies were left empty handed at the end of the inning. 3 7 0 St. John's, 0 6 1 UConn after four full.
