INDIANAPOLIS - The UConn baseball team (19-17, 5-3 BIG EAST) captured a 3-1 win to even up its series against Butler (13-21, 4-1 BIG EAST) on a complete game performance for LHP Cayden Suchy on Saturday afternoon at Bulldog Park.Â
The sophomore out of Sterling, Va. retired the final 19 batters he faced after allowing a two-out RBI single in the third to earn his third win of the season.Â
Suchy allowed just three hits, did not walk a batter and struck out 11 in the complete game effort.Â
The Huskies got him all the runs he would need with a three-run fifth inning. Rob Rispoli led off the frame with his 100th career hit, a single through the left side to start the rally. Chris Polemeni followed with a one-out single to move Rispoli to third. Freshman Cam Righi quickly tied the game with an RBI single to right.Â
After a throwing error from the Butler catcher on a steal attempt for Cam Righi made it 2-1, Jackson Marshall doubled into the left field corner to push the lead to 3-1.Â
Suchy was in full command of his pitches on Saturday and became the first UConn pitcher to register a complete game since Stephen Quigley did so against Rutgers on March 24, 2024.Â
The Huskies and Bulldogs will play for the series on Sunday, April 12 at 12 p.m.
