SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – The UConn baseball team (30-22, 13-5 BIG EAST) completed a series sweep at Seton Hall (15-28, 2-16 BIG EAST) with a 7-3 victory on Sunday afternoon.
Oliver Pudvar earned his seventh win of the season with his fifth-straight quality start that spanned 6.0 innings allowed nine hits but just two runs allowed and struck out five.
Greg Shaw III finished it off with his third save of the year with 3.0 innings of work.
Maddix Dalena got the scoring going in the first with a two-out RBI single that plated Anthony Belisario.
The Pirates scored two runs in the bottom of the first to take a 2-1 advantage.
UConn took the lead for good in the third after a pair of walks to Jackson Marshall and Nater Wachter was paired with a Maddix Dalena single to load the bases. Chris Polemeni drilled a grand slam to left field to make it 5-2 Huskies.
