I was fortunate this year to schedule my first televised college baseball game for the ESPN family of networks at the end of this regular season, and I picked up a Big East game in early May as part of my preparation. Conference leader UConn, looking for a fourth straight regular season title, and host Seton Hall, trying to move up the standings, both needed to win this series in a big way, and after UConn rallied to win Friday's opener, I called a tense pitchers' duel with a dramatic finish on Saturday afternoon in Jersey.
Here are the big plays in the game, courtesy of the teams' respective Twitter accounts!

That's Andrew Bianco, a defensive replacement, with the game-winning hit in the bottom of the 9th to give Seton Hall a MUCH-needed 2-1 win. UConn, however, rebounded in the nightcap of a doubleheader to take the series and hold a 1-game lead atop the conference with two weekends remaining in the regular season. Seton Hall is 4 games out of the final Big East tournament spot with only 6 games left.
My next action is on Saturday, May 18, calling top-5 club Clemson against Boston College in their regular season finale on ACC Network.
