UConn Baseball Completes Seton Hall Sweep, Moves to Top of Big East

Chris Polemeni’s five‑RBI performance, including a grand slam, and solid pitching from Oliver Pudvar help the Huskies dominate the Pirates and share first place in the conference.

The University of Connecticut’s baseball team closed out a dominant weekend series with a 7‑3 victory over Seton Hall, completing a sweep that saw the Huskies outscore their opponents 24‑7 across the three games.

Chris Polemeni was the offensive catalyst, driving in five runs and launching a grand slam in the third inning that put UConn ahead 5‑1.

Oliver Pudvar turned in a strong start, pitching six innings while allowing just two runs and striking out five batters.

Maddix Dalena opened the scoring with a base hit in the first inning, and Greg Shaw III closed the game with three shutout innings to earn his third save of the season.

Seton Hall managed only a two‑run single from Nick Tomasetto in the opening frame, but the Huskies’ bats kept the pressure on throughout.

Looking Ahead

UConn will next host Northeastern on Tuesday before turning its attention to a pivotal series against Villanova, a matchup that could further solidify their position at the top of the Big East standings.

The team’s recent surge has been bolstered by contributions from the entire roster, including Anthony Belisario, Jackson Marshall, Nater Wachter, and Shea Grady, who have all played key roles in the early season.
