CLEARWATER, Fla. – Connecticut starting pitcher Elliot Glynn held the BIG EAST’s most potent lineup to one run and seven hits in 7.1 innings, and the sixth-seeded Huskies exploded for six runs in the eighth to come from behind and take a 6-1 win against No. 3-seeded West Virginia Tuesday in Game 3 of the BIG EAST Baseball Championship at Bright House Field.

The Huskies move on to face the winner of Wednesday morning’s matchup between No. 2-seeded USF and No. 7-seeded Pittsburgh at a time to be determined. West Virginia will face the loser of the USF-Pittsburgh game in an elimination contest at 8 p.m.

Glynn registered seven strikeouts in improving to 5-4 on the year. He allowed just one run against a Mountaineer squad that came into the game averaging 8.6 runs and batting a collective .362.

Glynn was matched pitch-for-pitch by West Virginia starter Jarryd Summers, who allowed just four hits in seven shutout innings with seven strikeouts. The Mountaineers turned to their bullpen to start the eighth, however, and the Huskies responded by scoring six runs on seven hits in the inning.

The Mountaineers took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third when Justin Parks doubled down the leftfield line and came home on Jedd Gyorko’s base hit to left. The Huskies threatened to tie it in the top of the fourth, when Pierre LePage led off with a double. But Parks gunned down LePage at the plate for the third out on George Springer’s single to left, keeping the one-run lead for West Virginia.

West Viriginia reliever Chris Enourato struck out the first man he faced, but the Huskies took over from there, getting a double from Harold Brantley Jr. and an RBI single from LePage to tie the game. Mike Nemeth followed with an RBI double, and Springer and Peter Fatse delivered RBI singles to make it chase Enourato from the game and make it 4-1. The Huskies tacked on two more thanks to a wild pitch and a throwing error to hold a five-run lead through six-and-a-half innings.

Glynn left after striking out Austin Markel to lead off the eighth, turning ball over to Dusty Odenbach. Odenbach struck out two in 1.2 innings of scoreless relief to nail down the win.

LePage went 3-for-4 for Connecticut (34-23), which had 11 hits on the day. Parks, Gyorko and Dan DiBartolomeo all went 2-for-4 for the Mountaineers, who fell to 36-17.
