HANC

Jays with something going in 7th. First and second with no outs.

Caron with an rbi double, followed by a sac fly…. 3-1 Huskers

Timmerman on for Huskers and gets out of 6th. Still 1-1

Just like that, we are knotted at 1-1, with a 2 out shot over the right field fence from Caron

CU on the board with a wind aided HR. 1-0

Clark puts in two good innings, 4 k, 0 runs. By design, Freolich comes in . Retires the side. 0-0 headed to bottom of 3

Good first inning for Clark. Lead off walk , but then gets 2 k and fly ball

I meant “must win” in terms of our own mindset and momentum. This team needs to get some momentum back and it could start tonight. Earlier, this group was finding ways to win, whereas , currently, they seem to be finding ways to lose. You are correct, CU will throw one of their top guys and we will use about 6 different pitchers.

I may be in the minority here, but my gut feels like tonight feels like a must win game. We don’t want to head into a weekend series vs Maryland losing 4 of last 5, including the second time to Creighton.

Have a day MM! Just watch the doctor order. An absolute gem against the best offensive team in the conference, whom we could not seem to get out yesterday. Career high and strikeouts, and they shut out after seven.

Thank you for the updates, unable to watch game today

I felt the ump squeezed us a bit. I watch Big 10+, but listen to Husker radio for call. Sears should have had a k and next pitch was weak single ( not sure if it was inning when they scored), I thought Borist got rough calls also. Again, no excuses, just observing. We have benefited from squeezing the other way throughout the year. A little surprised that he didn’t stick with Sears at least through 7. Yes, he gave up 2 runs on two solid hits, but hit that proceed rbi was a weak, jam shot that bled into left field. Sears has shown that he doesn’t get extremely rattled a pitch count was non issue. Then Worthley and Borist could have had 8-9. Easy to second guess. All looked good and right moves when it was 6-2

Yuck! Can’t blow a 6-2 lead and 6-3 in 9th. This one really hurts as this Rutgers team swings it very well. We will see if we can respond

Sanders onto face heart of Rutgers line up

Lead off double for Carey in 11th, but failed sac bunt, infield pop up, and k strand him. Ughhhh

Fantastic play by Stoaks saves game for now. Can’t lose this one. Rutgers leads league in batting average and they just battle. New game. Sears now gets no decision after Huskers blow 6-2 lead. Stoakes saves KP (maybe Dias’s) from loss. Lost track

Rutgers won’t go away. 2 on, tying run at plate with 1 out

Borist gets out of 8th. Lead 6-3 into 9

Borist started hot, but loses command a bit. Gives up run and tying run at plate

Huskers go to Borist as Worthley gives up lead off single

Will Walsh smacks a 2 out, 3 run shot to give Huskers a 6-2 lead in top of 8

Rutgers goes to pen.

Worthley comes on and allows lead off single, but works out of it with nasty off speed pitch on 3-2 count. Now let’s go offense!

Sears’ night is done. Another “quality” by Sears, but looked human for first time this year and will not be happy, but is in line for win. Worthley into game

Huskers get them at 2nd and 3rd in top of 7, but great play by Rutgers shortstop ends inning. 3-2 good guys into bottom of 7.
