UN-L v. UNK

[HuskerFanChuck]

Huskers lead 1-0 at the end of 5. Just left the bases loaded in the bottom of the fifth. Not sure exactly who he has in v. who the regular starters are, so he may be resting guys today, and trying some out. Still, a lead is a lead. Thought I'd throw that out there. D1baseball.com sent me in the right direction for live stats. Finally found the link on huskers.com. Hadn't ever found the live stat pages on there before without them being listed in the schedule. Nice to know where they are for the future.

4-0 after six. Solo home run and some good base running for the other 2 runs.

As a student here at UNK I hope the Lopers can bring this back and make it tight.

[95huskers]

4-1

[95huskers]

Nebraska has left a ton of runners on base. I believe its over 10 already

[95huskers]

bottom 8 still 4-1

[HuskerFanChuck]

Middle of the eighth, 4-1, lopers scored one in the top of the seventh.

[HuskerFanChuck]

Wouldn't surprise me. I know they left the bases loaded in one inning already.

4-1 after eight, heading to the top of the ninth.

a w is a w.. its good to have these games where the young guys can get in to get some playing time. may young guys were able to get in today and most played pretty well.

[HuskerFanChuck]

4-1 final. Left a bunch on base, but otherwise, a win. Looked like, from what little I know of the names of the players, that maybe they were resting some of the bigger names today. Get some quality innings in for other players. All in all, still another win.

Didn't watch it, but sounded a bit sloppy. Sounded like it was a chilly day as well. It's a 'W', time to get ready for Cal.

Erstad was just on the radio and said we didn't come out with the enthusiasm and energy he wanted. Said the pitchers left too many pitches up in the strike zone. He said they approach UNK just like they would any opponent-play our game with our type of energy and we can play with anyone.

Took my boys to the game today. My oldest second and my younest, his first. The majority of the game was played by the younger bench players. No problem with this at all looking at the number of games this team plays in this homestand in a short time frame. Christensen and Kiser were the only regulars that got the start. Kiser hit the homer, that the wind pushed out. Kash pinch hit late in the game and stayed at DH going 0-2 but hitting the ball solidly. Scheffert pinch hit late as well. Spitsnogle threw the ball good today.

The thing that makes games like these fun, is that NU is seeing what probably was UNK ace. And any small school that comes in throwing their ace, has a chance. Might be a wierd delivery or a new release point that can baffle a team. Saw it last year against Doane who started a 3/4 throwing motion. Both teams hit the ball hard, and well, more often than not it was right at someone. It was a good game, just pretty cold.

 

Great side note. It probably was around the tenth Husker baseball game I attended before getting a foul/homerun ball. My 5 year old ran down a ball hit by Austin Darby by himself to claim his first. Just had to prevent him from throwing it to the UNK bullpen so that they "could have their ball back"

This game doesn't go into our record as far as NCAA stats go. I didn't get to listen to anything after the Kiser wind-aided HR due to a work meeting, but it's good that the younger kids got some playing time and we got some rest for the 'starters.'
