On the weekend, the Huskers got the bats going, hitting .364 as a team on the weekend after setting season highs in both runs and hits (18) in Sunday’s win over the Red Storm.

hoyamannn Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 A win over the Gophers will round out a nice sweep for the Skers this weekend. I can't wait to get out to the park on Friday! BTW, everyone knows we're in for some NASTY weather, right? Happens every year, Huskers are gone the first few weeks and weather in Lincoln is awesome, and when the come home for that first series we get either freezing temps or snow......Hope I'm wrong!!!!
