The Fighting Erstads at the Big Ten Tournament

[EbylHusker]

Deleon ??

Hander is pitching. I'm willing to bet Erstad thinks we can beat Minnesota with Hander and have Deleon pitch tomorrow.

 

[Comish]

wow that would be pretty dicey. In a one and done you better secure the one first!

 

[EbylHusker]

I don't know, it's the only shot (even if it's a slim chance) we have at winning the whole thing. Our chances of getting through the next two games with wins are much better by putting a weaker pitcher against the weaker team. It doesn't matter if we lose to Minnesota today or Indiana/OSU tomorrow. You're trying to win the tournament, and this gives us our best chance.

No score into the bottom of the third with Nebraska up to bat. Hander has been in a bit of trouble in the 2nd and 3rd, but worked his way out.

 

[EbylHusker]

Still 0's heading into the bottom of the 4th. Huskers can't seem to make much headway against Sawyer. Hander with a good 1-2-3 inning.

 

[EbylHusker]

Huskers waking up now. 1-0 with the help of a ridiculous throw to 1st from the pitcher that advanced Christensen to 3rd. Runners at the corners, no outs.

 

[EbylHusker]

2-0 Huskers after safety squeeze. Pitcher mishandles the ball, everyone safe. 1 out, runners at 1st and 2nd.

 

[EbylHusker]

3-0, 2 outs, close play at the plate, but Scheffert is safe for the 3rd run after a single (Peters) drove him home. Runners at 2nd and 3rd.

 

[EbylHusker]

Kelly crushes a 3 run homer to make it 6-0.

 

[Pasadena Husker]

outstanding!

 

[hskrfan4life]

c'mon Hander don't lose it now.

 

[hskrfan4life]

RBI Single by Minnesota. 6-1 Runners on the corners with no out.

 

[hskrfan4life]

this game gets more interesting, 3 run homer by Minnesota, 6-4 Huskers lead.

 

[Pasadena Husker]

wow! that sucked.

 

[hskrfan4life]

Hander's day is done.
