I don’t think we can look past the fact that last year Sears was undefeated until the regionals, meaning we won the first game of the series almost all season and at the end of the year Mason was throwing just as well, if not better. Losing the Big 10 pitcher of the year (and probably top 10 in Neb history) combined with our number 1 guy this year is a killer. Yes, too many mistakes and our bats are inconsistent, but pitching is a problem. We gave up an astonishing amount of extra base hits yesterday. I agree with you 100%, just throwing more onto the statement.Poor way to start home series. Too many mental & physical errors. Hitting has a long way to go. Not what expected with several players back from last year.
