Giving Mason the start Sunday. I think Bolt & Company (mostly Childress) like Mason's era (1.67) and strike outs to walks (25 - 2 respectively).. Saturday it seems is when Northwestern is throwing their ACE arm. I'm confident Christo will be up to the challenge. Hoping to have a 3 game sweep here but as I said all last year. Win the series, just win the series and in the end, you win the league.
Sears leads the nation in whip and the Big 10 in era, but a little rocky start… gave up solo shot and walked only 8th batter of season. Huskers trail 1-0 after 1.
NW plates another as Sears is uncharacteristically allowing hits, combined with an error. NW did have 2nd-3rd with no outs after the run but Huskers escape
After Huskers fail to score in top of 5, Sears goes 1-2-3 again . Tie game headed to 6th. Huskers load bases with 1 out but K and ground out leave 3 stranded in top of 6
