Huskers make a late push to come from behind. Down 7-3 going into the 6th they scored 3. They ended the game winning 8-7. Huber closes out his second game of the weekend! looks like he could make a case to be the closer. Huskers end the weekend 4-0 to make their record 4-3 for the season. I think that the competition wasnt great but i think it was a great confidence builder for the team as a whole.
Yeah, obviously not pleased that they managed to go down 7-3, but with four games in three days I'd imagine our pitching was a bit tuckered out. Being over .500 at this point in the season is definitely a plus. Ideally we'll sweep next weekend too, with West Virginia, New Mexico State and Minnesota all being mediocre to bad. 7-3 would be a nice record to start the home slate with, especially considering better play last weekend could have had us a 7-0 or 6-1 record right now.
As I said last night, the Big 10 is looking even worse than I thought, if we can shore up our rotation AND our pen just a little more, there's no reason to think we won't challenge for the conference title. I really want to be excited about this team, next weekend should tell us where we really are. Anything less than 2-1 will be really disappointing.
Also, gotta like the way the bats performed this weekend. I don't think there are any all-american type pitchers in the Big Ten, if we can keep hitting, that's gonna be a big plus.
