Fighting Erstads vs. Northwestern

[HuskersNC949597]

It is surprisingly difficult to stomp a mudhole in Northwestern even though on paper it seems like it shouldn't be. Can't complain too much about beating them, no matter how stressful the game itself is.

The pitcher they had going tonight is pretty good. He beat tOSU earlier this year and also beat NU 2 years ago.

Oh, I know. 2-1 in 12 innings, heard the radio guys bring that game back up several times. But I'm sure somebody on the OWH comment section or wherever is complaining about a close game against a team with a losing record. Throw records out the window when you're playing Northwestern

I'm just glad our pitcher fought through difficulties and never caved in. Hopefully Chestnut is back as he had a pretty good outing.

Nebraska wearing what I believe is their white tops with red "NEBRASKA" on the chest and white pants.
