Took my boys to the game today. My oldest second and my younest, his first. The majority of the game was played by the younger bench players. No problem with this at all looking at the number of games this team plays in this homestand in a short time frame. Christensen and Kiser were the only regulars that got the start. Kiser hit the homer, that the wind pushed out. Kash pinch hit late in the game and stayed at DH going 0-2 but hitting the ball solidly. Scheffert pinch hit late as well. Spitsnogle threw the ball good today.
The thing that makes games like these fun, is that NU is seeing what probably was UNK ace. And any small school that comes in throwing their ace, has a chance. Might be a wierd delivery or a new release point that can baffle a team. Saw it last year against Doane who started a 3/4 throwing motion. Both teams hit the ball hard, and well, more often than not it was right at someone. It was a good game, just pretty cold.
Great side note. It probably was around the tenth Husker baseball game I attended before getting a foul/homerun ball. My 5 year old ran down a ball hit by Austin Darby by himself to claim his first. Just had to prevent him from throwing it to the UNK bullpen so that they "could have their ball back"
