Right handed pitcher Daniel Caruso now pitching for Baylor as he pitches a 1-2-3 inning.

One out walk and an E6 puts runners on 1st and 2nd. Fly out to Acker in CF for out #2. Groundout to 3rd ends the Baylor threat.

1-0 U of N
 
Top 7th

Gunner with a leadoff line drive to right centerfield. Roskam then walks. Cross fails to get a successful SAC bunt down and instead pokes his bunt to the pitcher who is able to get the lead runner at 3rd. Acker drills a liner to CF to load the bases. Hallmark with a crucial K for out #2. Schwellenbach grounds out to end the threat. A lot of mental errors that inning. Let’s hope it doesn’t cost us and Fisher stays on fire.

1-0 DONU
 
Bottom 7th

Great play by Schlepp at SS for out #1. The next batter is HBP. Next batter pops out to 2nd. The final batter grounds out to 2nd on what was a close play after the ball was initially bobbled.

1-0 Fisher and the Huskers

Fisher in to finish it up but he does ding the leadoff hitter and puts him on 1st. Fisher then leaves the game with the no hitter still in tact? I will say the win is more important which is probably why the call was made, especially if you consider this is the heart of the Baylor lineup. Either way Robbie Palkert comes in to relieve Fisher.

The first batter faced hits into a 6-4-3 DP. The next batter pokes a single to RF to breakup the no hitter. Oh well, let’s just win this game! Colby Gomes now in for the save opportunity.

Fly out to RF gives the Huskers the series win! Let’s get the brooms out for tomorrow boys!

2-0 Huskers win!!!

Great pitching performance today!

I should be on the move for tomorrow's game given we've won against #3 Texas Tech and twice against #21 Baylor when I haven't been able to be in one place to enjoy it. I'll take the blame for listening to the Sam Houston State game in one spot.
