[saluno22]

Wazzu "pitched off" yesterday and is throwing their ace (Cody Anderson, lefty) today.

Our lineup...

Hallmark getting the start at 3B, Altavilla moves to SS in place of Cronenbold.
Acker starting at CF, Klenke moves to RF, Schreiber to 1B, Roskam to C, Wilkening to DH.
LHP McSteen on the bump.

Huskers are the home team again for this game.

About 800 Husker fans in attendance for an alumni event. Yesterday's attendance was less than 200.

 

[saluno22]

Wilkening will catch game 2 later today.

 

[gunNrun]

Interesting line up
I like the depth of this team
It's double header day
Like Coach said, "all hands on deck"
GBR

 

[saluno22]

This is McSteen's first start since 23 April 2016.
Was the Saturday starter in 2016 with 7 starts.

Edit: McSteen's 2016 season ended with labrum surgery.

Indiana 5-0 over Kansas State bottom of 6th

[saluno22]

Lots of high clouds today.

 

[saluno22]

McSteen jamming the batters quite a bit, Wazzu making weak contact.

 

[RobsterMobster]

Top 1st

McSteen in the mound for the Skers. Gives up a walk but ultimately gets through the inning unscathed.

 

[gunNrun]

Oh yeah
Jake getting thru inning one.
Let's go hitters!

 

[saluno22]

This Wazzu pitcher (Cody Anderson) is a bean pole: 6'6, 190.

 

[RobsterMobster]

Bottom 1st

1-2-3 for the Skers

 

[gunNrun]

B1G scores...

Michigan 1-0 over Army in the 4th

 

[gunNrun]

That's the way to do it McSteen!
Getting his groove on.

 

[RobsterMobster]

[RobsterMobster]

Bottom 2nd

The lefty takes the Husker batters down in order once again.

 

[gunNrun]

Penn St game went final
8-6 over Elon

And Purdue just went final
5-1 over Western Michigan

 

[RobsterMobster]

Top 3rd

A HBP and a pickoff gets McSteen a quick 2 outs. The next batter doubles to CF. A walk puts runners on 1st and 2nd but a fly out to RF ends the threat.

 

[gunNrun]

Yeah McSteen
No need for peanut butter...
Jake gets out of the Jam!

 

[gunNrun]

[RobsterMobster]

Bottom 3rd

Acker coaxes a walk but still hit less through three.

 

[RobsterMobster]

Top 4th

1-2-3 efficient inning for McSteen

 

[saluno22]

On that "First National Bank" commercial a couple minutes ago, did anyone else mishear "your dog, Herbie" as "your dog, Herpe"? They need to enunciate a little better on that word.

 

[gunNrun]

missed it
keep my ear open

 

[gunNrun]

Opportunity time
Let's go Huskers!

 

[saluno22]

missed it
keep my ear open

Also, apparently the American and Arizona flags are "a little limp."

 

[gunNrun]

I did catch the 'limp' comment

Jesse Wilkenning with an rbi to score Hagge
Huskers up 1-0
Go Red!

 

[RobsterMobster]

Bottom 4th

Leadoff 4 pitch walk for Mojo and a single by Schreiber over 2nd base puts runners on the corners. Roskam grounds out to 1st but Schreiber gets to 2nd in the out, Mojo for some odd reason stays at 3rd. Wilkening with an RBI single to LF! Henwood with a SAC fly to shallow LF scores Schreiber but Wilkening is thrown out trying to take 2nd.

 

[saluno22]

2-0 NU after 4

 

[saluno22]

Paul Tillotson (R) warming in the pen, slated to pitch in relief (determined before the game).
Mike Waldron (R) also in the bullpen.

 

[saluno22]

McSteen at 87 pitches as Silva goes to the mound.
Edit: Likely to get one more batter.
Edit: And he gets out of the inning!!! Ends with 90 pitches.

 

[gunNrun]

B1G scores...

Minnesota 9-0 over Kennesaw State top 7th
Michigan 2-0 over Army top 7th
Purdue 0-0 game 2 with Western Michigan bottom 1st

 

[RobsterMobster]

Top 5

McSteen gives up a one out walk otherwise nothing doing as he gets through the inning. He officially became the current pitcher of record as he ends his day.

 

[gunNrun]

Yeah McSteen
Got thru 5 Innings!
Huskers!!!

 

[RobsterMobster]

B1G scores...

Minnesota 9-0 over Kennesaw State top 7th

Not too bad of a start for the Big Ten today. We need Rutgers to steal one from Miami.

The freshman with a Double
Jaxon Hallmark
GBR

 

[donahues17]

Lets go BIG RED.

 

[RobsterMobster]

Bottom 5th

Hallmark with a leadoff double to get it started but unfortunately the next three batters go down in order. Acker had a hit down the line robbed at 3rd that would have scored Hallmark.
