Nate Fisher (L) to pitch for the Huskers.

Same status for...
Luensmann: out for season
Curry: out for season

[saluno22]

Seems like as soon as I created this thread, the wheels started to fall off against Wazzu. I take full responsibility for that 9th inning.

 

[saluno22]

Erstad is not satisfied with the performance in Game 1, even when we built an 8-0 lead.
When asked about Hallmark: "I'm just going to get out of his way.

Addante will start (Erstad didn't say whom he is starting in place of), everyone else will be the same.

 

[saluno22]

Through 2 games, NU has used 8 of the 14 pitchers who made the trip. Throw in Fisher tonight and Warren tomorrow, and the Huskers are down to 4 unused arms in the bullpen. But Matt Waldron and Hohensee may be able to go again.

 

[saluno22]

Percival (R, Fr.; coach's son) for UC-Riverside is making his first career start.

No idea, I'm curious as well!

They really ran with the pullovers at the beginning and end of last season, but not as much in the middle.

What I've learned from Grag about sky conditions...
1) "High clouds" are good for fielders.
2) "High skies" are bad for fielders.
