Huskers.com lists "Omaha KXSP - 590 AM" as the only baseball affiliate in Omaha. Somehow Fremont, Scottsbluff, and Superior have both an AM and FM affiliate for baseball...

I'm listening online.

Yeah, No idea what 590 is doing, very disappointing. I am streaming the game on BTNPlus but I like to mute the video and listen to the radio.

 

[saluno22]

Wow efficient T1 for Alvarado (9 pitches).

 

[RobsterMobster]

Top 1st

Luis Alvarado on the mound and he works a 1-2-3 1st inning.

0-0

 

[RobsterMobster]

Does anyone have any insight on Nate Fisher? Heard a rumor he was unavailable this weekend.

 

[saluno22]

For Northwestern State, Taylor (listed as 2B starter) and Watson (listed as 3B starter) will swap positions throughout the game based on the pull side of the batter. Taylor is the better defender and will always be on the pull side.

 

[saluno22]

Does anyone have any insight on Nate Fisher? Heard a rumor he was unavailable this weekend.

No clue. Noticed he was missing from the starting lineup projections and was wondering the same thing.

He had a good outing last weekend: 5.0 IP, 8 H, 1 R / 1 ER, 3 BB, 4 K.

 

[RobsterMobster]

Bottom 1st

Mojo out on a liner back to the mound. Repinski with an infield single to 3rd. Altavilla follows with a liner up the middle. Schreiber with an RBI single through the left side. Wilkening hits into a 4-6-3 DP to end the inning.

1-0 Huskers!

You don’t see that everyday.

 

[RobsterMobster]

Top 2nd

Alvarado gives up a one out single to RF otherwise nothing doin’

1-0 Huskers

 

[RobsterMobster]

Bottom 2nd

Leadoff single to LF for Roskam. Hallmark rips a single to CF. Henwood flies out to LF. Cronenbold flies out to CF. Mojo with an RBI single to CF! An E8 allows Hallmark to get to 3rd on the play (even though the official scorebook has recorded the error as of yet for some reason). Repinski flies out to CF.

2-0 Huskers!

 

[RobsterMobster]

Top 3rd

Alvarado gives up a one out single once again otherwise he gets through unfazed.

2-0 Huskers

 

[RobsterMobster]

Bottom 3rd

One out single to CF for Schreiber and a WP moves him to 2nd. Wilkening flies out to LF. Roskam flies out to CF.

2-0 Huskers

 

[saluno22]

Well, that could have been a lot worse.

 

[saluno22]

Dang, lots of blown opportunities offensively. Unfortunate, quick end to B4 after bases loaded and 1 out.

 

[RobsterMobster]

Unfortunately I can’t update anymore today my phone is at 8%.

We may have to discuss other ideas in regards to the game threads. I’ll be at most home games and it seems the batteries in these phones get worse every upgrade. Haha

Maybe we have a discussion thread with random updates on scoring changes and utilize the live stats to stay on the up and up? Thoughts?

 

[RobsterMobster]

Dang, lots of blown opportunities offensively. Unfortunate, quick end to B4 after bases loaded and 1 out.

That bit us in the butt last year many times. I’d hate to see that rear it’s ugly head this season and become a norm once again.

 

[RobsterMobster]

I guess that should answer the question in regards to Fisher. Glad he is ok.

 

[saluno22]

Apparently Fisher is healthy, he's entering in relief of Alvarado.

 

[RobsterMobster]

NSU has taken a 3-2 lead as we head to the bottom of the 7th

 

[RobsterMobster]

Top 9th

Nate Fisher and the Husker gloves give up 3 more runs before Frazier gets them out of the inning.

6-2 Northwestern State.

 

[saluno22]

Nebraseball is now 0-1 when wearing green hats.

 

[RobsterMobster]

The Huskers finish the day with 2 runs on 14 singles. We can out single the best of them.

Huskers lose 6-2

 

[HuskersNC]

This, um, doesn't help the at-large regional bid chances

 

[k9_r]

Just lost 6-2 at home, to a so-so southern team on a cold day, while batting .359.

Setting up to be a looooooooong season.
