That half inning was tougher than it needed to be.

 

[gunNrun]

Waldron...
Grounder to Altavilla, gets the out at 2nd

Whew!

Going to the Top of 8
4-2 Huskers up

 

[RobsterMobster]

Need to pad on some insurance runs this inning. They’ll have their 2-3-4 hitters coming up in the bottom half of the 8th.

[gunNrun]

Hallmark batting...
base hit, with 1 Out

Klenke to bat

 

[gunNrun]

Full time Closer?

I'd say Hohensee

 

[saluno22]

Who is the closer this year

I believe it is going to be Hohensee, but that remains to be seen.
Tillotson could develop into that role.
Waldron and Palkert appear to remain at long middle relief.

 

[WC_'sker]

Hoops update... Nebraska trails Illinois at the half, 36 to 43.

 

[gunNrun]

Ben Klenke still batting...

Trash cart going by again...

 

[gunNrun]

Klenke...
battling

 

[saluno22]

More uniform talk...
I actually liked the Astro-style jerseys.

 

[gunNrun]

Klenke...
Out?

2 down

 

[saluno22]

McLaughlin said the "candy-stripe socks" from a couple years ago made him "salivate". Greg didn't know how to respond: "Well... okay."

 

[gunNrun]

Angelo up to bat
gets the 3rd out


I'm not a uniform Nazi, I just like to know what they are wearing.

 

[RobsterMobster]

The new cream colored white on whites look pretty slick.

 

[gunNrun]

Like to coordinate my jerseys

[saluno22]

That's too bad on the sequence of events. But I do like that we are being more aggressive on the base paths.

 

[gunNrun]

Huskers up 5-3

 

[saluno22]

Some levity with Tezak hitting the deck when he thought he was going to get hit with a foul ball but the Wazzu fielder gloved it.

 

[gunNrun]

Top of the 9th
Huskers up 5-3 with 1 Out
Cougars pitching change

 

[gunNrun]

that's correct
Tezak, not the umpire

 

[gunNrun]

[donahues17]

Come on Huskers. Close it out.

 

[gunNrun]

Wilkenning batting with 2 outs, top of the 9th...

Hohensee ready in the bull pen

 

[saluno22]

Gotta say, Wilkening is finally performing like the player I hoped he would be when he came here after setting the record for most hits in Indiana (?).

 

[WC_'sker]

Husker hoops now up ... 52 to 47

Huskers changed D to a 2-3 zone, it's working. Long ways to go ... 12 minutes....
