Northwestern State C Kelsey Richard has caught every inning for the Demons this season.

 

[saluno22]

Northwestern State was picked to finish last in the Southland Conference preseason poll out of 14 teams. And we lost to them yesterday.

 

[saluno22]

Dave van Horn coached at Northwestern State (1995-1997) before becoming the head coach at Nebraska (1998-2002).

 

[RobsterMobster]

I’ll give highlights on major scoring plays but for the sake of my phone battery I’ll keep it at that today. GBR!

 

[saluno22]

Like yesterday, Taylor (listed as 3B starter) and Watson (listed as 2B starter) for Northwestern State 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]

I don't recall the last time we had runners thrown out at home plate in consecutive days.

 

[RobsterMobster]

Random Recap: Nothing much through the first inning and a half. Matt Warren looking good on the mound and some missed opportunities in the bottom of the 1st.

 

[RobsterMobster]

I don't recall the last time we had runners thrown out at home plate in consecutive days.

Was just thinking the same thing.

 

[RobsterMobster]

Matt Warren gets out of a bases loaded jam to keep it scoreless heading to the bottom of the 3rd.

 

[saluno22]

GRAND SLAM into the wind!!! First HR of the season for Roskam!!!

6-0 Big Red in B3

 

[RobsterMobster]

The Huskers string together a few singles and a grand slam by Roskam gives the Huskers a cushy 6-0 lead and sends NSU to the bullpen.

 

[RobsterMobster]

I like these extra base hits. We should keep doing that.

 

[RobsterMobster]

Back to back innings of NSU hitting has quickly turned it into a 6-5 game. Heading to
The Bottom of the 5th.

 

[saluno22]

Giving up three 2-out runs is never good.

Sounds like Tillotson will be climbing the mound in the 6th for us.

 

[saluno22]

I stand corrected: Engelken will relieve Warren.

 

[RobsterMobster]

A single, an error and a SAC fly scores another one for the Huskers. 7-5 through 7!

 

[RobsterMobster]

Tillotson is now in to pitch the 8th and he strikes out the side!

 

[saluno22]

Hohensee gives up his first run of the season on a T9 1-out solo shot, brings the score to 7-6 Huskers.

 

[RobsterMobster]

Hohensee comes in to close it up. Does give up a HR otherwise gets the save and gives the Huskers a much needed 7-6 win!

 

[saluno22]

Nebraseball is now 15-0-1 in their last 16 Sunday games.
