Knew how this one was going to end. Just like clockwork-same result every time Darin Erstad vs Iowa.
 
Put in someone besides Palkert for the love of god. I can inky watch him give up base hots for so long. You have 2 innings to pitch. I feel terrible for Waldron.

What is Erstad record against them? I know we split last year in Lincoln and now NU hasn’t won any of the last 4 games there..

Odd how each of our conference losses were walk-off. Anyway, I'm sick of it.
Amen to that. On one hand, it’s good that we are a few at bats away from being 13-0. On the other, it’s bad that we are 0-3 in tight games.
 
And, just like clockwork, Truehuskerfan reappears on the board after a close loss to complain.

Well, if we are on the outside looking in come June at least we can take solace in the fact that most of our losses were “close.”

Win the next two or my concern this is the beginning to the dreaded Erstad slump.
