Nevada's roster is heavy in right-handed bats.

Edit: And their starting lineup is similar to ours: 6 righties, 2 lefties, and 1 switch hitter.

 

[saluno22]

Eddins will be starting tonight, not Alvarado as published in the OWH. Looking at the LJS, they had this right (or at least have updated to be correct).

Matt Waldron will start tomorrow, Alvarado on Saturday.

Eddins will go about 50 pitches tonight.

At the game and figured I’d watch our bullpen for curiosity sake. Mike Waldron was warming up. It was decided he was coming in regardless. Didn’t matter if he had his stuff or not. In fact nobody even watched him warm up. It was essentially a couple guys playing catch. Most the balls he threw were not strikes but nobody was in the dugout to take notice or mention it to the coaches. Nor did the coaches even ask. Found it interesting. Hopefully he pitches well because it seems to be based on luck with little strategy, if any.

 

[saluno22]

Anyone looking forward to Backyard Farmer?

 

[RobsterMobster]

3-3 after the 4th

Ha! My reverse jinx worked.

 

[saluno22]

That is Carter Cross's first hit since Game 1 on 10 March against Cal Poly (W 22-3) and the second hit of his career.

Interesting inning. This whole rally happened after the double play.

3-3 after the 4th

Ha! My reverse jinx worked.

After 4? Not so fast, my friend!!!

 

[RobsterMobster]

After 4? Not so fast, my friend!!!

It’s working. I started it after it was 3–1. Seems I found the secret jinx code.

 

[RobsterMobster]

Speaking of Husker Baseball fans. Where has @gunNrun been?

 

[saluno22]

It’s working. I started it after it was 3–1. Seems I found the secret jinx code.

Now I jinxed us. My bad.

 

[saluno22]

All knotted up, 4-4 B7 0 out

 

[saluno22]

And Nebraska ends their 34-inning streak dating back to 10 April (W 11-9 at Kansas State) of not leading against a non-conference opponent.

Schreiber is walked in.

5-4 Huskers, bases loaded, 1 out B7

 

[saluno22]

Infield single by Hallmark scores another.

6-4 Huskers, bases loaded, 1 out B7

Pitching change for Nevada.

 

[saluno22]

Another walked in, then a Hagge 2-RBI hit but Altavilla got gunned down trying to score from 1st.

Tillotson in to pitch for Nebraska.
