No promotional giveaways today.

Probably no win today either.

Probably no win today either.

On the bright side, the game appears to be on NET today. So more people locally can watch us lose.

Strong wind out to right

 

[saluno22]

43F, wind chill is 33F. Wow.

 

[saluno22]

Fisher going with bare arms again today.

 

[saluno22]

What a cluster of T1. Not even going to bother posting a summary.

 

[RobsterMobster]

Roskam should be benched after that lack of effort to backup 1st.

 

[HuskersNC]

With the wind blowing so hard, Nebraska can probably luck into some runs today. Too bad we need an act of God to generate anything offensively, but here we are.

 

[kidofSN]

Hate to say this and hate to be right but this is not a good team and it is becoming the norm! Still hoping they can win this one! Bottom of the first very important now!

2-0 Illinois after 1

 

[Truehuskerfan]

We were robbed of a run. Anybody know if there is replay review? Sounds like it was a pretty obvious bad call.

 

[HuskersNC]

Both Illinois pitchers have really struggled to find the strike zone. That's weird.

It was bang bang for sure but I do think he was safe. At the end of the day it was a bad approach at the plate. You know you have a guaranteed run at 3rd and still he sets up a double play opportunity with that approach.

 

[Truehuskerfan]

Yet another golden opportunity-wasted. Walk the bases loaded and get one run on a sac fly. We can't buy a key base hit right now. They are practically trying to give us runs and we aren't taking them.

 

[saluno22]

Oh look, we scored one run after getting bases loaded with no outs on no hits and left the bases loaded...

 

[HuskersNC]

Failed to execute the squeeze play correctly, not surprised :/ I'd be surprised if Illinois continues to be this generous on the mound, but we shall see.

 

[saluno22]

Thrilling action in B4.

Sharpe: "How many players have a last name that is also a color?"

Exhilarating talk.

I laughed when Greg said the amount of names they've come up with was actually the best thing that's happened all game we suck

3-2 Illinois after 6

Fisher has settled in well but still isn’t getting the run support to make up for the early inning runs.

Not seeing it on the Huskers.com stats sheet, but after 4 innings, we had stranded 7.

 

[RobsterMobster]

Huge opportunity here with runners on 2nd and 3rd and one out in the bottom of the 7th.

 

[RobsterMobster]

3-3 after a sac fly ties the game. Heading to the bottom of the 7th.

 

[HuskersNC]

Illinois with 9 walks now? At least 1 HBP. Looking like they'll hand us this one.

 

[saluno22]

Acker full-count, 1-out RBI single scores Palenski from 2nd for the first walkoff win of the season.

4-3 Nebraska, FINAL.

 

[Truehuskerfan]

Finally-we get a walk-off.

 

[RobsterMobster]

Finally Nebraska wins I won a walk off single through the left side! 4-3

Say what you will about the offense (and it was ugly again) but that’s a huge win. Hopefully, it’s a confidence booster and a series win is on deck.

Praying you're right. They weren't good today at the plate, but they manufactured a run when they needed it.

 

[huskerfan66]

Good deal. Salvageable series and would be huge

 

[k9_r]

For me this was a very satisfying win. To win in walk-off fashion on a miserable day for baseball and in the face of so much self inflicted adversity showcased the fight in these guys. I'm happy for them.

Found an interesting stat regarding our ERA
