Eddins works a 1-2-3 1st.

Hellstrom reaches on a two-out base hit but is left stranded.
 
Acker draws a leadoff walk.

Chick then grounds into a 3-6-3 double play, but he is eventually ruled safe at 1B due to indifference on the pitcher.

Altavilla pops out to 3B on a failed hit and run.

Hagge rips a single to CF to put two on with two out.

Hallmark Ks to end the threat.
 
Eddins hits the leadoff man on an 0-2 pitch.

Following an F-6 Troike works a one-out walk.

Massey rips an RBI double down the LF line. NU guns down a runner at the plate 7-6-2 for out number two.

A one-out single and a homer from Yalowitz makes it 3-0 Illinois in the top of the 4th.
 
Eddins allows a leadoff walk. The next batter puts down a SAC bunt which Eddins throws away. Runners at the corners with nobody out.
 
Massey pops out on the infield. Pitching change for NU, Shay Schanaman is now in the game.
 
Schanaman has what should be a K, but the 1B umpire has his eyes closed during a check swing so he setlles for a pop out behind the plate.

The runner steals 2nd but an F-7 ends the threat.
 
Schwellenbach reaches on a one-out HBP and eventually advances on an E-1 with two outs.

Illinois continues to get some assistance from this awful umpiring crew.
 
We're not playing very good baseball with some bad baseball at times thrown in.
 
A one-out double and a two-out flare single plate another run for Illinois.
 
I'm not sure that we've seen a worse plate umpire all year.

Schanaman gets a K to end the top of the 6th.
 
Roskam (down 0-2) reaches on a HBP on a ball that bounces up to him.

Acker follows with an infield single.

Chick Ks looking for out number one.
 
Following a WP that moves both runners Altavilla Ks on another slider down the heart of the plate.

Hagge follows with an RBI single, but Acker is tagged out after he slips trying to stop after rounding 3rd...

Illinois leads 4-1 after 6.

Mike Waldron comes in and works around a two-out walk and a SB to toss a scoreless 7th.
 
Henwood (hitting for Hallmark) works a leadoff walk.

Schwellenbach pops out to RF.

Palensky draws a one-out walk.

Mound visit (Sean Leland into the game)
 
Huskers pull off an easy double steal on Leland's first pitch of the game.

Hellstrom pops out to shallow RF for the second out.
 
Would looking at strike three down the middle twice and then having a runner tagged out at 3rd to end the inning qualify as bad baseball?
Tripped my trigger.

Good news, baseball just got better. Ha!
 
This Reggie Jackson guy is the reincarnation of Bob Homolka behind the plate.
