31 March 2019 Game 22 (DH-2): Nebraseball at Minnesota (Minnesota wins 3-2)

Hopefully Coach Erstad can get his 101st conference win and take this series!
 
I believe Creighton Prep graduate Josh Culliver is the Game 3 starter for Minnesota.

Darn, pair of near-misses on HR-distance shots down the line by Hagge and Altavilla. Radio makes it sound like they each missed the pole by a foot or two.

I'm just happy to see that things haven't changed and Mark Hutchinson is still a horrible umpire.

Wowzers, sounds like one heckuva stab by Cam Chick.

That's like the 3rd double play of the game by NU.

Finally able to check in on some scores. Hoping we don’t have another extra inning loss and we can steal this series. Roskam finally woke his bat up this series which is great to see.

What a depressing way for that game to end with a pair of uncaught 3rd strikes. SMH.
 
Both teams had opportunities to win games 1 and 3 but one team took advantage of those opportunities and the other didn’t.

Anyone watching the video feed what was with a Roskam? Was there that much spin on the ball or was he just struggling that much that last half inning?

He isn't a particularly good defensive catcher.
 
Just found the replay...
The last one, the throw was to Roskam's right and low.
Did not look like a thrown strike.
Luke tried to catch by his right foot. Got away.

That's what I'm seeing.

For Erstad to ever take this program to another level, he has to figure out how to consistently finish series like this. First few years it seemed like we bunted way too often. Today, in terrible hitting weather, he decided small ball wasn’t an option. Would have helped having Chad and Spencer this weekend, but the huskers just handed game 3 to an average at best Gopher team.

They said Luensmann was available, which I kind of question since Schreiber was warming behind Schanaman.
