I don’t know if I’ve ever seen an ITP grand slam...
I’ve never seen it at the college level. Once had it happen in high school back in the day. Not by me but a teammate of mine. That’s why I love this game. Every time you think you’ve seen it all baseball happens.

One thing that frustrates me to no end is how this team consistently bunts straight back to the pitcher. Bunting as a whole isn’t easy but the one part completely within the batters control is the right-to-left angle of the ball off the bat. Grrr.

Probably the best sacrifice of the year and it was all for naught (for the record it wouldn't have be an RBI on the the E-5).

Thanks for picking this up, been nuts at work for me.

I 2nd this. Between work, new baby, kids sports, I’m surprised I haven’t lost my fan card yet.

Kind of funny...
I was inactive yesterday to make sure I had time for today.
I get home today, and there's nothing ready on the board.
I'm thinking `April Fools?....
keep refreshing the page, thinking my connection is bad. Laughing
All is good!

HUSKERS win!

I’m impressed with the mentality of this team. They got rolled by Oregon State and came back to beat Texas Tech and W/C/S beat Sam Houston.

They lose two heartbreakers In Minneapolis, bus back in the wee hours and then get on another bus to the Little Apple. What to they do? Jump all over KSU and win by a touchdown.

Baseball is The Great Game Of Failure and these guys seem to thrive on coming back from it.

Agreed. I said earlier in the year that is one thing I noticed. They me be too young to even notice. Playing like you have nothing to lose is a good feeling though.
 
Another Nebraska blurb from D1Baseball today.

• Nebraska continues to play at an impressive level, beating Kansas State 7-0 on the road. Kyle Perry had a strong start for the Huskers, striking out three, walking one and allowing just three hits in seven shutout innings.

 
Bo Blessie in to pitch, a bigtime recruit from Texas which I have been told is literally impossible to do in the Big 10 :eek:
Now if only all legacies can have kids down south and have them go to Lincoln despite being drafted, we’d be in business! I’m an Erstad fan, but we got pretty lucky all the connections there including DE and BB having the same agent.

I don’t see how having the right connections is somehow luck.
