Freaking Gabe, what a beast. So glad he’s picking up where he left off.

 

[CornStars402]

What’s the rule on that HBP? I thought the batter stays but the pitch is a ball. Is the pitch counted as a strike now?

Tough play with Carey but really need that play to be made. Tucker going to feel that one tomorrow, nice outing from him. Come on bats let’s add a few here.

I was tabbed down for a minute at that time the ball hit him. But that sound was unmistakable. Ouch

Hope Timmerman is ok, right in the kisser.

Great first pump when he got up, crowd went nuts

Case with a nice drive to left with 2 outs but the left fielder made a great catch.

Luke Broderick in to close B9, Huskers 6-4

Usually HBP is an awarded base, but he leaned into so it's a strike.

 

[CornStars402]

For Sharpie baby! Great dub.

You know he’s smiling right now.

 

[mcbison]

Great bounce back from the guys! Was a well played game and nice to see Horn show some grit after how that first inning started for him.

Nebraska will look to bounce back from its 10-5 loss to UC Irvine on Opening Day yesterday. (And the streaming service and StatBroadcast will look to bounce back from their blowout defeats yesterday as well … but hey, it was Opening Day for everyone!)

The 24th-ranked (for now) ‘Skers are going up against 16th-ranked Vanderbilt. The ‘Dores are coming off a 4-3 win over Grand Canyon yesterday. They jumped out to a 4-0 lead and survived a 3-run rally in the 6th. GCU put the game-tying run on first base in the 7th and 9th but bounced into a game-ending double play.
