Friday, April 30th: Rutgers at Nebraska - (Huskers lose 9-4)

Huge game! Rutgers will give us fits. Need to be able to sacrifice and avoid errors to win 2 or 3.
 
Top of the 6th, Iowa adds a run stretching their lead over Indiana to 5-3. With one on, no outs, Iowa singles to right, ball finds grass then a glove. Ball bounces off the glove and past the outfielder. Runner gets home, batter to 2nd. Indiana's 3rd error of the game.

Not sure if I would have left in a pitcher the hit a guy then walked a guy then hits another guy. But hopefully the bats wake up down 3in the 8th.
 
Friday night guy, up 3-2 and pulled after 5 innings with 75 pitches? Goodness that's atrocious. About as bad as a .205 LHH starting against a LHP.
 
Eh, the bullpen had been money for a while, this was a bizarre and sickening performance but unexpected. More disappointed with the continued ho-hum results at the plate, 2 home runs notwithstanding.
