Friday Game 2: Nebraska vs Utah (Huskers lose 7-5)

[TheHuskeRed]

Raburn again slides and stops a ball but is not nimble enough to get up and make the throw

 

[saluno22]

Feels like a continuation of last year.

Now we've left the bases loaded in 3 of 4 innings today. And twice they were loaded with less than 2 out.

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Check swing for strike 3 and the first out. Fisher still looks great.

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Can Of corn to center and the second out.

 

[gunNrun]

Going to the bottom of the 5th
Utah - 3
Nebraska -1

 

[TheHuskeRed]

And Fisher picked off the runner trying to steal for out three

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Alvarado leads off the bottom of five with a shot to center right at the outfielder for out one.

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Schleppenbach then pops up. Swung at ball 4 on a 3-1 count. SMH

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Raburn finally gets on by beating out a grounder to short

 

[gunNrun]

Finally something good happens for Raburn

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Child's gets some good cuts and walks on a full count ... I like him for our starting catcher so far this year.

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Pitching change

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Very tall left handed now on the mound for them Joshua Tedeschi

 

[TheHuskeRed]

I know it's early and middle infielders are defensive specialists but our two have very little offensive skills and will be a real thorn if they can't turn it around at least a little.

 

[gunNrun]

Huskers tie the game
3 ALL
Angelo!

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Altivillabwith a shot to left field for a double to tie or up 3-3

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Meyers pressing at the plate strikes out.

 

[gunNrun]

End of 5 Innings
Nebraska 3
Utah 3

 

[huskerbaseball13]

Altavilla making a case to move up in the lineup. Three for three on the night now

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Finally we cash in on all of the runners we have had. Bottom of the order AGAIN doing most of the damage for us.

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Single to short (nice stop but can't make the throw)

 

[RobsterMobster]

Finally we cash in on all of the runners we have had. Bottom of the order AGAIN doing most of the damage for us.

Ironically enough it's with 2 outs and nobody on that we score both of those runs. Weird baseball game.

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Double play miller steps on first and guns down to second.

 

[gunNrun]

Defense!!!
Double play

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Impressed with Fisher on the mound. Getting lots of ground balls and keeping the ball low.

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Jinxed him ... walks the next guy.

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Visit to the mound

 

[gunNrun]

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Action in the bullpen

 

[saluno22]

I might have to spend the rest of this game on the can if that's what happens! Glad we finally capitalized.

 

[TheHuskeRed]

On a full count the next batter singles to the opposite field putting runners at the corners

 

[gunNrun]

Reece Eddins going to the mound

 

[TheHuskeRed]

That's it for Fisher. Pitching change to Reese Eddins

 

[TheHuskeRed]

This team needs to get out of this jam and find a way to win this one. Needing a confidence boost IMHO.

 

[gunNrun]

Reece!

 

[TheHuskeRed]

So with 2 on and 2 out the next batter for Utah strikes out. Huge.

 

[gunNrun]

Going to the bottom of the 6h Inning

3 to 3 tie

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Eddins broke off several tremendous curve balls in that at bat. Child's is a superb defensive catcher and they trust him back there with some curves in the dirt and runners on.

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Mojo looked overmatched in that at bat ... strikes out

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Miller strikes out for out two. Top of the order not getting it done.
