HuskerJag FTW.
Epic comeback indeed. I love this team. Love it even more without the walks tho.
Yes. Nice to have a shot at the series win tomorrow, but 22 free passes in two games is brutal. Need to find the strike zone tomorrow.
Just so you know I liked your "epic comeback" prediction when we were still down 7-2!
