Sunday, February 20th: Nebraska at Sam Houston - (Huskers lose 6-3)
- Thread starter RobsterMobster
- Start date
It's a small sample size but I've been impressed with Banjoff in the leadoff spot. I was skeptical of the choice but he's seen a ton of pitches and is getting on base at a good clip.
Top 2nd
One out single for Everitt. Matthews bunts Everitt to 2nd. Caron walks. Anglim likes out to LF.
Bottom 2nd
After back to back Leadoff singles to start the frame Bragg is pulled from the game for Emmett Olson. First two batters go down in order but the runners do advance to 2nd and 3rd. The next batter is intentionally walked to load the bases. A WP scores a runner and moves the others to 2nd and 3rd. A seeing eye single scores two more runs. An RBI double scores another run. Fly out ends the inning.

10 total innings pitched by our starters in 4 games this weekend. That is as bad of a start as possible, hopefully it’s just early season jitters
Top 3rd
Another 1-2-3 inning for the 1-2-3 hitters.
Bottom 3rd
A one out single and a couple throwing errors put runners on 2nd and 3rd. A failed suicide squeeze leads to a pop up to the pitcher and an easy force out at 3rd. We may have lucked out of that inning.

Lots to work on after this weekend. Starting pitching was terrible, infield defense has been just as bad, and the offensive approach wasn’t very good either. No reason to panic but the boys have quite a bit of work to do.
Top 5th
1-2-3 for Nebraska again.
Bottom 5th
Leadoff single but the next two runners go down in order. Jaxon Jelkin now in to pitch his Husker debut for Olson and he gets Nebraska though the 5th

Leadoff single from Jessen but the Huskers do nothing with it to head to the bottom of the 6th.
Bottom 6th
A HBP, fly out, WP and a walk ends Jelkin’s day as Tyler Martin comes in to pitch. A groundout puts runners on 2nd and 3rd. Intentional walk loads the bases but a groundout to 1st ends the inning.

And he promptly goes 0-5, I'll go ahead and take a lap...
Only thing you can do after a weekend like that. I don't know for sure how good this team is, but I'm confident they're much better than they looked in Huntsville.
It’s hard for me to take much from this series. I know we are much better than that. I know it’s the first series of the year. I know Sam Houston isn’t a great team. Like you all said, scratch it and move on.
At least we didn't get swept by Portland...
There were a couple of bright spots, some concerning developments, and NU definitely got some of their early weaknesses exposed. It's time to learn from it all, adjust and move on to the next series.
I just don't believe Nebraska should be favored to win the conference this year.
Hopefully, they can shore up those shortcomings and start to develop throughout the season.
For RPI reasons it makes sense to root for them now. Assuming we continue to get better of course.
