Sunday: Nebraska vs. Minnesota (Huskers win 9-4)

Top 1st

2 out single for Altavilla but Miller ground into a inning ending 6-3 DP
 
Bottom 1st

Meyers on the mound for the Skers. Leadoff double to LF for Minny. Next batter flies out to LF, runner stays put. Next batter flies out to CF but the runner does advance to 3rd on the play. A groundout ends the inning and gets Nebraska out of the mini threat.
 
Looks like we're making some noise with less than 2 outs in Top 2. Something that was missing yesterday.
 
Top 2nd

Schreiber singles past SS to leadoff the inning! Alvarado with a single to CF puts runners on 1st and 2nd! Roskam takes a full count fastball and drills an RBI double to left center!!! Runners now on 2nd and 3rd! Mojo walks on a full count to load the bases! Wilkening with an RBI single to CF and the bases are still loaded!!! Schlepp grounds into a 4-6-3 DP but Roskam does score on the play and Mojo moves to 3rd. Meyers is HBP to put runners on the corners. Altavilla with a hard fly out to CF to end the damage at 3 runs.
 
Just tracking the PxP, did the Meyers HBP seem intentional? I think that's two weeks in a row he's been HBP early in a game he's been pitching.

Donno but do know Minnesota cheats. Their 2nd baseman tried to cheat for a DP the other day. Ump disallowed it.

Michigan beat Indiana 12-5
Maryland leads MSU 5-1 bottom 6th. Threatens to sweep.
Rutgers clobbering Iowa 13-5 bottom 5th. Gonna win the series.
 
Bottom 4th

Leadoff single to RF for Minnesota. Another single puts runners at the corners. 3 run HR for Minnesota (ouch that hurt). Another HR makes it a one run game, ugh. Single to LF for the 5th straight batter to reach base after Meyers had retired the previous 9. Fly out to RF to get the 1st out followed by a line drive out to LF. Groundout to end the bleeding.
 
Bottom 5th

Two out single up the middle for Minny. Single up the middle puts runners on 1st and 2nd. flybout to CF ends the threat.
 
Top 6th

Leadoff single to CF for Alvarado. Roskam singles to RF to put runners on 1st and 2nd! Hagge tries to bunt on 3 strikes and fails to do so for out #1. Wilkening flies out to RF. Schlepp grounds out to SS to blow a great scoring opportunity for the Huskers.

At the game---husker fans dumbfoundedby having mojo try to bunt with 2 strikes, when he didn't look comfortable on the first 2 tries. Just dumb....,
 
Bottom 6th

Meyers back out to pitch which is pretty risky considering how lucky he was to get through the 5th. Leadoff infield single for Minnesota. Another single to RF puts runners on 1st and 2nd. After failing to get the SAC bunt down the next batter hits into a 4-6-3 DP! A K ends the inning!!! Huge for Meyers to get through that jam and the gamble pays off.

We need to take advantage of this.

Any details on the "Ben Miller single to first; Altavilla advanced to second"?
Ben hit a ground ball up the first base line, the guy froze Meyers at third but didn't bother to step on the bag, or tag Miller. Kind of a brainfart I guess?

Top 7th

Meyers leads off with a single through the left side! Altavilla with a single to RF puts runners on the corners! Pitching change for Minnesota. Miller reaches on a FC as no throw was ever made due to the Minny defender trying to hold Meyers on 3rd, bases loaded because he tried to hold the runner too long and never made a play on Miller. Schreiber Ks but a WP scores Meyers from 3rd, runners advance to 2nd and 3rd! Alvarado is intentionally walked to load the bases and put the force out on at every bag. Roskam with an infield popup for out #2. Mojo flies out to CF.
 
Bottom 7th

Robbie Palkert now in to relieve Meyers and he pitches a 1-2-3 inning! Roskam had a nice snag at 3rd for the 2nd out.
 
Bottom 8th

One out infield single for Minnesota. Next batter is HBP. Chad Luensmann now in to pitch. Hard fly out to CF. pinch hitter in for Minny. K ends the inning!

Getting through that inning with a big sigh of relief. Insurance run or two would be great here.
 
Not a recruiting reference this time, but. . .

Top 9th

Miller with a one out single through the right side. Schreiber singles through the left side and Miller goes 1st to 3rd, Schreiber takes 2nd on the throw to 3rd. Alvarado reaches on an E6, advances to 2nd! Miller scores on the error and Schreiber scores because the ball went out of play so he's given the free pass on the dead ball play. Pitching change for Minnesota. Roskam Ks. Mojo with an RBI single through the right side!!! Wilkening singles to CF, runners on 1st and 2nd! Schlepp out to end the damage.
