Holy crap. Gotta hang on or this could be a season-crusher.

This would be an epic fail well beyond anything I have ever seen in any Husker game in any sport. There is just absolutely no killer mentality or sense of urgency on this team.

 

[bigboxes]

Huskers go down 1-2-3 in the Top 9th. Need three more outs to take the series.

COME ON GUYS! LET'S GOOOOO HUSKERS!!

Until today When was the last time Fisher pitched? Unusual to have him come in at that time.

I can understand bringing somebody like that in for a little work, but why don't you have anyone else ready in the bullpen?

 

[bigboxes]

Canzone flies out to left. ONE AWAY! Bot 9th, 1 out, runner on 1st.

LET'S DO THIS!

Good thing they got those insurance runs. Where is NU in the B1G standings?

Because we've burned through our bullpen basically playing 4 games in 3 days and the guy we would bring in is playing in the outfield? Ideally you wanted to give Alvarado time between innings to get warmed up better. Didn't get to listen to the whole game and I'm not sure who all we had available. The bottom line is that Erstad knew he had Alvarado if it came to that.

2nd a half game ahead of Michigan, Iowa,Purdue and Minnesota pending on Sunday games.

Terps definitely have the inside track to the regular season title, with only a road series at Illinois and a home series with Northwestern left. But if Illinois could somehow take that series from them next weekend, the race could get interesting.
