Thursday: Nebraska vs. Cal Poly (Huskers win 3-2)
- Thread starter RobsterMobster
- Start date
Mojo not starting tonight. Anxious to hear about Athey. I thought he had a good fall.
Top 1st
Altavilla with a leadoff single through the right side. Meyers grounds Altavilla out at SS but is safe on the FC. Schreiber singles to RF and puts runners on the corners. Failed pickoff attempt (E1) allows Meyers to score and Schreiber to get to 2nd on the overthrow! Miller flies out to RF but Schreiber tags up and heads to 3rd. A WP scores Schreiber from 3rd! Alvarado Ks.

Bottom 2nd
Leadoff HBP for Poly. Popup to 2nd for out #1. A single past 2nd puts runners on the corners. Next batter K's but a WP moves the runner to 2nd but the runner does stay at 3rd. Walk loads the bases. Groundout to 1st ends the threat.

Sadly enough he is 10 times better than the two Yahoos they had for the CSUB game on Tuesday.
Fully agree, at least wrt the PxP guy the other night. Seemed like he was a first timer (and alluded to it a couple times). The color guy sounded okay but was willing to let the PxP guy do his thing.
Top 5th
Schlepp walks with two outs. Poly's pitcher had retired 13 in a row up until that point. Cronenbold flies out to RF to end the frame.

He has but somehow finds a way out of it so far. His pitch count has to be getting pretty high though.
Bottom 7th
2 out single past 2nd for Poly. Jake McSteen now in to relieve Hohensee. The next batter singles to RF to put runners on the corners. RBI single to RF, runners on 1st and 2nd. WP advances the runners to 2nd and 3rd. Chopping RBI infield single to 3rd puts runners on the corners. Another pitching change for Nebraska as Robbie Palkert enters the game. I can't imagine Erstad wants what happened the other night when they decided not to pull a struggling pitcher. What is interesting is Erstad came out to pull the pitcher instead of Silva. Groundout to Palkert to end the inning.

Cronenbold with a leadoff walk and Altavilla moves him to 2nd on the SAC Bunt. Meyers walks. Schreiber Ks on what looked like an obvious ball. Poly then makes a call to the bullpen. Miller Ks.

2 out single up the middle for Poly. Palkert does strike out the side to end the inning.

Really thought for a while we were going to blow another one. Needed this one to get the bad taste out of their mouths from Tuesday.
It was nice seeing Erstad not waste anytime and pulling McSteen. Seems like they tend to leave them in but they have so many options so might as well just yank a guy if he shows his stuff isn't there that night.
I like how the pitching staff is coming together...the top three + Waldrop in midweek games should set us up nicely. But, is this possibly the worst Husker offense since the turn of the century?
Good win. We beat one of the country's best pitchers and we did it the right way. Jumped on him early, took advantage of their mistakes and pitched well enough to hang on to the win. Good game.
