It should be Hallmark I thought.  He is the CF who needs to lead the OF.  Maybe he heard Acker calling it, and Acker heard him calling it, but neither called it.

Cf is the general of the outfield. but wasn't the ball hit to rt more than cf?

It looked like right in the middle of the 2.  They both were there at about the same time.  At least it didn't cost us.

Keep chipping away (Acker bomb!!)  and keep holding them.  4 - 1 bottom of 3rd.

So it was a closer run for Acker than Hallmark?

[Bugeaters1]

4-1 Acker hits a TATER to CF.

 

[Bugeaters1]

We have 18 outs to work with. Ill. gets a run the bottom of 3 5-1

 

[Bugeaters1]

FUCKING GRAND TAMALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[brfrad]

We could chip away at the lead, or we could just hit a Grand Slam and tie it!!

[brfrad]

And, now take the lead!!

[Bugeaters1]

BACK TO BACK!!!! now can we get another one?

 

[Bugeaters1]

This guys ERA doesn't lie.

 

[Bugeaters1]

Schwelly hit a grand tamle and then Chick hits a dinger to make the score 6-5 Huskers nid 5

 

[brfrad]

Our defense has been a struggle this inning.  I thought Banjoff probably had a chance at the 1st ball, and Chick threw a 5 foot throw 20 feet, and Efry is no where near the ball when he should have been expecting bunt.

This team man... so much fight!

Dang... kept fighting back but couldn’t hold them off.  Need to take 2/3 tomorrow!

I think our pitching was a product of our opponents lack of offensive prowess.  We have not looked good this weekend on the mound.

[brfrad]

We have enough time to come back, but have a hole to work back from.  Illinois leads 5 - 2 top of 4th.

This park is like Okie st. park. play in a small park. I wonder if distances on the fence are right.

 

[Bugeaters1]

Matthews steals home. This a fun team to watch.

 

[Bugeaters1]

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!!!

After NU had been down 5-zip quickly, the Huskers stormed back to take the rubber match, 12-7, over the Illini.

I thought the same thing.  I wonder if the way it is situated makes it play small.  Kind of like TD Ameritrade plays big.  If they flip TD around I wonder if it would play small?  I'm hoping that's why our pitchers struggled was because of the ballpark.  Hopefully, they get it back this next weekend when we get back to a ballpark that seems more fair.

Sharp said that the field faces NE. Most fields face SE in the ones I have seen. It's no wonder Illinois hitters have high avgs. playing in the park. Gotta love how we scored some late inning runs this weekend.
