1 game at a time and pour it on.  That is all.

Bryce not in the starting lineup.  Crap

Awesome song!  Jeff Lynne wrote this about his struggles with depression.

[AuroranHusker]

It's 2-2, mid 3rd. Nebraska's already left on base 7!! Purdue thus far, none.

 

 

[Bugeaters1]

Where is Brice?

I posted something from twitter earlier, essentially he has the day off.

Nebraska gets out of a bases loaded jam with no damage, now it's NU with 8 LOB, while PU is up to 6.

 

And, now, Gabe Swansen jacks a 3-run HR to put the Huskers up 5-2 with 1 out in the top of the 7th inn. GBR

Need to get out of the sticky situation here 

[AuroranHusker]

And, now, Nebraska allows PU to load the bases (again) with only 1 out. Shay's in for Hawkins, who had surrendered a double, single & then a walk.

Shayyyy was cooking

[AuroranHusker]

NU gets that run back, now 6-3, in top of the 8th inn.

 

Now, Max Anderson hits a 3-run HR to push the lead to 9-3! GBR

[AuroranHusker]

NU with 7 runs in the 7th & 8th innings combined to break away from a 2-2 tie. Keep it rollin', Big Red!

Good night, so far.  A late 6 run lead with Brice getting a night off to rest his back.  

[Bugeaters1]

 

[AuroranHusker]

Good to see Charlie Fischer come through with a top of the 9th inn. HR to push the lead to 10-4. GBR

 

 

[AuroranHusker]

Now it's Kyle Perry's turn to help Shay, as Shay did for Hawkins. It's currently 10-5, 2 outs, bases loaded. Let's wrap it up, Big Red.

 

 

[Bugeaters1]

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!!!!

 

[AuroranHusker]

Huskers nab their 30th win of the season, and its 5th straight win! GBR

 

 

[AuroranHusker]

Crazy stat:

 

Through the first 3 inn. it was Nebraska with 7 LOB, and Purdue had none.

In the final six innings, it was Nebraska with 1 LOB, and Purdue TWELVE!

5 in a row!  Nice!!

Nice win - good to see PU's coach get the boot. What a putz.

 

Excellent management of our pitching staff tonight. Guessing we're going to see some guys who haven't thrown much this year once Jace gets 4-5 innings tomorrow, so will need the bats to be rolling again.

 

I believe we tied the team HR record for a season tonight at 93. Pretty crazy when you think about what everyone thought this team's offensive strengths would be before the season. Love seeing Swanson make PU pay for walking Max. What an idiotic move by PU's coach. On top of the idiotic move of leaving his starter out there with 120+ pitches to face NU's 2-3-4 hitters the 4th time through the order. Did I mention that PU's coach is a putz?

By the way, Friday's game is now at noon Central so they can try to beat the rain. Funny how PU is willing to move some games around when they need to play.

 

NU should refuse to allow the time change.
