A chance at a “get right” series at the plate.  A lot for both teams to play for.

 

Huskers still have a legit shot to win the B1G and MSU a legit shot to make it to Omaha.

 

very much a chance that these two teams could meet in the 1st round in Omaha as well.

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!!! 1 Down 2 to go.

Did what we needed to do.  Bats were off, but Sears and Clark combine to give up just 1 run.

[throwback]

Great win - but my goodness do we have to get the bats going. I'm not sure how many more 2-1 games i can survive.

 

Too bad PU couldn't help us - maybe tomorrow.

 

The turnaround with Clark is nothing short of incredible.

Sweep and hope that the Boiler turds can take 1.

Hopefully, this strike zone is this big for Mason.

[brfrad]

This is more like it.

[Bugeaters1]

Huskers not messing around today.

Nice job Mason, and the infield.

[brfrad]

Silva hit em where they are.  That hurt.  Keep the pressure on them.

[brfrad]

Nice inning.  NU leads 5 - 0 after 3.

[brfrad]

A little nervousness in the middle innings, but we cash in this time with the bases loaded to push the lead back to 5.

[brfrad]

Another run added.  9 - 3 middle of 8

[brfrad]

This would be a good spot for Perry to try to get his confidence back.

[Bugeaters1]

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!! Now on the to sweep.

Let's go Purdue!!

[hskr4life]

Great job all the way around tonight.  Put em away like a good team does.

[throwback]

Glad to see the bats punish their bullpen and to start quick against a really good lefty. Rinse and repeat for tomorrow, please.

I don't think we'll do this but I'm starting Walsh today since we don't control our own destiny. I'm saving Brockett to start Tuesday

 

The way MSU's pitching staff has been going lately, we probably can get 10+ runs again today, so might as well start Walsh and take our chances. Walsh mowed down MSU last year, so he may have their number. If we start Brockett on Tuesday, Sears & Mac stay close to their normal rest next week, and Brockett should be able to come back in the championship on Sunday.

 

Besides, I don't think PU will try at all today. They'll definitely not use any of their best arms vs Illinois - other than it being senior day, this game means nothing to PU, so they'll try to set themselves up to make a run next week. Plus, they're PU baseball, so anything they can do to screw over NU, they'll do it.

 

I don't think we'll do this either, but if we start Brockett today, I'm starting Walsh Tuesday for the same reasons. I also like Walsh in that big ballpark.

 

Don't think we'll do either one, though.  That's probably why I'm not coaching.

Unknown what MSU does today.  Nothing to play for, so it could be a pack it in game or they could rally as this ends their season.

[brfrad]

One team is looking like they are playing for a Championship.   The other looks like they are going through the motions, again. 

 

Why do we have games like this against a mediocre pitcher?

We found out that answer.

 

Their 5.50 ERA pitcher has given up 1 hit (an infield single) in 5 innings.

[brfrad]

We get back in the game, and now our bullpen is imploding again.
