Purdue (33-23) vs. Nebraska (34-20) B1G Tourment Game Thread

[Bugeaters1]

Here we go.

 

[brfrad]

2 strikeouts in the 1st for our batters.  Same song.  Different verse.

 

Now, a home run for Purdue.  Down 1 - 0 after 1.

 

I'm trying to be optimistic,  but it doesn't look promising.

[brfrad]

Good reverse psychology!!!

[brfrad]

Well that inning was the most fun of the last 2 nights.

 

4 - 1 Big Red middle of 2nd.

[brfrad]

Our batters are so up and down.  We have a great approach one game.  The next game we look lost.  Just need more consistency. 

[brfrad]

5 - 2 Big Red middle of 3rd.

[brfrad]

If we had even better luck, we'd have a few more runs.  Hit a bunch of balls hard, but right at Purdue.

[brfrad]

Have to start getting to this pitcher.

[hskr4life]

UGHHHHH I thought that Swanson had his 2nd.

Me too!

Need at least 1 more inning from Sears.

If he can be efficient in this one, we could get 2 more out of him.  I'm not thinking he'll be pitching again until regionals, so I'd let him go as long as he has control, but not too long (as in bases loaded no outs too long).

I was just going to write that.

[brfrad]

Why????

[brfrad]

This is why I'm not a coach.

Still... Sears could probably give you one more inning.  Oh well.  Just win and worry about tomorrow tomorrow!

[brfrad]

So.  With nobody on base you can just step off to reset the pitch clock?

One time per batter.  2nd time it's a violation.

[hskr4life]

Christo has another inning like this and he'll be available Friday/Saturday/Sunday.

I misunderstood the rules.  I thought there had to be a runner on base.

[brfrad]

Finally got one. Pratt was living a pretty good life tonight.  We had probably 5 or 6 missiles right at fielders.

[brfrad]

Nice bounceback.  

[hskr4life]

Got the W.  Take the day tomorrow and then be ready to win 4 in 3.

[Huskerpapa]

Hard for me to take solace with the win tonight, after the train wreck of an opening game.  But, we play on.

[AuroranHusker]

A win is a win. GBR Always.

 

Tomorrow at 2 pm vs Indy or OSU.
