Kansas St. (5-5) vs. Nebraska (4-5) Frisco College Baseball Classic

[brfrad]

This day just gets better and better.

[AuroranHusker]

Whelp, now behind 8-5.

[brfrad]

We get to the LSU starter for 5 runs on 6 hits for the 1st 3 innings.  He is still in there through 6.  We have 1 hit since then.  A soft infield single.

[AuroranHusker]

Spoke too soon, now behind 10-5.

 

[brfrad]

It sounds like LSU getting some home cooking.

Hi hum just another day in Husker athletics. Gosh I sometimes wonder why God made me love this athletic program so much.

[brfrad]

These radio guys are ripping into the home plate umpire.   Can't see it, so tough to comment.  They did mention LSU's coach has lengthy discussions with the home plate ump between innings.  Seems to be working.

The football team in the 90's eases a little of my pain.

I can remember watching but I can’t “remember” due to age at the time.  Sadly 

[brfrad]

We have enough starting pitching.   Now, need to find some bullpen arms, and bats.  This schedule should allow us a chance to get to the upper 30's in the win column for a chance to host.

They’ve been complaining all game. During innings, after a review. Between frames.

[brfrad]

Through 9 games, we have only 4 errors, all by pitchers.  That will serve us well, if we can keep that up.

Disappointing after getting that great start, but LSU can really score. How UNO no-hit them for almost 8 innings last week might be the biggest mystery since why NU hoops can't seem to decide to start playing until they're down by 15-20 pts.

 

Nunez continues to be a major bright spot - nice to see Frost get going, too. Surprised by Sanderson's slow start. We need him to have a big year.

 

I have no idea what the coaches see in Clark. Of course, considering how the guys performed after him -- outside of Jasa's one good inning -- probably wouldn't have mattered much.

 

Huge, huge game tomorrow. Come home with another non-winning weekend, and our regional hosting chances are almost certainly gone. Unfortunately, K-State is rolling after a tough first weekend. We'll have to earn it. Need Brockett & Christo to be brilliant. Wouldn't surprise me if we get Worthley for a couple lefty batters if it's tight and ask Broderick to go multiple innings. 

 

Sounds like Mac felt a little tweak last night - with pitchers, that's not good. Hopefully he felt it early enough and shut things down before any injury occurred. Hoping for the best - we definitely need him.

Spoke way too soon.  We have basically given up trying to hit since the 4th inning of the LSU game 

[brfrad]

The 1st 12 innings this weekend 13 runs on 18 hits.  The past 12 innings 2 runs on 8 hits.

[brfrad]

BTW the score is 8 - 1 KSU in the top of the 7th.

[AuroranHusker]

KSU 9-4 after 8 inn.

 

[AuroranHusker]

Now 9-6 in the 9th after a 2-run inside-the-park HR by Nunez.

 

[AuroranHusker]

Final, Nebraska lost 9-6.

 

[hskr4life]

Just a disaster of a first few weekends. Hopefully we forget about things like rankings and hosting and just go out and play ball now. We can still be a really scary two seed but we’re going to need bats and we’re going to need Mason.

[brfrad]

Their pitchers combined to walk 0 batters.  Our pitchers combined to walk 8 batters.
