Let's go Horns!!!

 

[HuskerNKingwood]

Preston Clark doubles to lead off the Texas sixth, and Anderson's gonna make a pitching change.

 

[HuskerNKingwood]

lefty Dan Jennings was the man that came in out of the pen. After that...

Russell fouls out on a great play by Sullivan
Rupp Ks
McCrory Ks

6-4 after 6.

 

[HuskerNKingwood]

Top of 7, and the Huskers already have a run. Texas going to the pen.

Nimmo reaches on an error.
Johnston doubles, Nimmo scores on a hit and run.
Kline bunt single.

Walker coming in for Texas. 7-4 in the 7th, runners on first and third.

 

[warrior]

10 to 4 Neb, not even a game

 

[HuskerNKingwood]

Texas going to the bullpen again, because Nebraska has put up some more runs.

Johnston scores on a wild pitch, Kline advances to second.
Belfonte walks
Kline out at third on wild pitch, Belfonte to second
Mort flies out, Belfonte to third
Opitz walks
Abeita 2 RBI double

10-4, Texas going to the pen

 

[warrior]

6 walks by UT pitchers, 3 hit batters, an error and 12 hits given up that equals ugly.

 

[warrior]

Walker has had little success this year pitching.

 

[HuskerNKingwood]

Whitmer came in for Texas, and strikes out Sullivan to end it.

10-4, seventh inning stretch.

 

[CajunHorn]

Thanks Husker...for the updates, not the *** beating.

 

[2xHORN]

It boggles my mind that Walker keeps going in there, now his ERA is over 10 I'm sure, and Drew Bishop doesn't even get a shot at a weekday game.

HOOKEM

 

[HuskerNKingwood]

any time. whenever this game gets done, I'll be rooting for u guys in the basketball game.

 

[HuskerNKingwood]

Quick 7th inning.

Hernandez Ks
Torres flies to left.
Tucker grounds to second.

Huskers in control. 10-4 after 7.

 

[HuskerNKingwood]

Texas going to the pen once again because the Huskers have plated two 8th inning runs.

Corriston singles...
and advances to second on a wild pitch
Nimmo Ks
Johnston singles, RBI
Kline doubles, advances to third on error, Johnston scores

12-4 in the 8th, Huskers still batting.

 

[2xHORN]

12-4 Corn(holing).

Congrats Nebraska. This could be a loooong season for us.

HOOKEM

 

[cochamps]

Our pitchers are really scuffling. No one can get hitters out on a consistent basis. I am just hoping to avoid the brooms at this point. Maybe we'll get a decent start in at least one of the other games...

 

[Seattle Husker]

13-4 NU.

I don't like our chances to get UT tomorrow though.

 

[Seattle Husker]

14-4 NU heading to the bottom of 8. Not that anyone cares anymore.

 

[HuskerNKingwood]

Thomas came in for Texas, and the Huskers kept scoring.

Belfonte double, RBI
Belfonte advances to third on wild pitch
Mort pops up to second
Opitz walks
Abeita single, RBI
Sullivan Ks
Now in the bottom of 8, and it's a laugher. 14-4 Huskers.

 

[HuskerNKingwood]

Another quick up and down inning for Texas.

Danks grounds out to first
Belt flies out to deep center
Clark grounds out to third

14-4 Huskers after 8.

 

[CajunHorn]

I do not mean to detract from Nebrasky in any way, but we've got problems.

 

[HuskerNKingwood]

agree. love that we are winning, but this to me does not look like your typical Augie Garrido baseball team.

 

[HuskerNKingwood]

Huskers go quietly in the 9th.

Farst strikes out
Stewart strikes out
Neer grounds out

14-4, going to the bottom of 9.

Good luck in the basketball game.

 

[Austin Orange]

Defense was ugly. Several passed balls for stolen bases and a score. 3 errors. Dropped a pop that would have been an error but saved by the infield fly rule, a few other plays that were not ruled errors but were bad defense.

The worst play was a bunt that someone (Clark? maybe) screamed to let go foul. It was a weak bunt and would have easily been an out. It stayed fair. Single. Boos all around.

Kyle Russell still struggles at the plate but had a badass catch in LF.

Clark had some bright spots (threw out 2 stealing) but had 3 passed balls resulting in a run and a few stolen bases. His bat was good.

The defensive changes I guess need some time to gel. They all looked a little uneasy out there. I wonder if they think they are playing for their jobs now?

 

[accuratehorn]

UGH. What a horrible game. Hit batters, walks, errors, misplayed balls. A parade of largely ineffective pitchers.
Not what we have gotten used to watching for so many years from the Horns. Nothing to feel good about.
This team could round into form by the end of the year, but right now they would go nowhere in a playoff situation.

 

[Endust]

3 more errors?

 

[warrior]

Right now Nebraska and Missouri are looking pretty strong with great pitching. UT could turn it around but right now they do not look like a team capable of reaching Omaha. Inconsistent especially pitching and poor defense, that is why they are 4 - 3 in the Big 12.

 

[WorsterMan]

wow, I know huskers are good this season, but what in the wide-wide world of sports isa goin' on augie? Last night I heard the score and at first thought it must be wrong.... 14-4?
