Texas Tech knocks off Missouri 3-2. That series is now even.

Texas A&M beats Kansas 9-6 in 10 innings,  winning that series.

Oklahoma State came back to beat Kansas State, 9-4, series now even.

Oklahoma beats Baylor, 3-2 in 10 innings, winning that series.

gets home field cooking already, as there is a run down at second base. The runner is eventually tagged out, but then given the base as about 15 minutes later, as the umps call a balk.

turns out on the reply it is correct, but they waited until an entire rundown play had taken place to make the call.

much action so far.

Optiz has picked up an error on a throwing error to first, otherwise, the pitchers are shutting them down for now

gets the first base hit of the game for the Huskers, now 4-4 in the series.

Kline up next. top of the third, one out, 0-0.

Kline hits into a double play.

poop

on the replay, the Husker runner Kline was safe.

bad call.

lead-off guy gets on base for Texas. that's not a good sign.

of the third, Texas gets the lead-off guy all the way to third, but that's it, he's stranded there.

too bad. :)

of the fifth now.

Kyle Russell draws a walk to get on base - he's the lead off guy.

and then he's thrown out at second - sac bunt didn't work for the horns.

throws out out the Texas dude at second, caught stealing, after a pitch out, great timing, even though the pitch out was high.

nabs a center field fly.

going to the sixth,0-0.

Kline hits what should have been a sure double.

went past second, then bounced on the turf, and twisted his knee weird, going down.

he's put out.... crap, what a bad break.

although he's up, now, walking back toward the dugout.

gets a double with two outs, so maybe something can happen here.

Mort's sixth double of the season. Damn, if Kline hadn't twisted his knee, we'd have a run.

Optiz gets a free trip to first.

Pitching coach has come out, and Abeita comes to the plate. We need you know, man!

gets a base hit up the middle after driving the pitch count to 3-2.....

hit perfectly, and drives in a run, Abeita safe at first, so we have runners at the corners.

Craig Corriston!

hits a long fly to left, the fielder doesn't get to it!

drives in another run, two guys in scoring position yet, and texas hasn't changed pitchers.

The Nebraska - Texas game is actually on the tube today!  Great seeing Big-12 baseball on television.  I saw the Huskers take the 2-0 led.

Kansas lost a tough one today.  They led 3-1 and 6-3 during the game but in the end could not close the deal.  Just the same, the team looked pretty good today and it was a nice, if cold, day at the park.

Texas Tech is a pretty scrappy team.  Baylor seems to have entered bizzaro world.  For a month they could do no wrong.  Last two weeks it seems like they couldn't score with a roll of hundreds at the Mustang Ranch.

is about done....

thrown about 73 pitches at the bottom of the seventh, just gave up a walk to Brandon Belt.

retires the side in the seventh, getting Russell to fly out.

You have to believe he's done now, since this game is at 2-0.

We do a damn good job on defense and pitching of getting ourselves out of jams.

still out there.

2-0 lead, bottom of the eighth inning.

still striking people out....

third strike out at 93 pitches in the bottom of the 8th.

Whoeee!

another strike out!

two out, bottom of the eighth

first five innings he didn't have a single K.

retires the side, with two K's, and an easy ground out

man, Eric Newman was quite the hire, wasn't he?

Nebraska goes for the sweep tomorrow.  Weber owned the Horns today.  Are the Huskers really this good?

A complete game for Thad Weber.

Shuts out the Texas Longhorns, only allowing two hits.

Holy Cow!
