Baseball: Nebraska vs. Texas

starts out well....

Belfonte has made it to 2nd already, one out on a sacrifice.

Optiz is out, Belfonte gets to third.

scores on a Corriston single!

Abeita was walked previously, so Abeita has it to second.

1-0 Huskers!

strikes out in his first at-bat in the series.

That retires the side, Huskers with one hit, 1-0 in the first.

it's a good chance to start building a lead in the Big XII, since Mizzou lost to Texas Tech yesterday.

BTW, this is 4 years in a row that the road team has won the Nebraska-Texas series.  So weird.

scores two on a wild throw by Pribanic to third.

Tucker and Torres scored for Texas, leading 2-1 now.

Pribanic isn't starting out great, but that's okay. Settle it down.

but runner on 3rd scores to give Texas 3-1 lead

least they got a double play on that last at-bat.

Danks scores, though. Poop.

would not be a good time for Kyle Russell to begin getting out of his slump. Let's leave that for...

poop. base hit for Russell.

a high, foul pop-up right now

to get us out of this painful inning.  3-1 Texas

3 runs, 3 hits, two errors, at least we're out of the first.

all the snow has melted out of my front yard.

maybe that's a good sign.

two outs already..... geez.

damn near a HR by Torres.

talking about low Big Dance ratings and that having four #1's make the tourney will help that cause.

I'm not sure. I like the tourney because of chaos.

OTOH, the games haven't been good, and if we have the four top seeds, they should be.

OTOH again, Memphis may destroy everyone by 20.

action.

Still 3-1 Texas, bottom of the third.

having another rough inning.

bottom of the third, two more runs have scored for Texas, with only one out.

Hernandez double.

6-1 after three, but Nebraska gets an out on the fly, and then an out on a throw to third by Corriston.

oeeee....

maybe this is to make up for the Longhorns getting pounded by Memphis right now in the Big Dance - 39-26.

four errors for the Huskers today.

Let's hope we get it out of our system.

still 6-1, double-play gets us out of the bottom of the fourth after it looked like Texas might get something out of the inning.

Neer hits his first homer of the year to bring in 2 runs.  6-3 Texas.

of the seventh now.

Double by Craig Corriston, then a homer by Cody Neer.

Suddenly after not looking very good, it's 6-3, and the Huskers are back in it.

Herr in to pitch for Pribanic.

no more runs for the 'Horns.

hits a 2-run homer to give Texas an 8-3 lead.

Seems like when Memphis goes on a rally in the basketball game, Texas gets a rally in the baseball game.

to get 5 runs...not to mention that we don't have long before the travel time thing kicks in.

maybe they could just finish the basketball game, and get this over with, as Texas has now stretched their baseball lead to 12-3.

Four in the eighth.

we still won a series at Texas, which is a difficult task any year.  Let's bounce back to beat Creighton on Tuesday.
