Park: Haymarket Park
Game time: Saturday, 5:05 pm; Sunday, 1:05 pm
Television:
Saturday’s game will be live on NET (Ch. 12 and Ch. 112) and shown on a tape-delayed basis on CBS College Sports (CSTV) with the first airing Sunday afternoon.
Webcast: Games can be seen online for free at Huskers.com
Radio: Husker Sports Network and on the Internet at Huskers.com
- The start of today’s game has been delayed until 5:05 pm due to weather issues. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t make that either.
- Oklahoma State won last night 3-2 over Texas Tech, so the Huskers maintain a half game lead for second place.
- Last night’s game was an instant classic, two top teams battling it out in a game that went extra innings. The Aggies lead 3-2 going into the bottom of the ninth when the Huskers scored to tie it. Neither team had lost an extra inning game this season.
- In the 16th inning, the Aggies’ Dane Carter hit a three RBI double after the Huskers had given up three straight singles, giving the Aggies the win.
- It was shades of the 2005 Texas 16-inning game but Nebraska won that game and then went on to lose the series. Perhaps fortune will go our way this time, that this loss will turn into a series win for the Huskers.
- In the 15th inning, Mike Anderson filed a protest after the batter struck out swinging then called for batter interference on the throw to second to pick off a runner. The umps conferred, then sent the Aggie back to second. If there was batter interference, the guy should have been ruled out.
- Aggie coach Rob Childress had a problem with Mitch Abeita’s bat, at least that’s what I have down. It may have been Jake Optiz’ bat. The bat was confiscated for later examination. Maybe there was a nuclear device hidden in it, who knows.
- Last night’s crowd of 8,708 was the largest home crowd in the Big 12 this season and the third-largest crowd in Nebraska’s school history.

Nesseth
strikes out Blake Stouffer to get out of the inning.
by corn blight on May 11, 2008 6:50 PM CDT 0 recs
Kirkland Rivers comes
in to pitch for the Aggies. Has a big ERA, but he's probably here to face to left-handed batters and that'll be it.
Belfonte up.
Huskers have runners at first, second. No outs.
by corn blight on May 11, 2008 6:58 PM CDT 0 recs
Belfonte
had a perfect bunt right towards third that's ruled third.
So close... really. The crowd went nuts.

Rivers
damned near takes Belfonte's head off with a wild pitch.
Runners advance.
Whooeee! Let this guy pitch more.

David Stewart comes to the plate.
crowd has that "Stew" thing going.
by corn blight on May 11, 2008 7:02 PM CDT 0 recs
Stewart
chops one down the first base line... little dinker. He's thrown out at first, Huskers score.
Pitcher almost came home, but didn't have a play there.
Cody Neer up

Neer
pinch-hitting for Andy Cotton.
Rivers is done. Shane Minx (Minks?) comes in to pitch.
by corn blight on May 11, 2008 7:04 PM CDT 0 recs
wild pitch!
Minx got to the plate to back up the catcher, but the throw was wide, and Belfonte scores from third.

by corn blight on May 11, 2008 7:12 PM CDT 0 recs
the
Aggie bullpen is struggling a bit, eh?
That's a good sign, as there's plenty of innings left, and Texas A&M is going throw pitchers.
by corn blight on May 11, 2008 7:13 PM CDT 0 recs
whooeeee
hit up the middle, picked up by the shortstop....
he doesn't beat Neer to 2nd, but because he tried, he didn't get the throw to first to get Nimmo.
everybody's safe.

The

He ran directly into Gonzalez, the catcher, a good collision, but the catcher holds on and that's the inning.
