Texas vs Nebraska Game 3 (Recap added)

[joeywa]

Good morning folks.

Today's game is again via BTN Plus subscription service. No TV otherwise.

Lineups to be posted shortly.

 

[Johnstark23]

Hopefully everyone in Lincoln found a good cornfed slumpbuster to get them over the last 24 innings and we are able to string together a few hits and an early crooked number

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Afternoon, ladies. Sorry I'm late to the party...had to make a sacrifice to Jobu.

T2

Notes: The wind is really blowing straight out to RF, 25-30 MPH, gusting to 40.  This will benefit LH hitters today.

Marlow's double play was a nifty snag; backhanded in front of the 2B bag and handled it himself.

[Matt Cotcher]

Observation: The Huskers haven't hit many XBH (until today). What they have done is string singles together.

When you pitch & play defense the way they have, hitting singles hard is just as effective as homeruns.
