Nebraska vs. Creighton - Game 2 of 3 - 4/5

[awefullspellare]

I'm sure just about noone cares about this game other then Husker and I but I figure any activity in this forum is good activity.

Nebraska is currently up 1-0 in the top of the 3rd. I wanted to go to this game but the threat of rain scared me off and I have homework to do tonight and don't want to be at the ballpark for hours. I'll just watch on TV .

If anyone else wants to watch it online it is free at http://mynptv.org/nptv/nptv_sports/s...creighton.html.

Leadoff batter walked for Nebraska and now Simocatis(sp?) walked and now Alex Gordon is up with 2 out in the 3rd. Chance for Alex to get Nebraska a big lead.

Gordon with an RBI single (second RBI of the night) and Simocatis goes to 3rd. 2-0 Huskers.

Brandon Fusilier hits a RBI double. Great powerful hit to deep left barely fair. 3-0 Big Red.

Ben Mancuso comes into pitch for Creighton. He had a .18 ERA last year for Creighton Prep (HS State Champs over my Mustangs .). Brandon Buckman is the batter and he is walked to load the bases for Curtis Ledbetter (huge power guy).

Ledbetter is .563 with the bases loaded hahah 30 RBI and 3 HR. Not this time thugh as he grounds out to end the top of the 3rd.

ESPN will cover the Nebraska/Texas series on Saturday and Sunday. The lineup was scheduled for hockey, but since they are in a lockout, you can thank the NHL for this.

Chase Odenrider(former Husker) provides the first hit for Creighton, a 2-out double to left field.

Passed ball lets Odenrider go to 3rd.

Yea I'm looking forward to this weekend's series .

[awefullspellare]

Another former Husker, Collin Shockey doubles to deep left center. Diving try by Fusilier isn't enough. Cuts the lead to 3-1

[awefullspellare]

Last batter hit it deep to left but only warning track power and the score is still 3-1 after 3 innings of play.

Daniel Bruce (I go to school with his younger brother Micah ) leads off the 4th with a K.
Jeff Christy(49th round pick of AZ last year) is up next and he grounds out to SS.
Jake Opitz(39th round pick of SEA last year) it up now and he grounds out to 2nd to end the top of the 4th.

Tony Roth leads off the bottom of the 4th with a ground out to SS.
Zach Degas is up next and he hits a hard one to the 2B and he fumbles it but still throws him out.

Northquist(sp?) grounds out to SS to end the 4th.

Jesse Boyer is up to start the 5th and walks again. 3rd time on base (first 2 he scored on).
Simokaittis is up now. Appears to be bunting. He does and moves Boyer to 2nd for Alex Gordon to try and get RBI #3 for the night.
