Nebraska baseball’s Rhett Stokes was asked what the pitch was. It might’ve been a “cutter, slider,” he said. But, he added with a smile, it was really just a matter of “see ball, hit ball.” Which he did, with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning of Sunday’s...
Never mind the opponent, that Nebraska’s 11-1 win against North Dakota State Wednesday dropped the Bison to 2-14 or that this weekend’s opponent for three games at Haymarket Park, Maine, is 2-13. A win is a win, and the Huskers, 11-5 with six consecutive wins, aren’t...
Gavin Blachowicz added an exclamation point to Nebraska baseball’s three-game weekend sweep of Michigan State at Haymarket Park on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The sophomore right-hander pitched a seven-inning, 10-run rule complete game, allowing three hits and one walk...
