Again, I know this is the football board and if anyone has a firm objection, I will stop posting this news.
But it’s just darn good news!
The Huskers are leading the Big Ten in Baseball with an 18-6 record. Having just swept Penn State three straight games at Penn State this weekend.
This weekend the third husker starter, Chance Hroch really found his groove and pitched his best game of the season. That gives Nebraska three very solid starting pitchers. And the other good news is that Max Schreiber pitched for one inning and struck out the side. Nebraska already has probably the best closer in the Big Ten in Spencer Schwellenbach, but if Max Schreiber were to get back to his old form...that would give Nebraska a wonderful boost with some additional relief options. Some of the other middle relievers are starting to solidify. Jake Bunz in particular. And the bats have stayed hot.
They play a wonderfully aggressive style of baseball......steal, hit and run, bunt a lot.... and we even have stolen home this year. Defense has been super solid. One young player today made a defensive play you ONLY see in MLB...Efry Cervantes. Looked like Manny Machado with the quick hands and then an effortless ROCKET to first from deep....DEEP in the hole. Amazing play.
Now it’s not always going to be like that. And baseball is such a streaky game. But we are almost at the halfway point of the season and I have to tell you....
I like what I see!
