Huskers Rally for Second Straight Day, Sinclair Goes the Distance
Lincoln - After going 0-for-3 with a sacrifice fly in his first four trips to the plate, Michael Pritchard produced a bases loaded, two-out, two-RBI walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Nebraska baseball team (18-13, 3-2 Big Ten) back-to-back come-from-behind victories over the Ohio State Buckeyes (18-12, 2-6 Big Ten) with a 4-3 win on Saturday afternoon in front of 3,871 fans at Hawks Field.
After reliever Travis Lakins retired Ryan Boldt to start the ninth, the 6-1 OSU freshman walked Blake Headley and gave up a single to Christian Cox that put the tying run on base. Lakins struck out Austin Christensen for the second out of the ninth, but then issued consecutive walks to Ty Kildow and Jake Placzek, forcing in pinch runner Quinn McGill to make it a 3-2 game. With the tying run 90 feet away and the winning run at second base, the Buckeyes went to Trace Dempsey, who was an All-American last year. Dempsey got ahead of Pritchard 1-2, before the senior left fielder from Omaha blistered an offering back up the middle that scored Kildow and Cox for the Huskers’ third walk-off winner of 2014. The game-winning hit capped a three-RBI game for Pritchard, as drove in NU’s first run of the game with a RBI sacrifice fly in the eighth.
For the second straight game Nebraska got a complete-game outing from its starting pitcher, as Chance Sinclair went the distance after Christian DeLeon threw a complete-game gem on Friday night. Sinclair went a career-high 9.0 innings, allowing seven hits and no walks, while striking out four. Nebraska’s defense didn’t play well behind its starter, giving up three unearned runs on three errors. Even though he hadn’t given up an earned run on the day, Sinclair was in line for the loss when he left the mound after the top of the ninth, but following the comeback win, Sinclair improved to 5-1 on the season.
