[Husker] Nebraska Baseball Gets a Big Win!!

[NUStLNorris at aol.com]

Nebraska 6, Rice 3.  Nebraska rallies late to defeat the seventh-ranked Owls.

>From what I can gather, it seems that they called the game after eight 
innings due to Nebraska having to catch a flight.  Can you believe that?  The first 
game of the day was a high-scoring, time-consuming, extra inning affair.

And the Huskers won it late on a dramatic three-run home run by All-American 
Alex Gordon with two outs in the eighth inning (turned out, Huskers were down 
to their last batter!!).  NU was down early, 2-0 as Zach Kroneke had trouble 
finding the plate.  He didn't last long.  Dusty Timm came in to keep NU in the 
game.  Brian Duensing relieved Timm later on.  Jensen pitched the final 
inning.

Nebraska rallied, down 3 to 1, for five runs in the eighth (and final) 
inning.  How 'bout it??!!!!  Sounds like the Huskers had many blown opportunities 
early on in the ballgame.  Daniel Bruce also contributed a solo shot in the 
decisive eighth inning.

Huge win for the Nebraska baseball program.  Huskers are now 7 and 0 on the 
season and will surely be ranked when the next poll(s) comes out.
