[Husker] NU wins series

[jschlechte at usfamily.net]

Outstanding game by Dorn who pitched 7 innings gave up 4 hits, 2 walks
and no runs.  I don't think he even reached a 3 ball count until the 6th
or 7th inning.  Hitting was decent to good, can't rate it too high as
twice the bases were left loaded.  But coming back on Sat. to get the W
behind Shirek and today's effort was great.  Bird and Herr closed out
the game and preserved the shutout win.

OU completed the sweep at Texas Tech today and so the top 3 in the
conference are now quite tightly bunched.  Baylor is the only one not
updated for the top 6 and is trailing A&M 7-5 in the bottom of the
seventh.  Frankly with 9 to 12 games left, it is probably a race between
NU and OU as to who finishes second to UT at the end of the year.  I
really don't expect Texas to lose more than one conference game in their
final 9 games.  For Nebraska, I am hopeful for 10-2 with series wins
against OU and Baylor and sweeps of Ok State and TT. 

Nebraska 	12-3-0
Texas  	13-4-0
Oklahoma 	11-4-0
Kansas 	9-9-0 
Baylor 	8-9-0
Ok State 	7-8-0

What a great weekend.

Go Big Red,
