[Husker] baseball slump

[Mike Jaixen]

Huskers got "run ruled", losing 12-2 in a game
shortened to 6 innings. With the Big XII tournament
coming up in 2 weeks, this is starting to turn from
"starting to become a concern" to "edging closer to
the panic button".

On the good side, they will see a huge crowd of
friendly faces Tuesday night at Rosenblatt.  Estimates
are that nearly 15,000 tickets have been sold already;
only a few seats remain in the grandstand in each
corner.  Weather and the concern about the Huskers
slump might be the only reason why Tuesday's crowd
won't fill the 'Blatt.
