[Husker] Baseball Team sweeps Northern Colorado

[Skylar Dodds]

Tony:

I would be quite surprised if they put DJ down in the lineup because he's
such a great table setter.  He's not a big threat to hit one out (hit his
first career homer today) although I'd say he's the best 'pure athlete' on
the team.

The only way I'd see that move is if Bryce Nimmo continues to hit the ball
like he has been (he's had good starts before).  Even so, it may fall under
the category of "if it isn't broken".

Also worth mentioning is the play of Ben Kline so far.  The frosh from Omaha
Central has been stellar defensively at short and has had a very decent bat
at the plate.

Good question tho.

Skylar, I have a question for you. with Belfonte as the lead off and him 
hitting .392. Isn't that quite high for a lead man. And do you see him 
moving down in the order say to the 3 of 5 hole ? And I agree with you on 
the pitching staff. I was hoping Newman would do with this staff what he has

done so far.
