Nebraska took game two against the Sooners, 4-3. They tried to lose it  
in the ninth inning, but held on and won. That's saying a lot about  
this team - that they continue to find ways to win games.

We're 5-0 in the Big 12 now, although not the only undefeated Big 12  
team as Mizzou has gone 2-0 against Baylor without allowing a run in  
two games.

Keep in mind that that we've beaten KSU and OU, two teams that we're  
supposed to beat. We should be happy with it, but not all gaga about  
it, as the Big 12 is a damned tough conference this year. The pitching  
looks good, the offense is opportunistic, although we could use a  
little more power, but the key (as shown today) - we continue to find  
ways to keep winning.

We can sweep OU tomorrow and I hope we do, we can use *all* the wins  
we can get before we play Baylor, Texas, Texas A&M, Missouri, and  
Oklahoma State, all the teams we need to beat to guarantee post-season  
play.

Kansas State and Tech Tech are out of any running for anything already  
this season. Kansas is... struggling.
