Eleven Runs in Two Innings Lead to 12-7 Nebraska Win Over Minnesota

Drew Grego sparks Nebraska with a three hit game. | Nebraska Athletics With concerns about the weather getting wet in the late afternoon, the decision was made to move the start time for the first game of the final series of the regular season up to 2:00. The wind was blowing straight in at the batter making it clear that it wasn’t going to be easy to knock one out of the park today.

What started off as kind a methodical pitchers dual in Minneapolis at Seibert Field turned into a sixth and seventh inning explosion by Will Bolt’s Nebraska Cornhusker baseball team. Carson Jasa looked very good for the first three innings of the game, getting ahead in the count and recording four strikeouts and no walks. Gopher starter Cole Selvig was good as well.

He did give up an RBI double to Mac Moyer in the third inning, but other than that, he was very solid. Surprisingly, he was pulled from the game after four complete innings. It wasn’t apparent why.

The game started out moving at a really good pace because of the efficiency of the pitchers until what must be one of the longest video reviews in recorded history. In the top of the third, after Trey Fikes had singled, Rhett Stokes laid down a bunt to the third baseman, who threw him out at first base. Apparently, there was a little bit of contact when Stokes crossed the bag, but nothing apparent to fans in the stands.
