It’s Friday night and 62 degrees, and wind blowing in at Haymarket Park. A nationally ranked Husker team has its pitcher trotting out to the mound with a 1.36 ERA, and a dominant pitcher for the opposing team waiting to show his stuff. No, we aren’t watching Shane Komine in 2002, but its sure starting to get that kind of a feel with 5-0 Brett Sears takes the mound for NU as we move into an important April conference home slate for a team hoping to host a regional.
Sears looked good early. He was mixing his pitches more early on in the game instead of just trying to locate his fastball.
