Nothing like a lower 40s, windy day to put you in the mood for Husker baseball at Haymarket Park! Not a bad situation when you have a team traveling to your park to complete the home and home agreement that led to a Husker sweep over South Alabama (USA) in 2023. At least that was the plan…
Drew Christo and the Huskers ran into trouble early. Well, right away in fact. A bloop single from USA center fielder Will Turner was an auspicious start. Two line shots singles put the Jags up 1-0 with 2 on. That was followed up by a ball hit up to the jet stream and we got our first look at a Haymarket trope, an outfielder settling under a pop fly only to backpedal with the wind to the point he runs into the wall and the ball goes into the bullpen for a 3 run home run.
