It all started so well.
The baseball field was open to the paying public, offering those who were fortunate enough to purchase a seat the opportunity to look upon a brilliant green field with brown and volcanic red accents in the northern portion of downtown Omaha.
For those adorning their red sweaters and winter jackets, they were treated to one helluva ballgame. For those sporting their white and blue, they were offered a ray of hope to start and then a subsequent let down as the game ate deeper and deeper into the night.
Creighton Saturday starter and midweek opener Denson Hull started things off by mowing down the first three Huskers he saw.
