A Quiet Nebraska Baseball Offense Falls to Purdue 7-3.
The Huskers and Boilermakers made a decision last night to move Fridays game up to a noon CT start, and it ended up being the perfect decision, as the rain began to fall just as the final strike was called. Then the monsoon happened just as the Purdue baseball team and grounds crew pulled out… the tarp.
Nebraska did jump out to another early lead, as they got a leadoff walk in the 2nd, followed by a single to put runners on the corners with 1 out. A squeeze bunt by Dylan Carey went right back to the pitcher, and Swansen was easily thrown out at home. Ben Columbus delivered with the next at bat anyway, pulling a ball right down the left field line for a stand up 2 RBI double. 2-0 Nebraska.
