After a good matchup Friday night, where a pitch or two made all the difference in the 4-1 game, Nebraska and #17 ranked TCU were back at it Saturday afternoon. It looked like Nebraska was going to continue to compete as Husker lead off hitter Leighton Banjoff led off the game with a stand up double. That was about the only good thing to happen for the Huskers in the first third of the game.
The story of the first couple of weeks of the season has been strikeouts by the Husker hitters, averaging over 11 a game, and free passes issues by the pitchers, especially the starters.
