Huskers' Schleppenbach takes patient approach

Sure, you can hit the fast-forward button to hear just the good part of the “William Tell Overture,” or speed through the first three quarters to see the winning touchdown.

“There is no fast forward in baseball,” said Husker second baseman Jake Schleppenbach. “We want to win the Big Ten after finishing second a few times. We want to win some games in an NCAA regional and we want to get to the College World Series.

“But you can’t jump ahead of taking the hacks in the batting cage today or drilling with grounders or winning the next at-bat,” said the Husker senior and Lincoln Pius X grad.
