HUSKERS SOFTBALL Recap: NEBRASKA 10 Maine 0
In sports, we use the famous boxing phrase, “Everyone has a puncher’s chance,” but that includes all those guys who Mike Tyson was fighting on ESPN in his rise during the 80’s. They bled a lot and tended to sleep soundly in front of drunk and noisy fans.
That being said, the Maine Black Bears squad entered this game 1-16 against no-so-great competition and fresh off an 8-0 shellacking from Northern Colorado in the game before. The odds of a “puncher’s chance” upset seemed as doubtful as young Tyson’s battered opponents. Nebraska’s job was simple - take care of business and work on eliminating the mistakes which had continued to plague them on and off.
