The Nebraska baseball team was looking to learn from the mistakes it made losing the season opener to Sam Houston 5-8. Instead what it found was more of the same. Coach Will Bolt lamented the free passes given up by Husker pitchers, and the amount of good pitches that the hitters allowed to go by them, without lifting the bat off their shoulders.
While the pitchers solved their problem, only allowing 2 BBs on the game, the hitters had more of the same, not only striking out 8 times in the 7 inning affair, but also getting into bad counts that left them swinging defensively late in the count.
