Despite tempting fate wearing black caps, helmets, and socks today, Nebraska was able to once again come from behind to beat the Minnesota Golden Gophers at Haymarket Park. All weekend it has taken the Cornhusker offense a while to warm up, but like yesterday, it woke up in time to get a victory.
Jackson Brockett (2-3, 4.01 ERA), looking to level his win-loss record, took the mound today against another lefty, Justin Thorsteinson (3-3, 6.57 ERA), a senior transfer from Oregon State. On a beautiful day with a very large red-clad crowd, there was plenty of excitement as the two conference rivals took the field.
