Season-Opening Series Has Bolt, Huskers Encouraged

Far be it for Gareth Stroh to complain about his teammates mustering 11 runs of support before he even took the mound in his Nebraska pitching debut.

That's swell and all, but that it took 45 minutes for all of that scoring wasn't exactly ideal. It took so long, Stroh actually had to warm-up his arm a second time.

Not only that, but what mental approach does a pitcher take after handed an 11-0 lead in the first inning?

"On one end, it's easy because you know you have the run support, but on the other end, it's kind of nerve-wracking because you don't want to be the guy who blows it," Stroh said.
