Yesterday had a bucket hat giveaway for the fans by Nebraska baseball. On Sunday, it was baseballs that were being given away to fans by the Husker offense. 7 home runs left the park by the Big Red. That was the most since a school record 9 homers in the famous 50 run game vs Chicago State on March 16, 1999.
Brice Matthews and Gabe Swansen each had 2 homers on the day. Swansen added a pair of bloop doubles that the 30+ MPH wind took for a ride against the Northwestern defense. They were popped up so high, that he was standing on second base by the time a player was able to pick the ball up.
