Banjoff bashes his way to being a key piece of Nebraska baseball's lineup as a freshman

Leighton Banjoff says he hasn't really had his "welcome-to-college" moment yet in his freshman season of playing baseball for Nebraska.

There hasn't been that one time in a game or a practice where Banjoff got blown away at the plate or lost his mind in the field or any of the other little instances that can let a youngster know he isn't in high school anymore.

"Just having fun and playing baseball," Banjoff said Wednesday.

But when the Huskers needed a moment to spark themselves at the end of what had become a difficult weekend at Arizona State, Banjoff was the one who provided it.
