Nebraska’s hitting woes continued through the first two-thirds of the opening game of a three game series versus Indiana in Bloomington. The boys in Scarlet were only able to muster three hits until the seventh inning. The closest they came to scoring a run was a Max Anderson long fly ball to centerfield that forced Bobby Whalen back against the cushions to make the catch.
Of the first four hits Nebraska had, three of them did not get out of the infield.
While the Cornhuskers were struggling, Indiana was making life difficult for starter Shay Schanaman. The junior from Grand Island had trouble adapting to the home plate umpires high strike zone and found himself down 1-0 in the first inning after Josh Pyne doubled and two batters later, Brock Tibbetts did the same.
