After their performances last weekend, the only surprise when the awards were announced was that the two had to share them, but as they would both tell you, it’s the team who matters and there were plenty of stellar performances on a team who put together an effort like the one in Las Cruces.
The duo helped the Huskers to that 5-0 finish with all five victories coming via the run-rule - that is, with the game being called in the 5th inning or later once a team takes an 8+ run lead after the trailing team has had their bats that inning.
