What a difference a year makes. Last year, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi broke Nebraska, with a series win culminating in a 21-4 victory that wasn’t even that close. Today however, it was the Huskers’ pitching staff that was in shutdown mode.
Early on it was a defensive battle, with a pivotal play according to Coach Bolt, being when NU was able to pick off Brendan Ryan, the Islanders steals leader, who had just hit a double in the top of the first. If that guy was allowed to roam the base paths, the Big Red could have been playing from behind.
