It was finally baseball weather in Lincoln. 84 degrees at first pitch, a blistering warm wind blowing out to left, but it still took a while for the hometown boys to warm up.
With freshman Caleb Clark on the bump for Nebraska, trying to get himself right after an up and down first half of the season, but he didn’t make it long. In the top of the first, Clark got two quick outs. He then pitched around Omaha third baseman Mike Boeve, with good reason, as Boeve hits over .400. The next batter hit a hard line drive to right which outfielder Charlie Fischer dove for and missed which gave Omaha an RBI triple and a 1-0 lead.
