Salvage Sunday. A phrase we hadn’t expected to hear this early in the Big Ten schedule, but an important one as Nebraska looked to make the best of a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad opening weekend to the conference and home slate.
The game seemingly picked up where yesterday’s left off, with Washington’s .400 hitter AJ Guerrero slams a single into center field. Today though, the Husker defense didn’t allow things to compound, flashing their leather all day. In the first, Overbeek snared a would-be double for an out and Brockett made a play on a ball in front of him, before firing an absolute laser to first to get the runner by half a step and end the inning, pumping his fist as he does so often running off the field.
