Nebraska scored only once while loading the bases four times while Shay Schanaman gave up 7 runs, 9 hits, including 3 home runs as our beloved Huskers fell to Rutgers 7-5 in the opening game of this weekend’s three-game series.
The game had an ominous start as Rutgers Ryan Lasko hit a home run as the first batter. Nebraska answered back in the first inning, Brice Matthews and Cam Chick earned walks then max Anderson flied out to right field advancing Matthews. Chick then advanced to second on a wild pitch while Matthew scored. The bases were loaded when both Griffin Everitt and Garrett Anglim walked, but failed to capitalize as Nick Wimmers popped up, then Luke Sartori grounded out.
