Nebraska's mistakes costly in loss to Western Carolina to open series

After all, the Catamounts knocked the Huskers out of an NCAA baseball tournament regional just last June.

Friday, Western Carolina took advantage of a couple of Nebraska errors and a few too many walks in a 5-2 victory before 941 spectators on a frigid afternoon at Haymarket Park.

With the temperature dipping into the 20s, Husker head coach Darin Erstad said mistakes were going to happen -- and they would be magnified because the cold was bound to hold down run production.

The Huskers committed two errors in the Catamounts' three-run third inning, and two NU pitchers finished with six walks and a pair of wild pitches.
