On a warm, fall Saturday, one that was almost reminiscent of summer, the boys of summer for both the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Omaha Mavericks met at Tal Anderson Field in Omaha for a 14 inning game.
For Omaha, they returned a high percentage of their lineup, but were down their ace pitcher along with a couple prominent bullpen arms, for the matchup. Nebraska, on the other hand… Well lets just say you better have printed off a roster, or had your smartphone handy, which wouldn’t have done a whole heck of a lot of good, because a lot of newcomers were wearing numbers in the 50s, not seen on the roster.
