Former Husker Nesseth impresses Phillies
He hasn't pitched in his first professional game. The Philadelphia Phillies spent a 17th-round draft pick to select him out of the University of Nebraska in 2010 even though his career ERA was 4.72, his mechanics were a mess and, oh yes, he had just had Tommy John elbow surgery. Right-hander Mike Nesseth, who has been working out ever since signing last summer, started an extended spring game earlier this week. As it happened, his catcher was Carlos Ruiz, playing himself back into shape after...

Aggies use big inning to rally past Ehlers, Huskers
Texas A&M; used a four-run sixth inning to take command in a 7-3 win over Nebraska on Friday in the opener of a three-game series. The Huskers (28-22, 7-14 Big 12) got a solid performance from freshman left-hander Logan Ehlers, but his defensive miscue helped start the No. 11 Aggies’ big inning. With one out in the sixth, Ehlers did not cover first on Kevin Gonzalez’s grounder, and first baseman Kurt Farmer bobbled the ball and couldn’t reach the base in time. A walk put...

Inconsistent hitting still a problem for Huskers
For the first three innings in last weekend's Big 12 baseball series opener against Texas, Nebraska's batters took the pesky and opportunistic approach that their coach always preaches. The Huskers scored a first-inning run without getting the ball out of the infield. They added two more in the second with just one hit, a bunt single. They were a single away from a fourth run in the third inning after a walk and a sacrifice bunt.

Bullpen stems Husker rally after Jays nearly blow 9-0 lead
Creighton pitcher Kurt Spomer hardly figured he'd be ending Tuesday's game against Nebraska in a save situation considering the way his teammates started it. The Bluejays scored nine runs in the first three innings but needed some gutty relief work from Reese McGraw and Spomer to preserve a 9-8 victory at TD Ameritrade Park. “You never know what can happen,” said Spomer, who picked up his seventh save by pitching a scoreless ninth inning. “Crazy things happen in...

NU rally not surprising, not sufficient
Everyone in Nebraska's dugout huddled around coach Mike Anderson in the middle of the third inning as the Huskers stared at a seemingly insurmountable 9-0 deficit against rival Creighton. Anderson didn't like the start, and he made sure his players knew it. Then he made a bold statement. “I thought we'd come back and win, if you want to know the truth,” he said. The Huskers (28-21) nearly proved him right, but they came up just short in a 9-8 heartbreaker before 17,588 at TD...

Osborne evaluates on more than just record
Premium ContentWith Nebraska’s baseball program falling from the nation’s elite, Nebraska Athletic Director Tom Osborne said Monday that he isn’t evaluating the team’s head coach on his win-loss record alone. Mike Anderson, the nine-year Nebraska coach whose contract expires in 2012, is under heavy scrutiny from a growing sector of fans disappointed in the Huskers’ recent slide. Now six years removed from three College World Series appearance in five seasons, NU is in danger of...

Niederklein helps Huskers avoid sweep
It was obvious Sunday afternoon that Texas would do everything it could to steal the momentum early by scoring its leadoff man after he reached base to start the first inning. Fortunately for Nebraska, a gutsy and gritty effort from pitcher Tyler Niederklein prevented that from happening. The sophomore right-hander out of Millard West escaped that first-inning jam and a few others Sunday, delivering another solid start on a day the Huskers desperately needed it. Niederklein pitched around...

Longhorns plate 16 runs against Huskers
It took only one inning to illustrate the ever-expanding gap between the Nebraska baseball team and a club that used to be considered the Huskers' peer at the top of the Big 12. No. 5 Texas chased Husker starter Jon Keller after two-thirds of an inning and scored six runs in the first inning on its way to a 16-5 win at Haymarket Park on Saturday. UT will go for the series sweep at 12:05 p.m. Sunday.

Huskers can't rally against Longhorn ace
The talented Texas ace was laboring in the early innings, exactly what Nebraska had hoped for. Only the Huskers never could deliver a knockout blow. And then junior Taylor Jungmann found his rhythm. Texas’ top starting pitcher recovered from his shaky start and shut down the NU offense from there Friday night, leading the fifth-ranked Longhorns to a 5-3 series-opening win before 3,871 at Haymarket Park.
