2017 NCAA Baseball Tournament: Nebraska Drops Opening Game To Yale 5-1

Husker offense putrid in defeat

Nebraska came out and fell flat Friday afternoon, dropping their NCAA Tournament opener to the Yale Bulldogs by a score of 5-1. Jake Meyers was shaky, giving up five runs, while Bulldog pitcher Scott Politz shut down the Husker offense.

Nebraska fell behind early when the first four Bulldog batters reached. Tim DeGraw, Simon Whiteman, and Richard Slenker all singled to load the bases. Benny Wagner struck out to bring Meyers within a double play of ending the inning but Griffin Dey singled on a 2-2 pitch back up the middle to plate a pair. Meyers got of the inning without any more damage.

Politz allowed his only run of the day when the Huskers scratched a run across. Meyers singled to start the inning, stole second, and scored when Luis Alvarado singled with two outs through the left side. Jake Schleppenbach flied out to center to leave Ben Miller on second as the tying run.
