Husker Baseball Drops Home Opener Against Cal Poly 14-8

Huskers sloppy in home opener

For the second consecutive game, the Nebraska Baseball team got in a high scoring slugfest. Unfortunately for Nebraska, they could not come up with the timely defensive play, and dropped a 14-8 decision in their home opener. Nebraska received spotty pitching from Matt Waldron, and a pair of errors doomed the Huskers in their quest to win their home opener.

After Matt Waldron set down the Mustangs in the top half of the inning, Nebraska got on the scoreboard in the first inning for the second game in a row. The Huskers loaded the bases thanks to a Mojo Hagge walk, a Zac Repinski single, and an error that allowed Angelo Altavilla to reach. After a strikeout from Scott Schreiber, Jesse Wilkening lined a single off of third baseman Nick DiCarlo that scored a pair of runs. Luke Roskam struck out and Jaxon Hallmark flied out to strang two runners for the Huskers.

Cal Poly quickly retook the lead in the third. Tate Samuelson led off the inning with a home run. Colby Barrick was hit by a pitch and Dylan Doherty singled to bring up DiCarlo who singled to score Barrick. Alex McKenna grounded out to score Doherty to put the Mustangs on top.
