Oklahoma City, OK - The #7 Huskers have had a tough time finding that spark that has made this team so special all year long. Last weekend the Husker looked competitive for the first 7 innings of a 3 game set in Columbia versus the Tigers. Then, Johnny Dorn came out of the game and the Huskers have been outscored 46-16 since then.
That includes Wednesday’s 10-4 loss to the underacheiving Baylor Bears. The team that took pride from it’s pitching has found itself desperately searching for someone who can throw strikes. The team that averaged 3.17 walks per game before the Mizzouri series has walked 25 in their last 4 games, just over 6 per game.
Wednesday’s game was no exception. Dan Jennings, who has cooled off of late perhaps due to being a little worn out, walked 5 in 6 innings although he only gave up 3 earned runs in the process. Zach Herr, who’s been a staple in the bullpen, replaced Jennings and walked the first two batters he faced and left without retiring a single hitter.
Fortunately for the Huskers, Dorn will take the mound again on Friday against lowly Kansas State. Perhaps Dorn stop the issue before the flood gates open. Great pitchers are known for breaking losing streaks and we’re in the middle of one in what’s probably the worst possible time. A good solid win the Nebraska way with good pitching, good fielding and solid fundamentals could be just what the doctor ordered, and not a moment too soon.
