Lincoln, NE - As kids we’ve all pretended we’re at bat in the bottom of the ninth with two outs and the game on the line.  Last night, Senior Craig Corriston didn’t have to pretend.  Since Corriston hadn’t hit a home run in about 11 months and there was a strong wind blowing in from left field it seemed quite unlikely that Corriston would be able to hit one out there.  Sure enough as soon as the 2-0 pitch left the bat, all 3,616 in attendance knew the game was over and the Huskers (16-3, 4-0) would win 4-2.

From the mound Johnny Dorn might have earned the nickname of “Houdini” with his inate ability to escape seemingly every threat by OU.  It certainly wasn’t his most dominant performance, as he gave up 9 hits over 7.1 innings, struck out a season low 3, and allowed runners in scoring position in 6 of those 7 innings.  The key to his success?  The Sooners finished the day a measly 1 for 15 with runners in scoring position.

After Dorn got into a little trouble in the 7th, Zach Herr came in and shut the Sooners down.  His 1.2 innings of scoreless work allowed him to earn his second win of the year.

Nick Sullivan also helped power the Husker offense.  Not only did his 9th inning single allow Corriston to come to the plate, but he tied the game in the bottom of the 7th with a pair of RBIs of his own on a bases-loaded single. 

The win keeps the Huskers undefeated in the conference at 4-0.  They will try to keep that unbeaten record tomorrow as the Huskers take on the Sooners at Haymarket Park at 2:05 pm.
