There were a couple of changes to the Nebraska Baseball coaching staff yesterday.

First off, hitting coach and former Husker catcher Andy Sawyers has decided to resign from his hitting coach and recruiting coordinator job to pursue other jobs in the Midwest and did not rule out coaching baseball, but did mention of a job outside of baseball that he was interested in.  Coach Anderson will now take over as hitting coach along with being head coach.

The other move which is actually the bigger move in my mind is that Dave Bingham will not be the pitching coach for the Huskers next year.  He will be more of an assistant coach to Anderson and help out in all areas.

The only Nebraska Baseball player to be drafted on day 1 of the 2007 MLB Draft was pitcher Drew Bowman.  Bowman, a 6-foot-3, 190-pound sophomore from Morrison, Colo., finished 4-1 with a 4.31 ERA in 14 appearances.

Alot of people thought that Luke Wertz or Tony Watson’s names would be called on day 1 but they never were.  Expect their names to be called today for sure.

I have to wonder why Bowman didn’t get many chances to throw the ball for the Huskers.  Especially when the team was doing so poorly.  Is Bowman a headcase?  Did he not get along with Coach Anderson?  I suppose only the players and coaches know that for sure.  You would think if a player has the stuff to be a 5th round pick, he would have got more opportunities with the Huskers.

Nebraska nearly overcame a six-run deficit, but fifth-ranked Arizona State pulled away in the later innings to post a 19-7 victory late Sunday in the title game of the NCAA Tempe Regional.

The Sun Devils, who upped their record to 46-13, will now take on Mississippi in a Super Regional matchup next weekend, while the Huskers, who reached a regional title game for the sixth time in the last eight years, finished the 2007 campaign with a 32-27 record.

Trailing 9-3, the Huskers scored a run in the sixth and used an RBI triple by Craig Corriston and a RBI single by Andrew Brown off of ASU starter Josh Satow to pull within three runs. After an error and a wild pitch put runners on second and third with no outs, Sun Devil closer Jason Jarvis came and struck out Andy Gerch before Jeff Tezak’s grounder to short made it a 9-7 game. Jarvis, who struck out five in three innings of no-hit relief for his 11th save, escaped additional trouble by getting Bryce Nimmo to ground out to end the threat.

The offense came out for the Nerbaska Cornhuskers this afternoon as they avenged a earlier loss to UC-Riverside with a nice 11-1 thumping this afternoon in the Tempe regional.

The Huskers will now play Arizona State this evening. If the Huskers are able to get past ASU they will then play them again tomorrow.

GO BIG RED!!!

The Huskers didn’t get off to the right foot yesterday in NCAA Regional play as they lost to the #2 seed UC-Riverside by the score of 10-5. The Huskers got off to a good start but could not hold onto it as the pitchers gave up 10 walks in the ballgame and anytime you walk that many batters, they are eventually going to come around and score.

Nebraska will now face Monmouth this afternoon. Monmouth played Arizona State pretty tough before falling 5-3. The Huskers really need to pick up this win or it will be another 2 and out of regional play just like last year.

Today that NCAA annouced the field for NCAA Regional play that will begin on Friday.  The Huskers will be traveling down to Tempe and take part in the regional that will be hosted by the Arizona State Sun Devils.

The Huskers will face UC-Riverside in their first game.  The Huskers received the #3 seed for the regional.  Arizona State and Monmouth will battle it out in the other game.

The team is in a really hard regional and it is going to be very tough for them to make it out of it, but a upset here and there and they just might suprise us!  Lets go get em! GO BIG RED!!!

Oklahoma City, Okla. – Freshman DJ Belfonte went 2-for-4 and scored twice, but Nebraska’s late-inning comeback fell short in a 5-4 loss to fifth-ranked Texas at the Big 12 Championship Saturday afternoon.

The Huskers (30-25) had the tying runner on base in each of the last three innings, but could not capitalize against Longhorn closer Randy Boone, who got UT out of each jam, including a bases-loaded situation after NU pulled to within a run to, earn his 13th save.

Nebraska used an opportunistic offense and strong pitching performances from Tony Watson and Matt Foust to knock off No. 11 Texas A&M, 5-3, at the Big 12 Championship Wednesday afternoon at the Bricktown Ballpark.
 
Watson (6-4) allowed two runs over 5.1 innings of work to pick up his first win since April 29. The left-hander got out of several early jams, as the Aggies left runners in scoring position in each of the first six innings against Watson and in seven of nine inning overall. Foust earned his seventh save by going the final 3.2 innings, highlighted by a bases-loaded strikeout of Blake Stouffer in the eighth to preserve NU’s 4-3 lead at the time.
