pop fly in 8th, Husker pitcher and 1st baseman converge on ball. Pitcher drifts into base path, gets hammered by base runner. 1st baseman flubs the pop up, runner safe. Nebraska coach wants interference called...which it was clearly not....I believe it was the 8th?

Game under protest.

the A-hole coach for Nebraska cost us another inning of baseball and another possible chance to win with his retarded antics. If anything, the call was interference on nebraska for standing in the baseline. If the call went the other way, you might as well just make your first baseman stand on the basepath 2 feet in front of first base every play.

Enjoyed two games at Moore Field this weekend and the one on the tube this afternoon. First of all, enjoyed the games and I am glad baseball season is here. Happy for the win and of course a little bumed about the losses. I'm not sure what to expect this year, after last years, what I'll call "somewhat of a disaster and very much a disappointment" and the not so great preseason predictions. But I'm a fan and will support this team, its a new season and we're in first place in the Belt.

I really can't be critical of the efforts of the players, the coaching, or the enthusastic and supportive fans, but I am really disappointed in the overall condition of the tigue or am I the only one that noticed.

I understood that some "big money" was on the way to redue the tigue, and maybe it didn't arrive soon enough or whatever, and maybe the university didn't want to waste any other dollars fixing minor things at the ball park, but all in all, it looked like crap!!!

Now I wasn't looking for negatives at the park, but there were little things that really bothered me and should have been taken care of before Friday night. Why wasn't burnt lights replaced on the score board, the the badly torn and worn sign above the souvenir shop could have taken down and the "patchwork" tar paper on the dugouts fixed. I'm sorry but these things, I guess, bothered me and annoyed me enough to complain, mainly because we were hosting a "big time" program who brought down a bunch of fans, and probably left thinking our facilities are a joke.

I was told that Nebraska has one of the finest ballparks in the country and I sure there fans left here, not to impressed.

That has always been one of my pet peaves with UL, the lack of attending to detail. It is often the little things that make a difference, especially when your facilities are older and UL just never seems to get it. I wonder who is in charge of game day and facility management. Whoever it is does a terrible job of it in ALL sports. You would think they would meet on these things, do walk thrus and point out deficiencies to take care of. Just another example of why we remain a lower level mid-major in every sense of that phrase.

It all depends on what call was made. If the pitcher drifted into the baseline while trying to get under the pop-up and make a play, by rule he has the right to the ball which would result in a interference call on the baserunner. The fielder has the right of way until it has crossed the baseline between 1st and 2nd or 2nd and 3rd. The only thing I can see is that the umpires ruled that the play was being made by the 1st baseman and he was not interfered with. Therefore, no call is made and the play stands.
