Tempe: Highlanders Find the Scoreboard

By Jason Owens - June 03, 2007

Carl Uhl finally got things started for Riverside as the Highlanders got their first hit and first run in the third inning. Uhl cranked a drive to the right field corner that almost let him take a shot at an in-the-park home run. He wisely held up for a leadoff triple that paid off when Joey Gonzales sent him home with a single to cut the Nebraska lead to 2-1.

Meanwhile, Nebraska continues to get good wood -- uhh... aluminum -- on the ball, but couldn't manage any more runs after picking up a pair of singles and a walk in the bottom of the third. Another baserunning error cost them as Craig Corriston got caught stealing. That's the second Husker caught stealing through three innings; both of them could have scored and Nebraska could be sitting on a 4-1 lead instead of a 2-1 edge.
