Tempe: Sun Shining on Nebraska

By Jason Owens - June 03, 2007

Everything's going the Huskers' way early today. After threatening in the first, Nebraska picked up a couple of runs off of Pat Cassa in the second; and it would have been worse had Jeff Tezak not been caught stealing.

Andy Gerch got things started with a leadoff home run from the no. 5 spot. Tezak followed up with a double before getting picked off. Bryce Nimmo walked the next at bat; a single and a fielder's choice later and the Huskers had built a 2-0 lead.

To add to the fun, the Riverside dugout got all bent out of shape again. Two coaches came out to argue with the umpires during the inning. Maybe they were inspired with Doug Smith's dramatic ousting in the first. Whatever it is, things don't look good early for the Highlanders.
