Incredible

Im gonna keep posting about this because it’s awesome, but playing a game with a unique backdrop is really cool.

We used to play Rutgers-Camden for our first game every year in college, and they used to play in a stadium right on the riverfront with the Ben Franklin bridge directly behind the outfield wall. From the field it looked absolutely massive and looked close enough that you could hit a ball onto it (even though it was probably 1,000 feet away to the base).

Unfortunately they tore the stadium down, but the school rebuilt a baseball field in the same spot.

Matthews 0-3, 2 BB, K, 2 R

*Max & Shay against each other*

Max got his first ST plate appearance, as a non-roster invite, and hit a 💣 to dead center.

Reminds me of Omaha Central's old field underneath the bridge by a Salvation Army. I'm drawing a blank on the name, damn it was a POS.

Spring 1990, Kimera Bartee (RIP) hit a ball so far off of me I didn't even look. It's likely still traveling 35 years later. Next AB, fucker drags and is on 3B 2 pitches later. Pretty sure I tried to pick him 10-12 times at 1st & 2nd. 😂

There had to of been 30-40 MLB scouts at that game for him. Super cool to experience. Bartee, Strickland & Scott Bream are the best players I've ever played against. Incredible talents.

Was that field astroturf?

Was that field astroturf?

Not that I recall. It was grass/dirt IF.

This is killing me.

Huskers go down on 3 strike outs

First strike out was Overbeek on an 11 pitch AB - not concerned on this one.

Second one was 7 pitches to Buttenbaugh

Third was 6 pitches to Braumbaugh

Lots of contact in the top half.

Dylan Carey with a two RBI single to put the Huskers up front.

Another 7+ pitch Ab From a Husker hitter ends it a liner to second.

Bolin deserved a hit there. Unfortunately that’s not how baseball works. Carey to third.

Huskers taking more pitches today. Not getting fooled on offspeed and a lot more of them are aimed towards the opposite field.
