Nebraska at Texas - April 22, 2006
Riley Boening goes into his motion as Brandon Buckman (who reached on a walk) and Chance Wheeless look on:
Do you see those folks in blue in the bleachers? We wondered what was up with them. When I first saw them, I thought they were a little league team in their uniforms. But then I realized that they were older...probably high school age...and that there were boys and girls in the group. So, it was probably a group of kids who'd won something (honor roll or some such) at a local school. I joked that they were Kansas fans who'd gotten the date wrong. Heh.
Clay Van Hook (3b), Drew Stubbs (cf), and Chais Fuller (ss) ready to go after the ball if the need arises:

Brett Lewis at the plate:
Brandon Buckman tries to keep Brett Lewis honest at first base while the Blue Shirts watch from the bleachers:
Bradley Suttle looks to the dugout for instruction after fouling one off:
Bradley Suttle tries to lay one down, but it too goes foul:
Clay Van Hook watches one go by:
Hmmm...'looks like it might've been low. I wonder how the yay-hoo behind the plate called it? Clay went to a 2-1 count before reaching on a fielder's choice so maybe he got it right. By the way, I missed Chais Fuller's appearance just before Clay came up since Chais bunted the first pitch he saw (before I had time to grab a photo).
Bradley Suttle (at 2b), Brett Lewis (at 3b) and Tommy Harmon (22) watch the action while Clay Van Hook bats:
Clay Van Hook crouches defensively as he wonders if the batter will bunt:
Hmmm...yes, the best photos of the defense are of Clay. That's 'cause, as the third baseman, he was closest to us. He wins by default. Heh.
