Comments

I listened to the game on the radio and kept score as I listened. It was an...interesting game. To say the least. I don't really even know where to begin with my comments. I'm glad I was able to update the game summary as the game was in progress because I don't think I could ever have made sense of the box! All of the Nebraska players scored at least 2 runs. Two players came up to bat 7 times...very unusual. And, Nebraska scored at least two runs in every inning except the 3rd. Nebraska hit 5 homeruns. Texas hit 6 (to tie a school record set in 1953 against Baylor and in 1989 against Houston). I'd guess the combined number of homeruns is a new record and that the combined number of hits (40) is close to one. Carter and Johnson both hit two homers. Johnson was a triple short of hitting for the cycle. Several balls (I can't even remember how many at this point) were lost in the sun and misplayed by fielders on both teams allowing extra-base hits and runs scored. On another "unusual" note, of the four batters hit by Clements, 3 of them were in the 6th inning...and Moore was hit two of those times (as the lead-off batter and as the 10th batter of the inning). All-in-all, it was a very strange game. What a way to end the season.

And, so...
