U sweeps double
header with pCmi
By Stu Pospisil
Pickoffs and strikeouts enabled Neb
raska's baseball team to retain a share
of the Big Eight conference lead after
the Huskers defeated Kansas State 6-0
and 4-1 in a Sunday doubleheader at
Buck Beltzer Field.
In the first game, Nebraska fresh
man pitcher Phil Harrison picked off
four unsuspecting Wildcat baserunners
while striking out 12 in the complete
game shutout.
Jeff Koenigsman, after a shaky first
inning, completed Nebraska's sweep
by pitching a four-hitter, striking out
nine while walking two.
By sweeping the four-game weekend
series with Kansas State, Nebraska
kept its conference record unblemished
at 7-0. The Huskers had previously
swept a weather-plagued three-game
series at Missouri
Oklahoma, with a 4-0 record, is tied
with Nebraska on the basis of winning
percentage. The Sooners, however, must
play fifth-ranked Oklahoma State in a
doubleheader this afternoon.
Nebraska Coach John Sanders said
the pickoff "gives us an added weapon.
It's almost an offensive defense. Even if
we don't pick off someone, we keep
them close."
Sanders credits assistant Coach
Mike Evans with working with his
pitching staff, especially with left
handers, on their move to first base.
Koenigsman worked his way out of a
first-inning jam that: began with him
hitting lead-of batter Jay Kvasnicka.
Kansas State's Brian Bascue then
bashed a two-out double off the right
centerfield fence, scoring Kvasnicka.
After a walk, Koenigsman got Scott
Graves to ground out.
Nebraska then exploded in the third
inning on only one hit, a two-run dou
ble by Mike Duncan. After two walks
and a fielder's choice loaded the bases,
Craig Radcliffe scored on Scott Hoop
er's sacrifice fly. Freshman Paul Mey
ers' blooper to right was mishandled
by second baseman Kvasnicka before
Duncan followed with his double.
In the sixth inning, the Wildcats had
runners on first and second with two
out, but Koenigsman got David Ban
ning to ground to third baseman Hooper
for an inning-ended fielder's choice.
"We didn't feel good at that point,"
Sanders said, "especially with two men
open and the win blowing to left field."
Meyers broke open the first game
with a two-run single in a four-run
third inning. Duncan's double to left
field scored Meyers, then Rich King
scored Duncan on a suicide-sqeeze
bunt.
Nebraska tagged Wildcat pitcher Mike
Wilkerson for 10 hits, but could only
score one run in its final five innings, a
sacrifice fly by Meyers.
Meyers, who leads Nebraska batters
with 36 runs batted in, said he has the
advantage when facing pitchers.
"They've never seen me hit before,"
Meyers said. They dont know if they
are pitching to my strength or my
weakness."
