Page 10 Monday, April 2, 1G34 Daily Ncbraskan i i " 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." v t ( Davs TroutaDi"y Kcirtttcrn Left-handed pitcher Phil Harrison delivers a pitch early ia the Crct ce of Nebraska's double-header with Kecsss Etate.
