They may not be as numerous as Ali Daba's band
of 40, but Nebraska's baseball thieves are just as
skilled.
In sweeping a four-game weekend series with
Kansas, Nebraska baserunners stole 21 bases in 25
attempts. The Huskers won 5-2 and 5-0 Saturday,
and 4-1 and 3-1 Sunday.
"We've had some excellent games running," Ne
braska Coach John Sanders said, "but this might be
the best series ever for running."
Scott Hooper, with six stolen bases, broke Bob
Cerv's career stolen base record of 61, hiking hb
total to 62.
Paul Meyers accomplished a rare perfecta, steal
ing every base in scoring a run during the eighth
inning of Sunday's first game.
Nine of 11 Nebraska fielders had at least one
stolen base during the series sweep, which raised
Nebraska's record to 32-10 and 12-1 in the Big Eight
conference.
The Huskers needed success on the basepaths to
make up for a hitting slump. In 99 at-bats, Nebraska
collected only 22 hits, a .222 average.
"We found ways to win two games with only eight
hits," Sanders said after Sunday's games. "That's
positive. Chances are we wouldn't get only eight hits
in 14 innin3 of hitting again."
Sanders said Nebraska was able to overcome a
lack of punch by creating pressure on the Jayhawk
fielders.
Nebraska scored its first run in Sunday's opener
as a direct result of a Kansas throwing error. Hooper
had reached base on an error, then drew four con
secutive throws from Jayhawk pitcher Kevin
Kroeker.
Kroeker's fifth pick-off attempt bounced away
from first baseman Dan Christie, and Hooper
scooted to third. He then scored on Meyers'
ground-out.

The second game against Kansas was a complete
turn-around for Nebraska, Daigle said.

around," he said. "It was a real disappointment."

Oklahoma State, ranked fifth in the country, in the
previous game.
