Power, speed help leadoff batter hit Huskers home with a punch By unris Main Staff Reporter Designated hitter Amy Offcnbacker pul a little punch into Nebraska’s offense this weekend against Missouri, with a couple of home runs from an unlikely position. Offcnbackcr, Nebraska’s Icadoff hitter, started off Nebraska’s win against Missouri, Saturday, with a home run that took a while to get out of the park. Nebraska softball coach Rhonda Rcvcllc said Offcnbackcr muscled that bailout, which tied the game 1-1, but got a clean cut on the ball she took out of the park in Nebraska’s second game Sunday. In the third inning of Ncbraska’s4 1 win Sunday, Offcnbackcr hit her second sblo home hin of the weekend to boost the Husker lead to 3-0 over the Tigers. — *• If I can make the pitcher lose her confidence a little I think it helps out the team. — Offenbacker UNL designated hitter --- ii — “It’s a great feeling,” Offcnbackcr said, “except I wish I could gel some one on base when I hit one.” Offcnbackcr leads the team in home runs with four. That lies her for 1(>th on Nebraska’s all-time charts for most home runs in a season. She says she likes the fact that she doesn’t fit the Icadoff hitler’s tradi tional mold. “I think it’s a big advantage,” Offcnbackcr said. “Generally Icadoff hitters are seen as the Quick, little singles hitter.” Offen backer docs fitoncuualily of w w a leadoff hitler—the ability to gel on base. She had two walks in game one on Saturday, and leads the team with 19, a number that also places her on the Husker all-time charts. “She has a real good eye,” Rcvellc said. “She’s lough on pitchers and has good speed.” Offenbacker says she likes to work the count a lot, and that aspect, com bined with her power, can really throw opposing pitchers off balance. “If I can make the pitcher lose her confidence a little I think it helps out the team.” I PASS THE CPA EXAM, p GUARANTEED. ^ Planning to take the November 1993 or any future CPA exam?
