Dukart’s slam may turn NU around
By Mitch Sherman
Staff Reporter
Heading inlo Saturday’s game
against eighth-ranked Oklahoma
State, the Nebraska baseball team had
lost six straight games.
And going into
ihe seventh inning
ofSaturday’sgame
against the Cow
boys, the Huskers
trailed 7-0 and
looked like they
were headed for
seven losses in a
row.
I—i Then up stepped
Dukart third baseman
Derek Dukart.
The 6-foot-4-inch, 205-pound se
nior from Milwaukic, Ore., launched
a grand slam over the right center
field fence to ignite the Huskers. A1 vie
Shepherd followed Dukart’s homer
with a solo shot, and the rest was
history.
Nebraska won Saturday’s game 8
7 and thumped the Cowboys 10-3 on
Sunday toclimboutofthe cellar in the
Big Eight and improve its record to
14-15 overall and 2-6 in conference
play.
“That big inning was the kind of
thing that we really needed,” Nebraska
coach John Sanders said. “It really
helped, and it builds confidence.”
The Huskers needed the offensive
confidence. During their six straight
losses, the Cornhuskers had amassed
a total of 17 runs, while giving up 44.
Dukart again homcrcd Wednesday
night to help Nebraska win the second
game of a doublehcaderat Iowa State.
Dukart, who leads Nebraska with a
.383 average, has hit five home runs
this season. His four RBI on Saturday
were the biggest, he said.
“We were kind of struggling,”
Dukart said. “Nothing was really hap
pening for our team, and i t was k ind of
an emotional lift.”
As a sen ior on a young team, Dukart
said, providing a key hit is part of his
job.
“I feel like I need to step up in big
situations,” he said. “Whether it is
getting an RBI when we need it or
leading off the inning by getting on
base, that’s what the team leaders
need to do.”
At this point in the season, some
body needed to spark the Huskers,
Dukart said. And with All-American
Troy Brohawn on the bench with a
broken foot, he said, the Huskers
weren’t feeling like winners.
But now Brohawn is back, and
Nebraska may have finally turned the
corner after a 12-15 start.
“Having Troy out of the lineup
really hurt,” Dukart said, “and when
he gets back on the mound, it will help
out quite a bit.
“I think it’s a psychological edge
for us that we came back strong last
year. Now, with two straight wins
over a good team, we can get on a
roll.”
The Huskers won 23 of their final
31 games last season but were shut out
of regionals. This year, Dukart said,
they want to play in the postseason.
“Our goal is to win games,” he

more of a big deal."
More times than not last season,
Frazier battled injuries, ranging from
his ankle to his shoulder. He sal out
part ofthe Kansas game and played in
pain during the Colorado game be
cause of the shoulder injury.
With Nebraska’s lack of depth at
quarterback — the Huskers have just
two scholarship quarterbacks this
spring—remaining healthy isa must,
Frazier said.
“Only a couple days earlier I
thought about how 1 really needed to
stay healthy,” he said. “Once it (the
ankle) gets healthy, all I have to do is
keep it healthy. I shouldn’t have any
more problems with it once it heals.
“It won’t be the type of injury that
keeps bothering me. I just have to try
to make this the last time I have to
worry about an injury.”

with Cyclones
From Staff Reports

said. “Wc have got to have a second
half like wc did last year, and hope
fully wc will get in this year.”
He stressed the importance of Ne
braska winning close games down the
stretch.
During the Huskers’ six-game skid,

“It has been really frustrating los
ing some of the games that wc have
lost,” Dukart said. “Our pitching has
been there, but we haven’t had the
hitting.”
