#Alex gordon game tying homer full#
Matthews worked a full count and then absolutely obliterated a ball over the Creighton dugout to give the Big Red the immediate 1-0 lead. It would be easy to see a team coming off the loss in a short game, with the starting advantage the Huskers had and have that carry over to the next game, but Brice Matthews showed right away that he wouldn’t let that happen.
Will Walsh came in and got the Huskers out of the jam, and Nebraska was able to get the tying run to third base in the bottom of the 8th with 2 outs, but could not complete the comeback, losing 6-5. Gabe Swansen was able to hit a sacrifice fly to bring in one run, but a double play got the Bluejays out of the huge jam, exactly what they were hoping for when they walked off the field completely when Nebraska had all the momentum on the previous evening.Ĭreighton used that momentum on the offensive end, using a hit-by-pitch followed up by back to back doubles off of Shay Schanaman to snatch the lead right back from the Huskers.
The resumed game started in a 4-4 tie, with the bases full of Huskers in the bottom of the 7th with no outs.
A long night at Charles Schwab Field for both the Huskers and Bluejays (and a small warmup for baseball writers attending the Big Ten Tournament) started with the final two and a half innings of the game that was suspended due to lightning from April 18th, before the regularly scheduled game between the two teams took place.
