husker baseball
Houston, Texas – The seventh-ranked Nebraska baseball team jumped to a five-run lead against No. 6 Rice, but could not hold on, as the Owls rallied for a 9-5 victory the Rice Invitational Saturday at Reckling Park.
The Owls, who improved to 8-4 on the season, took control of the contest with six runs in the fourth, taking advantage of a costly error and several defensive lapses by Nebraska (4-2) in the frame.
"We had the momentum, but they got it back in the fourth when we had some mental errors," Nebraska Head Coach Mike Anderson said. "Only one error showed up on the scoreboard, but we gave them seven outs in the inning. The bottom line is that you can’t do that in baseball. Rice is a good team, but the errors really turned it around today. This team will learn from it and be better."
Nebraska starter Charlie Shirek was in control through the first three frames before running into trouble, as the Owls took advantage of NU’s lapses to take the lead for good. Trailing 5-0, Rice opened the frame with three straight hits, including an RBI double by Joe Savery to get on the scoreboard. After a passed ball and a walk, Jess Buenger hit a grounder to first baseman Andrew Brown, whose throw to begin a double play was wide of second, pulling Rice within 5-3. Two batters later, Chad Lembeck hit a fielder’s choice to third, but Jeff Tezak fired home trying to catch a runner between third and home, but Aaron Luna scampered back to third to load the bases. A wild pitch and a walk reloaded the bases again before Shirek hit Brian Friday with the bases loaded to plate one run. Dan Jennings came in and uncorked a wild pitch to account for the Owls sixth run of the frame.
Shirek (1-1) took the loss, allowing six runs – two earned – over 3.2 innings of work after the Huskers chased Rice starter Ryan Berry after just 1.2 innings.
Nebraska used a two-out rally in the first inning, getting four straight two-out base hits, including RBI singles by Brown and Andy Gerch and a two-run triple from Nick Sullivan. With two outs and a runner on first, Brown put the Huskers on the board with an RBI single to score Tezak. Jake Opitz then singled to put runners on the corners before Gerch made it a 2-0 lead with a single to right. Sullivan then ripped the next pitch into the corner, clearing the bases and giving NU a four-run cushion.
In the second, the Huskers continued to threaten, loading the bases on singles by Bryce Nimmo and Tezak before a one-out walk to Brown loaded the bases. Opitz coaxed a bases-loaded walk to give NU a 5-0 lead, but Matt Langwell came in and got Gerch to fly out to stem the tide.
Tezak, Wehrle and Opitz all enjoyed two-hit days for NU, while Sullivan finished with two RBIs as part of his 1-for-4 afternoon.
Langwell was stellar in relief for Rice, allowing two singles over 5.2 innings of shutout ball to improve to 1-0 on the season, as he combined with Ryne Tucker to hold NU scoreless over the final seven innings.
"After the second inning, we did not have a good offensive focus," Anderson said. "We had 16 fly ball outs on the day. There is no chance that you are going to win games like that when you put the ball in the air that much. We are team that puts pressure on people, but you can’t put pressure on with fly balls."
Buenger drove in three runs for Rice, while Savery, Luna and Diego Seastrunk also had two hits apiece for the Rice, which added two runs in the sixth on Buenger’s two-run single, while Savery’s RBI triple in the sixth accounted for the Owls’ final run.
The Huskers finish tournament play on Sunday as they take on No. 27 Florida Atlantic beginning at Noon (central).

husker mens track tie
AMES, Iowa— Nebraska earned a tie for its ninth Big 12 Conference men’s indoor championships Saturday as the team race at the 2007 Big 12 Indoor Track and Field Championships came down to the final event in Ames, Iowa. The Huskers placed fifth in the women’s race with 69.50.
NU benefited from the perfect storm of circumstances to catch up to the Longhorns after finishing third in the men’s 4x400-meter relay to conclude the weekend. The NU squad of senior Nate Probasco and freshmen Scott Wims, Daniel Christensen and Lukas Hulett clocked in with a time of 3:07.90, while UT’s squad failed to earn a top-eight placing to knot the final score at 93-93.
The title marked Nebraska’s 98th all-time conference track championship between both men’s and women’s squads. The victory was due to a total team effort featuring big performances by several athletes, none which finished as individual champions. This marked the Huskers’ first conference championship team that did not feature an individual event winner.
One day after finishing runner-up in the men’s long jump with the best leap of his career, senior Daniel Roper grabbed second-place in the Big 12 triple jump competition. Roper jumped to a season-best distance of 51-8 ¼. The Plantation, Fla., native’s mark improved his standing to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships, as he moved into a tie for 14th place among all national marks entering the weekend.
The Husker men earned big team points in the pole vault, as senior Gable Baldwin and freshman Seth Burney earned second and third places, respectively, after each clearing 17-1 ½. Baldwin appeared in line to win the conference crown late in the competition, but Kansas’ Jordan Scott was able to reach the winning bar of 17-5 ½ on his third and final opportunity.
Adding a silver-medal showing for the NU men was junior Peter van der Westhuizen, who ran a personal-best time of 2:22.41 in the 1,000-meter run. Freshman Ethan Luebbe used a strong late-race push to earn fourth place (2:26.83) in his Big 12 Conference debut.
A pair of freshman sprinters provided the Huskers with a huge boost in the men’s 60-meter dash, as Scott Wims and Dax Danns finished third and fourth with respective times of 6.77 and 6.79. Both marks were personal bests. Wims added a fourth-place effort in the 200-meter dash with a clocking of 21.06, just ahead of senior All-America teammate Nate Probasco, who was fifth (21.14).
Junior Dusty Jonas grabbed his fifth top-five Big 12 men’s high jump placing in as many attempts with a third-place showing Saturday. Jonas cleared 7-1 ¾, but was unable to reach 7-3 in his three tries.
Skyler Reising earned his first career Big 12 placing with a sixth-place score of 5,333 in the men’s heptathlon. The score marked a lifetime-best effort for the Lincoln native, erasing his previous best of 5,121 set during an 11th-place showing at the 2006 conference indoor meet. Reising had a solid final day after entering Saturday in third place. He notched individual event bests in each of his three events—the 60-meter hurdles (8.91), pole vault (14-6) and 1,000 meters (2:47.55). Senior teammate Lee Martin placed 11th in the heptathlon with 4,997 points.
Several Husker men garnered all-conference status on the final day by finishing among the top eight in their respective events. Freshman Lukas Hulett placed sixth in the 400-meter dash (47.27) one day after notching the second-fastest time in school history.
Senior Jeni Steiner finished fifth in the women’s shot put, earning her a fifth career conference scoring position in the event. Steiner’s mark of 50-7 ¼ was her second-best this indoor season, as well as her second toss of more than 50 feet in as many weeks.
Adding team points for the Husker women were sophomore Natalja Zarcenko, the fifth-place individual in the mile(4:49.86); freshman Nikita Eades, who placed seventh in the women’s 60-meter hurdles (8.56); sophomore Zarinah Suluki-Drakes, the seventh-place finisher in the women’s triple jump (41-3); senior Sheryl Morgan, who despite falling during the final heat of the 400-meter dash still managed to earn seventh place; and senior Kim Pancoast, the eighth-place individual in the mile (4:53.07).
Nebraska takes a week off from the championship indoor circuit next week, as it attempts to land some additional last-minute qualifiers for the NCAA indoor meet, which will be held in two weeks at Fayetteville, Ark.
NU benefited from the perfect storm of circumstances to catch up to the Longhorns after finishing third in the men’s 4x400-meter relay to conclude the weekend.
