ings
in the first game and failed to garner a single hit
off the Nebraska giant. The Aggie runs all came in the
first inning as the result of Nebraska errors.
"Choppy" Rhodes twirling the second game of the series
for Nebraska was easily the star of the game, striking
out three pinch hitters in a row in the ninth, and
hitting out a home run, a three-bagger and two singles
in five times at bat, The Nebraska batsmen found the
Aggie pitchers for fifteen hits, while the Aggies
touched Rhodes for seven safe bingles
The Scarlet and
Cream pastimers lost the first home game of the season
to Ames in a fifteen-inning battle, 5 to 3. Rhodes was
on the mound for Nebraska and pitched perfect ball,
striking out twenty men and allowing only four hits.
Errors by Andresen in the fifteenth spelled defeat for
Nebraska. The second game of the series was a
brilliant pitchers' battle with Wright opposing Lang
on the mound. Lang allowed the Ames crew but three
hits while his team mates found Wright for five and
the Huskers won 1 to 0. Coming from behind in the
seventh inning the Oklahoma team found Rhodes for five
hits in a game played at the College of Agriculture
campus, and scored three runs after the Huskers had
led them 3 to 1, and Rhodes had turned their batsmen
away hitless for seven innings. A heavy field hindered
both teams, and further rain during the night forced
the cancellation of the second game of the series.
With six errors
behind him Lang lost his first Valley game out of nine
starts, to the Kansas Aggies at Lincoln, 6 to 2. Hits
were even, both teams swatting out six safe ones. The
heavy stick work of Collins and Andresen featured the
game for Nebraska. The second game of the series
proved easy for the Huskers with Rhodes on the mound.
The score was 6 to 1.
The last two games
of the season, with Ames, were both victories for
Nebraska. Domeier pitched the first game for Nebraska,
allowing the Ames stickers only five hits. His
teammates worked well behind him, running in 14
Scores- Lang was on the mound for Nebraska in the
Second game, winning handily 4 to 1.
