Nebraska baseball's offense went cold, and Grand Canyon eventually took advantage to send the Huskers heading back to the snowy north after their first close loss of the year.
The Huskers had been on a roll, with their bats blazing and their pitching staff dealing, but all of that came to a screeching halt as they faced off against Grand Canyon.
From the opening pitch, it was clear that something was off for Nebraska. Their swings were late, their timing was off, and they just couldn't seem to get anything going against Grand Canyon's starter.
As the game wore on, the Huskers' struggles only intensified. They managed to scratch out a few hits, but they couldn't string anything together, and before they knew it, they were staring up at a deficit that seemed insurmountable.
Grand Canyon, on the other hand, was clicking on all cylinders. Their offense was firing on all pistons, and they were able to take advantage of every Nebraska mistake to build a lead that would prove to be insurmountable.
Despite their best efforts, the Huskers just couldn't seem to get out of their own way. They made error after error, and Grand Canyon was happy to capitalize on each and every one of them.
In the end, it was a disappointing loss for Nebraska, but they know that they can't let one setback derail their entire season. They'll regroup, recharge, and come back stronger than ever, ready to take on their next opponent and get back to their winning ways.
For now, though, the Huskers will just have to swallow their pride and head back to the snowy north, wondering what could have been if they had just been able to get their offense going.
