Rice is coming back it seems. First they beat Elon Friday night in the cold.

Tonight they beat Nebraska, a very good baseball team 4-3 behind Taylor Wall's seven innings and Tyler Duffey's dominating final two innings. Duffey gets his first college win as Rice scored the go ahead run in the bottom of the 8th.

It was exciting. There was a balk that contributed in that 8th, which the Nebraska coach felt was unfair. He argued with the home plate umpire at the time, between innings and later as well. I myself do not understand how a righthander can balk to first base. There are ways of course but I did not see it. Of course one usually does not see the balk when it happens. That what we miss without TV replays.

The weather was slightly warmed tonight and I came much more prepared tonight.

The Duffey family sits in front of us. So we know who to congratulate from now on.
