Marcus Morgan got the start last night (Fri Apr 26, 2024) at Nebraska (Iowa would lose 7-4).

The 3rd batter singled (advanced to 2nd when the Neb lead runner was thrown out at home). Marcus hit the 4th batter, putting runners at 2nd and 1st with 2 OUTS.

A Watts' wild pitch advanced the runner to 3rd. The 7th batter walked. The 8th batter flied out for the 3rd out. After 5 complete innings, the game was tied 4-4.

Cade Obermueller would have normally gotten the start for Saturday April 27, 2024's game.

Instead, it was a bullpen game. I did not see anything on why Cade didn't start.

The 3rd batter got hit, putting runners on 1st and 2nd. With NO OUTS, Heller went to the bullpen & brought in Beuter. A sac bunt (OUT #1) by the 4th batter advances the runners to 2nd and 3rd. The 5th batter struck out (OUT #2). The 6th batter singled, driving in 2 runs. The next batter grounded out. After 4 innings, Nebraska led 4-1.

Nebby would score 4 more runs in the 5th inning, 1 run in the 6th inning and 3 more runs in the 7th inning to 10-run rule the Hawks, 12-2.
