Darin Erstad has been around baseball all his life, and he had to admit he had never seen an entire team slip into slumber at the plate like his Nebraska baseball team did this year.
The Huskers (37-22) were erased from the Big Ten Tournament, batting .100 for two games, and hit just .142 in two NCAA regional games. That’s a .120 average for four tournament games from a team that was slugging through the Big Ten schedule, eclipsing almost all of the offensive numbers for the 2015 season.
“We’re going to have to upgrade the entire program,” Erstad said Tuesday.
