It was the former Lincoln Southeast finest day of the season and gave the Cornhuskers a shutout sweep of the series with the Friday NT took both ends of a twin bill by identical 2-0 counts. Control trouble has plagued Sieck this spring, but he knew where the plate was Saturday. Keith struck out 9 Buffs and issued only 3 w'alks.

Gale Weidner, Colorado centerfielder and football quarterback, got two of the 4 singles off Sieck. So tough as Sieck that only one Buff made it as far as second base after the first inning. That was Rob Bennett who walked and was sacrificed to second. Except for two singles, a walk to pinchhitter Leon Mavity in the 8th and pinchhitter Chuck single in the 9th, Colorado went down in order. Nebraska fare much better against the offerings of Buff Don Gunsales.
