Nebraska Cornhuskers News: Jackson Brockett's big day, more

Jackson Brockett has had a heck of a last seven days. Of course, there was the no-hitter he threw for the first time in decades. But on Monday, he also got to meet the last Nebraska Cornhuskers star who knows what it was like to throw nine no-hit innings.

Brockett got to meet Richard Geier, the man who threw a no-hitter 70 years ago. In that game, he struck out 10 on his way to no-hitting the Kansas Jayhawks en route to a 1-0 win for the Huskers. Brockett, meanwhile, struck out 12 in his 9 innings of no hit baseball against Kansas State, weirdly enough.

Brockett got to sit down with the former Nebraska Cornhuskers star and have some coffee and talk about what it's like to have a game like the ones they both did, so many years apart.

That wasn't the end of Brockett's big day though. Just after he finished the meeting with Geier, he got some more good news. He was also named the Perfect Game USA national pitcher of the week.

That's hardly surprising, of course. It's not like there were a ton of pitchers throwing no-hitters last week. Brockett was a no-brainer pick when it was all said and done.

He was also named the D1.com pitcher of the week. One has to think that he's going to get another start to show that what he did last Wednesday wasn't a fluke.
