Five days after pitching a nine-inning no-hitter against Kansas State, Husker baseball’s Jackson Brockett got to meet the first and only other person to pull off the feat in Nebraska program history.
Richard Geier, resident at Legacy Retirement Communities (LegacyRetirement.com), threw the first no-hitter for Nebraska on April 20, 1954 (70 seasons ago) at just 19 years old. The two southpaws exchanged stories of baseball and life, with Geier sharing a scrapbook of articles and stats from his playing day. The two will forever be linked in the annals of Nebraska Baseball history. Congratulations to both Jackson and Dick!
