Familiar Name Joins Husker Baseball Broadcast Team

Kyle Peterson MugCox Communications announced today that Kyle Peterson will be a part of the broadcast team for Saturday’s Nebraska baseball game against the University of Kansas. The 12:05 p.m. game at Hawks Field in Lincoln will be broadcast live on Cox Channel 2.

Peterson is a former all-state pitcher for Creighton Prep who went on to pitch for Stanford in the College World Series. He was named College Freshman of the Year in 1995 by Baseball America and went to play two years with the Milwaukee Brewers' organization.

On Saturday, Peterson will be the second analyst on the broadcast, joining former Husker baseball player Paul Meyers. Greg Sharpe will handle play-by-play and former Husker football player Damon Benning will serve as field reporter.

All of the Kevin Kugler conspirists will now claim that Peterson is a "homer" for the Huskers I suppose

Getting Kyle Peterson is a coup for Cox. I am sure he did a good job. Unfortunately, I was unable to hear him or see the game.

As for Kugler conspirists, everyone in the business knows all announcers on Nebraska sponsored events are on a tight leash. That is Greg Sharpe is doing play by play instead of Kugler. Just find someone who works at the Athletic Dept. If they are truthful with you, you will find out a lot. Ask them about emails sent to Pedersen ... LOL
