The Nebraska baseball team (28-16, 8-7 Big Ten) gets back to the Big Ten schedule this weekend after hosting Cal-State Bakersfield in non-conference play last weekend at Hawks Field. The Huskers, who enter the week 8-7 in the Big Ten, and are tied for fourth in conference standing with Michigan State, Illinois and Penn State, and have a chance to move into second place in the conference this weekend, as Indiana is tied with Minnesota for second in the league with a 9-6 record.
Saturday’s series opener marks the first game between the two programs since 1906, when the Huskers made the trip to Bloomington.
The Indiana Hoosiers enter the weekend series as one of the hottest teams in the Big Ten, as they are tied with Minnesota for the No. 2 spot in the conference.
The Hoosiers are on a four-game winning streak, their longest of the year, following a win over Miami, Ohio, and a sweep of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Indiana is a game under .500 on the season with a 22-23 overall record, but has picked up its play during the Big Ten slate with a 9-6 record.
You can hear the Saturday game on A-M 1230, KTNC beginning with coverage at 11:30 a-m. We will join the Sunday baseball coverage in progress around 11:30 a-m on KTNC.
