Another day here at Charles Schwab Field as No. 4 Nebraska (33-22-1) takes on No. 1 Maryland (39-19) in the second game of the B1G semifinals on this Saturday afternoon. No. 3 Iowa shutout No. 6 Michigan 5-0 earlier this morning in the other semifinal to lock up in a spot in Sunday's Championship at 2 p.m.
The Huskers kept their season alive last night by pitching their own shutout as Will Walsh dealt a complete-game shutout limiting No. 8 Michigan State to four hits with zero walks and seven strikeouts. Ben Columbus had a pair of RBI singles while Max Anderson had his second four-hit game of the season by going 4-for-5 with four singles. Here's that recap from last night:
Today's game at 1 p.m. between the Huskers and Terps could be the first of two depending if Nebraska wins. If NU takes the victory, then the second game will take place no earlier than 5 p.m. or one hour after the conclusion of the first game - whichever comes first.
With Walsh saving the Huskers' bullpen, NU will throw out LHP Jackson Brockett (2-1, 4.19 ERA) while Maryland has RHP Jason Savacool (7-5, 4.61 ERA). Savacool played a part in the Terrapin's 2-1 win over NU on Thursday as he was awarded the winning decision after throwing 20 pitches in a scoreless frame in the 10th.
Here's the Maryland opponent preview from Thursday:
