An odd weekend for the Nebraska baseball team this weekend as the Huskers (14-8-1) take on Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (13-14) in the first of two games this afternoon at Crutcher Scott Field on the campus of Abilene Christian. The Huskers will face the host school in game two that begins 45 minutes after this game between NU and the Islanders. Corpus Christi is looking to rebound after a 9-7 loss to Abilene Christian last night. The Islanders got out to a quick 5-1 lead in the third, but gave up six unanswered runs as the Wildcats closed out the victory. With four pitchers (three relievers) used last night for Corpus Christi, the bullpen will still be in relatively good shape, but not as good as Nebraska's.
Nebraska is coming off a 4-1 victory over North Dakota State Tuesday night as Will Walsh tossed seven innings of two-hit ball and Brice Matthews hit a three-run bomb to lift the Huskers to victory. They'll have a good shot on taking both today with co-aces Emmett Olson and Jace Kaminska both on the bump.
For game one, it's going to be LHP Emmett Olson (4-1, 3.68 ERA, 36.2 IP) vs. RHP Collin Purcell (2-1, 3.50 ERA, 36.0 IP). Here's the full series preview:
