Nebraska baseball (14-21, 4-5) opens a three-game series with the Indiana Hoosiers (14-22, 2-7) tonight. First pitch is slated for 6 p.m. as the Huskers take their first road trip in 16 days. The Hoosiers are at home for the first time in 19 days and 10 games. The full preview of the series can be found HERE. Games on Friday and Saturday can be streamed on BTN+ and Sunday's contest will be televised nationally on the Big Ten Network.
PITCHING MATCHUP:
Nebraska's Shay Schanaman RHP (Record: 2-5, 3.66 ERA, 53 SO, 21 BB)
Vs.
Indiana's Jack Perkins RHP (Record: 2-2, 4.22 ERA, 54 SO, 28 BB)
I detailed these numbers in the preview but here is where Nebraska sits in several major statistical categories almost halfway through the conference schedule. Wisconsin does not have a baseball team so there are 13 teams in the conference.

I am here all weekend, so let's get the discussion going. Before (and during) the game, ask me anything. If you have a question about the baseball team, lay it on me. If you want to stay away from baseball and get to know me or my mighty KC Royals, that is fine too! Game updates begin with first pitch and will run through the end of the game.
