FOLKS
We have baseball today. With severe weather looming, Nebraska baseball (17-23, 5-7) and will face Iowa (24-13, 8-4). The Hawkeyes are red hot winning 16 of the last 21 games and eight of the last nine. In the other dugout, the Huskers have won three in a row. Something has to give.
Iowa is 15-1 in games without an error this season and has the Big Ten's second best ERA at 3.49. The Hawkeye pitching staff leads the conference in strikeouts with 444 this season juxtaposed with a Nebraska offense that strikes out at the highest rate of any Big Ten team with 372.

The Huskers are going with the same lineup that has garnered this winning streak.
