Nebraska baseball (14-23, 4-7) hopes to avoid a sixth loss in seven games when they take on the Indiana Hoosiers (16-22, 4-7) in the series finale. The Huskers have made some major changes in the defensive lineup once again. Max Anderson will get the nod at first base and Efry Cervantes will play at third. Gabe Swansen will be the third Husker this series to fill the DH role.
Pitching Matchup:
Nebraksa RHP Koty Frank (Record: 2-0, 3.32 ERA, 40 K, 11 BB)
Vs.
Indiana LHP Grant Holderfield (Record: 2-2, 4.91 ERA, 42 K, 18 BB)
Frank fills the final TBD for Nebraska as expected. If there is any positive for the Huskers this weekend, it is that the bullpen is in good shape. Brockett will be available when Frank is done. Holderfield pitched for Indiana on Friday night and the decision to start him seems to be an indicator on what the Hoosiers think Nebraska is capable of at the plate. The left-hander went two innings in relief, allowed two hits and two earned runs while striking out four.
These teams are tied for ninth in the Big Ten and are each trying to make a push for the tourney so today's game certainly has some stakes.
