Back in Haymarket Park for the first time since last Tuesday as Nebraska (11-7-1) opens Big Ten play against Illinois (10-7) in first game of a three-game series this weekend at Hawks field. Huskers are looking to shift their focus and take care of business after dropping a 6-5 walk-off defeat to in-state rival Creighton on Tuesday in Omaha. Still plenty of question marks for this Nebraska team as we head into conference play such as the Sunday starter and the trusted arms within the bullpen.
Friday could become a pitching dual as it will be LHP Emmett Olson (3-1, 3.34 ERA, 29.0 IP) vs. RHP Riley Gowens (1-0, 4.33 ERA, 27.0 IP)
Tonight's crowd is expected to be rowdy tonight as Nebraska retires the first three jerseys in program history as Alex Gordan, Shane Komine and Darin Erstad will all return and each throw out the game's first pitch. Additionally, with a huge junior day weekend upon us for football, most of those visitors are expected to be in attendance including 2024 No. 1 overall prospect Dylan Raiola.
