Here at Haymarket Park for game 31 of the season for Nebraska (18-11-1) who looks to get back on track as they take on Northwestern (5-22) to get back into Big Ten play. It hasn't been a great week for the Huskers who lost to in-state rival Omaha 6-5 in 10 innings on Tuesday at Hawks Field. It clinched the season series for the Mavericks who did so over Nebraska for the firs time since moving up to Division I. The Huskers have a great opportunity to bounce back against a Wildcat team that has a pitching staff ranked 281st in the country in team ERA and has the second-worst offense in the conference.
Today it'll be LHP Emmett Olson (5-1, 3.04 ERA, 50.1 IP) vs. RHP Matt McClure (1-4, 6.53 ERA) in the pitching matchup. Olson is coming off his best career start last week against Michigan when he went 7.2 IP allowing one run on two hits with eight strikeouts. He'll face a pitcher in McClure who's stepped it up in his last four starts with a 3.68 ERA in the last 22 innings. Here's the full series preview to get you ready for the weekend.
