Update:
FINAL
Nebraska 7
Iowa 4
Huskers (26-13, 9-4 Big Ten) take Game 1 over Iowa (23-16, 9-7). Brett Sears wasn't his usual dominant self (5 IP, 8 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 4 K on 97 pitches) but Nebraska rallies from a 4-1 deficit in the 5th with Tyler Stone's game-tying 3-run HR, a go-ahead RBI double by Cole Evans in the 7th + two more runs in the 8th on an RBI double by Riley Silva and an additional insurance run.
If weather permits, Game 2 is tomorrow with 1:17pm CT first pitch and Game 3 is set to start at 1:05pm on Sunday.
==================================================================
Game 1 in this weekend's pivotal three-game series between Nebraska (25-13, 8-4 Big Ten) and Iowa (23-15, 9-6) is still on for now but has been delayed to first pitch time of 6:45 p.m. as the tarp is just about to be pulled off the field (at 5:30pm). Tonight's pitching matchup is set: Nebraska RHP Brett Sears (7-0, 1.58 ERA) vs. Iowa RHP Marcus Morgan (2-3, 7.44 ERA)
The winner of the series will almost certainly come out of the weekend sitting in the Top 3 in the Big Ten standings (at least in a tie for 3rd) heading into the final stretch of the conference slate in May.
