Almost game time here at Eck Stadium in Wichita, Kansas. Nebraska (5-3) takes on Wichita State (6-0) in the first contest of a three-game weekend series. First pitch from Codi Heuer to Angelo Altavilla is set for shortly after 3:00 p.m.
Today's game will only be broadcast on Huskers.com (and the Huskers app) due to the basketball game. A live stream is available via subscription to Shocker HD.
The pitching matchup features Nebraska senior right-hander Luis Alvarado (0-0, 2.53 ERA, 10.2 IP, 14 K) and Wichita State junior right-hander Codi Heuer (1-0, 6.30 ERA, 10.0 IP, 12 K).
Lineups:
Today's game is imperative for Nebraska to set the tone against WSU's worst statistical starting pitcher. If Alvarado can pound the zone low, I like the Huskers' chances in this one.
Scoreboard: (Line score - runs, hits, errors)
NEB: 000 000 01 - 1 6 1
WSU: 000 401 4 - 9 7 0
