On the road again, but didn't have to venture far as Nebraska (21-14-1, 7-5) travels 45 miles east to take on in-state rival Omaha (15-17, 4-8) for the third and final game of this season series. Just like Sunday, the Huskers will look to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Mavericks after losing both games to UNO earlier in the season. On March 14, the bullpen ruined a good start from Michael Garza (three shutout innings) as the Nebraska bullpen allowed all 10 runs in a 10-6 defeat at Haymarket Park. Here's that recap:

Nearly a month later on April 11 Omaha again walked into Haymarket Park and came out with a 6-5 10-inning victory in a night that saw the Huskers struggle against Maverick pitching and ultimately fall up short in extras. Here's that recap:

Nebraska doesn't come into this game with any momentum as they look to bounce back after getting swept by rival Iowa over the weekend in Iowa City where the Hawkeyes controlled every game of that series. Here's that recap from the series finale:

It's a bullpen night for the Huskers as RHP Corbin Hawkins (2-0, 2.33 ERA) vs. RHP Jackson Gordon (0-1, 11.12 ERA). Hawkins was a starter last season and he's gone on some extended outings this season, so ideally you could get three innings from Hawkins tonight before turning it over to the bullpen. First pitch coming up at 7 p.m.
