Scouting the Huskers: 21-11-1
Nebraska has won four of its last five games, including a home weekend sweep of Northwestern. The Huskers are 10-3 in games at Hawks Field at Haymarket Park.
The Huskers are hitting an impressive .316 as team, led by a pair of hitters over .400. Max Anderson leads Nebraska with a .417 average, while Brice Matthews brings a .409 mark into Tuesday's battle.
On the mound Huskers have a team ERA of 4.44, while starter Kyle Perry has a 4.97 ERA in 12.2 innings.
Scouting the Bluejays: 15-14
The Bluejays come into the midweek contest with Nebraska looking to find their stride. Creighton lost the final two games of the weekend set at Georgetown.
Creighton is hitting .246 as a team, led by Nolan Sailors (.336), Sterling Hayes (.289), Nolan Clifford (.283) and Jack Grace (.282).
On the mound the Bluejays bring a team ERA of 5.57, but starter Justin Kleinsorge has a 5.16 mark.
Creighton Displays Resilience in Win at Georgetown
After racing out to an 11-0 lead, Creighton Baseball found itself locked in a tie game at 11-11 in the fifth. Undaunted the Bluejays reclaimed the lead with four runs in the sixth to earn a 15-11 win over Georgetown in the series opener on Friday, April 14.
Creighton reclaimed the lead with a home run from grad transfer Tyler Lozano to left. A pair of walks and three straight singles from sophomore Hogan Helligso, freshman Tate Gillen and sophomore Nolan Sailors pushed Creighton's advantage to 15-11.
In-State Rivalries Have Intensified of Late
Rivalries truly begin when wins come on all sides. Until recently Nebraska owned the series with Creighton as well as Omaha. Over the last five years, however, the Bluejays and Mavericks began to assert themselves.
Recall 2019 when all three teams in the State of Nebraska reached the NCAA Tournament.
