Scouting the Huskers: 25-19
The Huskers are 4-6 in midweek contests this season but 2-1 when the road team in those matchups with the sole loss being the March 21 affair with Creighton when the Bluejays came back to walk off Nebraska 6-5.
In the last week Nebraska is 1-3 after falling in a midweek to North Dakota State Wednesday and dropping two of three in a weekend series at No. 23 Maryland. Across that span the Huskers offense is batting .235 which has bumped their season average down to .301. The pitching staff has also struggled in those four game, surrendering 44 runs (36 earned, 9.53 ERA) with a 2.00 WHIP.
Scouting the Bluejays: 22-18
The Bluejays are 2-5 in midweek contests this season with a 2-2 record when those games are on their home field of Charles Schwab Field Omaha.
After coming off a hot streak of eight games where the Bluejays went 7-1 and averaged 10.25 runs per game, Creighton's offense went cold over the weekend against Xavier, scoring just two runs in three games. In the 27 innings the Bluejays tallied just 14 hits, two walks, and 13 runners left on base.
A bright spot for the Bluejays of late has been the exceptional bullpen. Across the last six games in two conference weekend series, Creighton relievers own a 2.57 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 20 strikeouts in 21 innings pitched.
