The Nebraska baseball team is taking on Rutgers at 10:00 this morning in Piscataway, New Jersey. The Huskers topped the Scarlet Knights yesterday 15-5. They split their two pod-series games with Indiana this weekend, winning in walk-off fashion Saturday 7-6, but falling 4-2 yesterday. The Huskers are still just a half game back of the Hoosiers and Michigan for first place in the Big Ten Standings.
The Husker softball team went 1-3 in Iowa City this past weekend. They close out the reguular season this weekend with a four game series at Northwestern.
In Husker football news: Wide Receivers Jamie Nance and Demariyon Houston have entered their names into transfer portal. The 6-foot, 180-pound Nance is the fourth and final scholarship member of Nebraska’s 2019 recruiting class to leave the program. A redshirt freshman this coming season because of last year’s free Covid season, Nance appeared in only one game last season. The 6-foot, 185-pound Houston never saw the field in his two years at Nebraska. They are second and third players to enter the transfer portal, joining back-up tight end Kurt Rafdal who left the program at the start of spring practice.
The Creighton Baseball team’s doubleheader at Butler was cancelled yesterday due to heavy rain in Indianapolis. The Bluejays settled for a two-game sweep of the Bulldogs, taking both halves of the Saturday doubleheader. Friday’s series opener was also rained out. The Bluejays continue on the road this weekend with a four game series at St. Johns.
The UNO baseball team went 1-3 against North Dakota State this past weekend in Fargo. The Mavs will host Oral Roberts in a four game series at Tal Anderson Field this weekend.
The UNK men finished in 7th place, and the women in 8th at the 2021 MIAA Outdoor Championships in Pittsburg, Kansas. The Lopers will take part in “Last Chance” meets this week with the NCAA Outdoor Championships set for later this month in Michigan.
