Huskers Begin Busy Week with Creighton and Iowa

 

Huskers Begin Busy Week with Creighton and Iowa

Lincoln -- The Nebraska baseball team embarks on one of its biggest weeks of the season, playing five games in a six-day span beginning Tuesday evening.

 

The Huskers (25-3 overall and 5-1 in the Big 12) begin the week by making the 55-mile drive from Lincoln to Omaha’s Rosenblatt Stadium for a contest against in-state rival Creighton. The game will be carried on the Pinnacle Sports Network, including KLIN 1400 AM (Lincoln), KFAB 1110 AM (Lincoln) and KRVN 880 AM (Lexington).

 

Tickets for the matchup are available at Rosenblatt Stadium on Tuesday afternoon, as a large walk up crowd is expected. The game, the first of two contests in Omaha this season (also May 10) has drawn crowds in excess of 10,000 in each of the past five seasons.

 

Behind Johnny Dorn’s near no-hitter, the Huskers snapped the Bluejays’ 12-game win streak with a 10-2 victory in the teams’ first matchup on March 29. The first meeting drew a Hawks Field regular-season record crowd of 7,278, and Tuesday’s crowd is expected to easily top that mark.

Huskers took a dump last night at Rosenblatt

 

Daeges' clutch double propels CU to 4-3 win over Huskers

 

OMAHA — Matt Daeges tried to act as if it was just another win, but the sheepish smile on his face gave it all away.

 

After the Creighton senior ripped a pinch-hit, game-winning RBI double in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat Nebraska 4-3 on Tuesday night at Rosenblatt Stadium, the game’s storyline shifted from a coincidence to near a fairytale ending for the Bluejays.

 

Huskers Drop 4-3 Decision to Bluejays

 

Omaha –Matt Daeges’ pinch-hit RBI double in the bottom of the ninth broke a 3-all tie, as Creighton edged fourth-ranked Nebraska, 4-3, in front of 7,012 at Omaha’s Rosenblatt Stadium Tuesday evening.

 

With one out, Gabe Lapito singled to left before Daeges slapped a 1-1 pitch from Husker reliever Dustin Timm down the third base line past a diving Alex Gordon. The ball went into NU bullpen before left fielder Brandon Fusilier was able to retrieve it and throw out Lapito as he scoring the game-winning win.

THIS WEEK • The Hawkeyes play some strong competition this week with a Wednesday game at No. 4 Nebraska and a four-game series at Michigan. Wednesday's game in Lincoln is set to begin at 6:05 p.m. Friday's game in Ann Arbor will start at 3 p.m., with Saturday's doubleheader and Sunday's single game starting at 1 p.m. All times are Central.

 

HAWKEYES ON THE SMALL SCREEN • Wednesday's matchup with the No. 4 Nebraska Cornhuskers will be broadcast to a national TV audience on CSTV. Mediacom Cable does not carry CSTV in Iowa City, but dish owners with the DirecTV Sports Pack will be able to catch the game on channel 610.

 

HAWKEYES ON THE AIR • If you can't make the road trip to Lincoln and you don't have CSTV, you can still catch all the Hawkeye action on AM 800 KXIC. The pregame show will begin a half hour before the game. Voice of the Hawkeyes Brent Balbinot will call the play-by-play, with West High assistant baseball coach Tom Cronk supplying color commentary.

 

HAWKEYES ON THE NET • Iowa baseball fans can follow the Hawkeyes this weekend, as live stats will be available on www.hawkeyesports.com. Just click on the Gametracker link found on both the front page and the baseball schedule page.

 

LOOKING BACK • The University of Iowa baseball team split a four-game series with the Michigan State Spartans. The Hawkeyes lost game one 3-1, then came back to take Saturday's first game 7-6. The Spartans took game two of the doubleheader 11-5, but Iowa rebounded to win Sunday's game 10-7.

 

Friday's game was a classic Big Ten pitcher's dual between Iowa's Luke O'Loughlin and Michigan State's Tim Day. O'Loughlin scattered 10 hits over 8 1/3 innings, striking out nine while walking just one. Day was just a notch better, picking up the win by throwing a complete game and striking out five.

 

The Hawkeyes made things very interesting in game one Saturday, blowing a three-run seventh inning lead only to come back and win the game in the bottom of the inning.

 

Leading 6-3 in the final inning, the Hawkeyes gave up three runs to let the Spartans tie things up.

 

The Hawkeyes came into the bottom of the seventh determined not to let their first conference win slip away, quickly loading the bases with one out. Pinch hitter Skylar Moss ripped a line drive off the second baseman's glove, allowing Jesse Brownell to come home with the winning run.

 

In game two, the Spartans pounded out 12 hits on five different Hawkeye pitchers. Down 11-2 in the bottom of the seventh, the Hawkeyes did what they could to get back in the game, scoring a trio of runs in the final frame, but it wasn't enough.

 

The Hawkeyes were impressive at the plate in Sunday's win, pounding out 11 hits on the day. Senior designated hitter Kris Welker led the way for Iowa, going 3-5 with three RBIs. The Montana native was a triple short of the cycle, picking up a single, double and home run.

 

SCOUTING NEBRASKA • The Nebraska Cornhuskers are 25-3 and ranked fourth by Collegiate Baseball. The Huskers are coming off a three-game sweep of Oklahoma State, and will play Creighton Tuesday before entertaining the Hawkeyes.

 

The Husker offense is paced by 2004 Big XII Player of the Year and first team all-American Alex Gordon, who is hitting .417 with 11 home runs and 30 RBIs. As a team, Nebraska is hitting .324.

 

On the hill, the Huskers have a team ERA of 2.15.

 

The all-time series between Nebraska and Iowa is tied 7-7.

 

Nebraska is coached by Mike Anderson, who is in his third year at the helm.
