huskerswrkhavoc Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Husker Baseball Announces 2010 Schedulebullet 2010 Baseball Schedule Lincoln – A total of 31 contests against NCAA Tournament teams and 26 home games at Hawks Field at Haymarket Park highlight the 2010 Nebraska baseball schedule released Wednesday. The 54-game schedule includes matchups with College World Series runner-up Texas and Super Regional qualifiers Rice along with home games against Texas A&M, Wichita State, Oklahoma and Creighton. According to Head Coach Mike Anderson, the upcoming schedule will pose a test to the 2010 Husker squad. “We will be challenged early, there is no doubt about that,” Anderson said. “I think it is going to be as tough as our 2007 schedule, which I thought was the most difficult one we faced here, but that is by design. With a young team, sometimes you look for an opportunity to schedule down, but we saw our schedule as an opportunity to help us get better early. We looked at it as choosing to run toward the fight and didn’t want to back down.” The Huskers will open the 2010 campaign on Friday, Feb. 19, when Nebraska begins a four-game series at Fresno State, home of the 2008 College World Series champions. The following weekend, the Huskers will head to Houston for the Rice Invitational and a field that includes the host Owls, who reached a Super Regional in 2009, and Elon, which led the nation in homers last year in earning an NCAA Tournament bid. “We are fortunate to get Fresno State when the NCAA pushed the schedule up a week this year,” Anderson said. “It not only benefits us this year, but also in the future when both Fresno State and UCLA come to Lincoln (as part of home-and-home series). The first part of our non-conference schedule will help us to get ready to open the Big 12 season at Texas. If we can take advantage of that, we can build a pretty good RPI and that will help us be where we want to be at the end of the season.” The home portion of the schedule begins on Tuesday, March 2, when the Huskers host South Dakota State at 1:05 p.m., before returning to the West Coast for a three-game series at UCLA (March 5-7). It is the first time the Huskers have faced UCLA since the 2004 San Diego State Invitational. The UCLA series ends a stretch where the Huskers play 10 of their first 11 games away from Hawks Field. The Huskers will spend the majority of the month at Hawks Field with a four-game set against Nebraska-Kearney and Houston Baptist (March 10-14) and a seven-game homestand that features a three-game series with Oklahoma (March 26-28). The only time the Huskers travel in that time is for a three-game series at 2009 College World Series runner-up Texas (March 19-21) to open Big 12 Conference action. The April slate features a number of Big 12 matchups, including road series at Oklahoma State (April 2-4), Kansas State (April 9-11) and Baylor (April 23-25). The month also features a pair of games against Creighton, including the series opener at Hawks Field on April 6 and the first of two meetings at Omaha’s Rosenblatt Stadium on April 20. NU also hosts 2009 NCAA Tournament qualifier Wichita State on April 13, and travels to Des Moines, Iowa, for a battle with Iowa at Principal Park, home of the Triple-A Iowa Cubs on Tuesday, April 27. The final game of April leads into a home-heavy slate in May, as Nebraska begins a three-game series with Texas A&M on April 30. The only time the Huskers leave the state during the final month of the regular season is a three-game series at Missouri (May 14-16), as the Huskers will host Southeast Missouri State (May 7-9) and Texas Tech (May 21-23) at Hawks Field. The only other non-conference game in the month is the final matchup between the Huskers and Bluejays at Rosenblatt Stadium on Tuesday, May 18. The postseason begins on Wednesday, May 26, as Bricktown Ballpark plays host to the Big 12 Championship. The NCAA Tournament begins on Friday June 4. The 2010 College World Series – the last one at Rosenblatt Stadium – is set for June 19-30.
