In its first game being ranked since June 2021, Nebraska baseball got off to a lousy start. They were playing the hated Creighton Bluejays in the notorious pitcher’s park of Charles Schwab Field, but unlike most spring/summer nights, the wind was blowing straight out to center field. Both teams were throwing pitchers that had a ton of success in that very stadium.
Will Walsh took the mound for Nebraska, fresh off back to back midweek quality starts, including 6 shutout innings in his last start. Creighton went with Malakai Vetock, someone that had held Nebraska scoreless in his last two outings against the Huskers.
