After an embarrassing 17-5 defeat yesterday, Nebraska (14-15, 2-5 Big Ten) is back on the diamond this morning, trying to salvage a series split with the Michigan State Spartans (8-19, 2-5 Big Ten). Nebraska sends Matt Waldron to the mound to face off against a Spartan lineup who scored a season high 17 runs yesterday. Sparty sends Mason Erla to the mound.
Erla has been a good pitcher this season, working to a 4-1 record with a 2.61 earned run average. The redshirt freshman out of Cass City, Michigan has appeared in seven games and allows less than a hit per inning, allowing opponents to bat only .
