Nebraska baseball was humming over the weekend and now looks to carry it over into a pair of midweek in-state battles.

The Huskers (12-15, 2-7 Big Ten) had lost three of four to USC and Kansas State, was still seeking its first series win of a three-game set, and it was unlikely that a weekend series with No. 5-ranked Oregon State would be a recipe for a rebound.

But, hey, that's why they play the games on the field and not on paper, right?

Nebraska poured it on the Beavers in Games 1 and 3, sandwiching a 16-5 loss over seven innings in Game 2 with a 7-3 win on Friday and a 16-7 victory in eight innings on Sunday.

That marked the Huskers' first series win of the season – excluding their two-game midweek sweeps of both Wichita State and Pepperdine.

Now, they will welcome Creighton (16-7, 0-0 Big East) to town for a home bout at Haymarket Park on Tuesday* and will travel up I-80 for a duel with the Omaha Mavericks (8-17, 3-6 Summit League) on Wednesday.

Here is a look at the two midweek contests as Nebraska hopes to build a win streak heading into a Big Ten series with Rutgers this weekend – and looks to stop the bleeding of having lost five of its last six to Creighton, which featured an 0-3 mark in 2024.
