Nebraska baseball stopped the bleeding this weekend – for the time being, anyway – and will get its second chance at some midweek revenge.

The Huskers (25-12, 8-4 Big Ten) are coming off a series victory over Maryland after sandwiching wins of 6-3 and 16-4 (seven-inning run-rule game) in Games 1 and 3 around an 11-2 loss in Game 2 at Haymarket Park.

Nebraska gets to stay home for its midweek battle tonight against Kansas (21-15, 9-9 Big 12). The matchup will serve as the Huskers' shot at redeeming their 13-11 road loss to the Jayhawks two weeks ago on Tuesday, April 9. Nebraska failed in its first Tuesday night redemption opportunity after having lost to Creighton on April 2 and again on April 16.

Below is a preview of what's on tap in tonight's game.
