Will Bolt had no comment on the Big Ten Tournament next week in Omaha. “Well, I don’t really want to talk about the conference tournament right now because we’re not there,” he said Wednesday morning. “We still have a weekend (series) to go win ... so I’m not going to...
Here’s the pitch. Nebraska’s pitchers had a good weekend against Michigan at Haymarket Park, with good starts from Tucker Timmerman, Ty Horn and Jackson Brockett. And the bullpen mostly did its job. The Huskers used only four relievers: Luke Broderick pitched in all...

Nebraska baseball didn’t start the weekend well, losing to Northwestern 9-7 at Haymarket Park Friday night. But the Huskers turned it around Saturday, sweeping a double-header 14-4 and 5-2. The first game ended after seven innings because of the 10-run rule. The...
