Will the real Nebraska baseball team please step up? Is it the team that took two-out-of-three against then-fifth-ranked Oregon State over the weekend? Or the team that dropped games to Creighton (9-5 Tuesday at Haymarket Park) and Omaha (11-9 at Tal Anderson Field in...

Oregon State scored three runs in the top of the seventh inning Sunday at Haymarket Park to take a 7-6 lead. In the bottom of the seventh, the first two Huskers struck out. Was it here we go again for Nebraska baseball? The Huskers had opened the series with 7-3...
