Nebraska baseball drops Tuesday showdown against Kansas 9-4

For the second time, Kansas walked away with the win, dropping Nebraska to 25-13 on the season.

The Huskers hosted Kansas on Tuesday night in their second showdown against the Jayhawks this season. Kansas walked away with the win for the second time, dropping Nebraska to 25-13 on the season.

The Huskers finished the game with eight hits but left 12 batters on base to result in just four runs, including three in the ninth. Cayden Brumbaugh led Nebraska in RBIs, delivering two of a double in the fourth. In the second, Tyler Stone served up an RBI with a solo home run. Joshua Overbeek also brought in an RBI with a single in the eighth.

Legislation that grants immediate availability to multi-time transfers approved on Monday

Effective immediately, players who transfer will be immediately eligible at their new schools regardless of whether they have transferred before.

In a Monday vote, the NCAA Division I Board approved a motion that grants immediate eligibility for players who transfer for a second time.

The Division I Council already approved the suggestion last week, meaning Monday’s vote was the last step in the ratification process.

The new eligibility rules went into effect immediately, so if the Blue Devils pursue any players who have already transferred this offseason, head coach Jon Scheyer doesn’t need to worry about legislation snags. After commitments from former Purdue guard Mason Gillis and former Syracuse forward Maliq Brown, the Blue Devils coach still has three scholarship spots left to fill.

The new rule also applies to the seven former Duke players who left the program this offseason. For example, if Mark Mitchell decides he wants to leave Missouri after a season, he’ll be free to do so.

Huskers swept by Michigan in 11-3 defeat on Sunday

Nebraska falls to 25-19 on the season and 8-6 in Big Ten play.

Nebraska softball concluded its three-game series against Michigan. The Huskers fell to the Wolverines in the first two outings, and the trend continued following their 11-3 six-inning loss on Sunday.

This is the first Big Ten series of the season. Nebraska suffered a sweep, and it came in a struggling fashion. Michigan erupted in the third and fourth innings, scoring nine runs, before closing out with two runs in the sixth.

Kaylin Kinney suffered the loss in the pitching circle, allowing five runs in 3.0 innings. Caitlynn Neal pitched in the fourth inning and allowed four runs. Emmerson Cope pitched the final 1.1 innings and allowed two runs on only one hit.

Offensively, the Huskers finished with six hits and two RBIs in the game. Peyton Cody and Bella Bacon produced Nebraska’s lone RBIs, with Cody hitting one in the fourth inning and Bacon producing hers in the sixth.

Nebraska falls to 25-19 on the season and 8-6 in Big Ten play. The Huskers will return home Tuesday to face off against Iowa in a doubleheader. Game one is set for 4 p.m., and game two is set for 6:30 p.m., and both games can be viewed on Big Ten Network.
