Following 13 straight games on the road to open the 2015 season, the Nebraska baseball team (7-6, 0-0 Big Ten) is set to play its first home game of the season on Tuesdayafternoon when it hosts the first game of a two-game series with the Northern Colorado Bears (2-6, 0-0 WAC) at Hawks Field, with first pitch scheduled for 1:35 p.m.

The two-game series with the Bears will be the first of 16 straight home games for the Huskers, as NU also hosts Florida Gulf Coast (3), Indiana State (2), Michigan (3), Cal State Fullerton (2), Texas (3) and Creighton (1) during the month of March.

The Huskers and Bears have met 45 times since 1986, with the Huskers holding a 39-6 advantage in the series. All but five of the games have taken place in Lincoln, with the Husker holding a 35-5 record at home. One of the losses happened last season, as the Bears took the second game of the series, 9-2, after the Huskers won the opener, 10-2.

A pair of Husker freshmen are scheduled to make their first career starts this week. Right-hander Garett King is scheduled to start the home opener on Tuesday. The Anaheim Hills, Calif., native has made six relief appearances for the Huskers in 2015, posting a 1.93 ERA over 4.2 innings of work.

Overland Park, Kan., native Zack Engelken is scheduled to start on Wednesday and will be looking for the second win over his young career. A 6-4 righty, Engelken has one relief appearance on the season. He went 2.2 innings and earned the win against BYU on Feb. 21, giving up no runs on one hit, one walk and two strikeouts.
