Lincoln – The Nebraska baseball team (29-13, 6-6 Big Ten) is set to host its final non-conference home game of the season on Tuesday night when it welcomes the Kansas State Wildcats (18-20, 5-10 Big 12) to Hawks Field, with first pitch scheduled for 6:35 p.m.

Tuesday will mark the second and final meeting between the two teams this season, and the Huskers will be going for the season sweep after posting a 5-4 victory in 10 innings on Tuesday, April 7 at Tointon Stadium in Manhattan, Kan.

The Huskers and Wildcats will meet for the 278th time on Tuesday night, with the Huskers holding a 167-110 advantage in the series.

Nebraska is scheduled to start freshman right hander Garett King, who will make his seventh start of the season. On the year King is 3-0 with a 2.72 ERA over 39.2 innings of work. King’s six starts this season are the most by a Husker freshman since 2012, when Kyle Kubat started eight games.

Two weeks ago against Kansas State, King started for Nebraska and gave up three runs on seven hits and one walk over 5.2 innings. He didn’t factor into the decision.

The Wildcats have not yet announced a starter for Tuesday night.

Recapping the Last Meeting: NU 5 – KSU 4 (10 innings) (4/7/15)
Tanner Lubach went 5-for-5 on and drove in the eventual game-winning run with his fifth hit of the night in the 10th inning, as the No. 23 Nebraska baseball team posted a 5-4 win over the Kansas State Wildcats in 10 innings. Lubach notched five of NU’s 12 hits and drove in a pair of runs, as the Huskers won the 277th all-time meeting between the two teams.

Josh Roeder came in for the 10th and picked up his 10th save of the season with a pair of strikeouts.

Extra innings was needed after the Huskers squandered away a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the sixth when the Wildcats scored four runs to even the game. The two teams then went scoreless over the next three innings before Lubach untied the game in the 10th.
