The Husker baseball team hopes to strike the first blow in this year’s in-state rivalry games as they host Creighton tonight at Hawks Field. Nebraska is fresh off a walk-off win on Sunday that gave them a Big Ten conference series win over Iowa. The Huskers are now 22-12 overall and 5-4 in Big Ten play. After winning the Missouri Valley Conference last season, Creighton has struggled mightily this year. The Blue Jays have lost eight of their last eleven games and are just 14-15 overall and 2-7 in conference play. Nebraska took two out of three games from Creighton last season, including the lone meeting at Hawks Field. Tonight, the Jays will start their ace on the mound, junior left-hander Ty Blach, while the Huskers will counter with sophomore righty Jon Keller. First pitch in Lincoln tonight is set for 6:35.
