No. 3 Huskers Head to Oklahoma StateFollowing a break for fi nal exams, the Nebraska

baseball team returns to the diamond this weekend for a three-game series at Oklahoma State. The series at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium commences Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. and continues on Sunday (2 p.m.) and Monday (6:30 p.m.).

All three games of the series will be carried on the Pinnacle Sports Network, a 20-station network that includes KFAB 1110 AM in Omaha, 1400 AM in Lincoln and KRVN 880 AM in Lexington, along with an Internet broadcast at Huskers.com. Saturday and Sunday’s games will also be carried on SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Ch. 147), as a total of 15 regular-season games will be carried on SIRIUS.

In addition, live video streaming of all three games will be available on HuskersNside, as nearly every regular-season game will be available on the site.

The Huskers have been off since completing a series sweep of Texas Tech on Sunday with back-to-back 14-4 run-rule wins over the Red Raiders. The victories upped the Huskers’ record to 36-6 and kept NU in the Big 12 lead with a 15-3 record, percentage points ahead of Texas’ 16-4 league mark.

With the sweep, NU’s third in six Big 12 series this season, the Huskers climbed to third in all four national polls on Monday and are one of three Big 12 teams (also Texas and Oklahoma) ranked in the top-10 nationally.

NU comes to Stillwater with wins in 18 of its last 19 contests and riding a six-game winning streak, including wins over the three winningest college baseball coaches in school history. NU went 4-0 last week, averaging over 10 runs per game, and securing its fi rst-ever home sweep over Texas Tech in the process. NU now begins a stretch where it plays seven of its next eight games on the road.

The challenge for the Huskers is keeping that momentum against a surging Oklahoma State team that is 31-13 and has won its last nine contests. OSU has won its last three Big 12 series to move into fourth place in the conference race with a 10-8 record. At home, the Cowboys have been nearly unbeatable, winning 23 of 25 games this season behind an offense that is tied for the Big 12 lead in hitting with a .327 average and has hit a Big 12-high 64 homers in 44 contests. OSU features two of the top hitters in the Big 12 in Deik Scram (.403) and Tyler Mach (.401), the only two players in the conference hitting over .400. The Huskers will counter with a pitching staff that leads the Big 12 with a 2.98 ERA and is holding opponents to a league-low .227 average.

Nebraska will go for its 13th straight Big 12 series win this weekend, including its eighth straight away from Hawks Field, as it looks for just its fourth series win in Stillwater since 1958.

Head Coach Mike AndersonNorthern Colorado, 1990176-62 (.739) - Fourth Season

• 2003 & 2005 Big 12 Coach of the Year

Mike Anderson is in his fourth year as Nebraska’s head baseball coach after

becoming the 23rd head coach in the program’s history on June 21, 2002.

At Nebraska, Anderson has guided the Husker program to two Big 12 titles (2003 and 2005), two NCAA Regionals and the school’s third College World Series appearance since 2001. Since joining the Nebraska staff in the fall of 1994, he has coached a total of 19 fi rst-team all-conference honorees, while 26 of his former players have signed pro contracts. Anderson has coached seven players who have reached the Major Leagues, including MLB All-Stars Darin Erstad and Ken Harvey, and eight All-Americans, including 2005 National Player of the Year Alex Gordon.

In 2005, the Huskers swept the Big 12 regular-season and tournament titles en route to a school-record 57 wins. The Huskers had three All-Americans, led by consensus national player of the year Alex Gordon, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2005 MLB Draft, along with pitchers Joba Chamberlain and Johnny Dorn. Gordon, a two-time Big 12 Player of the Year, led a contingent of 11 players who brought home All-Big 12 accolades in 2005.

In 2003, Anderson guided NU to a 47-18 record and a 20-7 Big 12 record, earning Big 12 Coach-of-the-Year accolades. In 2004, the Huskers fi nished 36-23, while Gordon was a fi rst-team All-American and named to Team USA, the fi rst Husker honored in nearly 20 years. In 2005, the Huskers went 19-8 in the Big 12, tying Baylor for the conference crown.

The Huskers led the Big 12 in hitting in each of Anderson’s fi nal four seasons as an assistant, including a .338 team average in 1999. The Huskers led the Big 12 in seven offensive categories in 2002, including batting average, hits and runs. In 2001, Anderson coached a Husker offense that ranked in the top 10 nationally in both team average and runs. As the outfi elders coach, Anderson has coached three All-Americans and seven all-conference selections, including Jeff Leise, who was a fi rst-team All-American in 2002.

Anderson’s commitment to his student-athletes also extends to the classroom. Over the past 11 years, the Huskers have placed 50 players on the fi rst-team all-conference squad. NU has had nine CoSIDA Academic All-Americans and 13 fi rst-team academic all-district selections in the past decade.

Before arriving in the fall of 1994, Anderson was the top assistant coach at the University of Northern Colorado. He joined the Bears’ staff after four years as a head coach with the Northern Colorado Lab School. From 1983 through 1986, Anderson was an outfi elder at UNC for College Hall of Fame Coach Tom Petroff. Anderson was an eighth-round pick by the California Angels, spending four seasons with the Angels organization. He earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Northern Colorado in 1990. Anderson graduated from Eaton High School where he was a fi rst-team all-state shortstop.

Media Weekly Planner (May 2-8)

Leading Off•-Nebraska’s .857 winning percentage is the best

in the country heading into this weekend’s action, as only fi ve schools in the country have an .800 winning percentage.

Best Division I Winning PercentageYear Season Record Winning Pct.Winning Pct.1. Nebraska 36-6 .857 2. North Carolina 39-8 .830 3. Old Dominion 35-8 .814 4. Rice 39-9 .813 5. Virginia 38-10 .792 as of May 1

•-Nebraska has gotten off to fast starts, outscoring its opponents 49-12 in the fi rst inning of games this season. In fact, NU has scored at least one run in the fi rst inning in 20 of its last 28 contests.

•-Nebraska’s consecutive shutouts of Texas and Wichita State last month marked the fi rst time ever that any school had posted consecutive shutouts against college baseball’s two winningest coaches (Texas’ Augie Garrido and Wichita State’s Gene Stephenson).

•-After the sweep of Texas Tech, NU is now as high as fourth in the latest simulated RPI (warrennolan.com and Boydsworld.com). NU is 23-4 against teams rated in the top 100 of the RPI. As a league, the Big 12 is third in the RPI, as six of the 10 teams are in the top 50 and all are within the top 100 nationally.

•-NU is in the midst of one of its best seasons in school history, as its 36-6 record is the second-best start after 42 games in school history, two games ahead of last season’s team that won a school-record 57 games. That fact is more impressive since NU has played one of the most diffi cult preconference schedules in school history.

•-Nebraska is well represented in the latest NCAA stats released April 25. The Huskers rank in the top-20 in fi ve team categories, including ERA (2.95, fi fth), slugging percentage (.509, ninth), fi elding percentage (.976, 11th), homers per game (1.29, 11th) and batting average (.325, 15th).

Individually, Luke Gorsett ranks among the national leaders in homers per game (18th) and slugging percentage (30th). Other Huskers ranked in the top-30 nationally include Brandon Buckman, who is 18th in homers per game, Johnny Dorn, who is 24th nationally in wins and Ryan Wehrle, who is 29th in doubles per game (.40)

•-Nebraska has committed one error or less in 33 of its fi rst 42 contests, including 13 games without an error.

•-One of NU’s keys to success is the ability to run while shutting down other team’s running games. NU is second in the Big 12 with 68 stolen bases, including 26-of-36 in Big 12 play, and has allowed a league-low 27 stolen bases.

Last Time OutSunday (NU 14, Texas Tech 4): Ryan Wehrle had

three hits and drove in a career-high six runs as No. 4 Nebraska completed a sweep of Texas Tech with a 14-4 victory on Sunday. Wehrle went 3-for-4 with a homer to highlight a 13-hit eruption, as the Huskers (36-6, 15-3 Big 12) scored in every inning but the second, as the game was called because of the 10-run rule after Brandon Buckman’s homer to lead off the eighth. In addition to Wehrle, Andy Gerch and Andrew Brown also matched season highs with three hits apiece and combined to score four runs. All of the offense was more than enough for right-hander Johnny Dorn, who allowed three earned runs over seven innings of work to improve to 8-2 on the season.

Scouting Oklahoma StateUnder third-year coach Frank Anderson (103-62 at

OSU), the Cowboys are playing their best baseball of the season and bring a nine-game win streak into this weekend’s series with the Huskers.

The strength of the OSU club is an offense that is hitting .327 and ranks in the top-10 nationally in homers and slugging percentage. Third baseman Tyler Mach has been one of the Big 12’s top performers, as he is making a strong bid for the league’s triple crown by hitting .401 with 16 homers and 60 RBIs. He is one of six every day starters above the .300 mark, while Deik Scram tops the league with a .403 average.

On the mound, left-hander Brae Wright leads a balanced OSU staff with a 6-2 record and is among the Big 12 leaders with three complete games. In all, 11 pitchers have at least one win, including fi ve each by Charles Benoit and Jordy Mercer.

Oklahoma State leads the all-time series, 107-68, but Nebraska posted its second sweep in three years in 2005, handing OSU consecutive shutouts for the fi rst time since 1976 in the fi nal two meetings. The Cowboys took 3-of-4 meetings in 2004, inlcluding a series win in Stillwater.

Two Former Huskers Set to GraduateFormer Husker baseball players Daniel Bruce

and Phil Shirek are among the 54 current or former student-athletes set to graduate from the University of Nebraska over the weekend.

A four-year starter in the outfi eld and an All-Big 12 selection, Bruce earned fi rst-team Academic All-America honors in 2005 and will graduate with a degree in English.

Shirek, a four-year starter on the mound who posted an 18-7 record during his Husker career, will graduate with a degree in biological sciences and hopes to attend dental school in the fall.

Of the eight seniors in the 2005 class, seven have received their degrees while Joe Simokaitis is currently in professional baseball with the Chicago Cubs organization.

Huskers Rank Among Nation’s BestNebraska has been among the nation’s top programs

over the past few years. The Huskers rank fi fth nationally in wins in that stretch, highlighted by three College World Series appearances (2001, 2002, 2005).

In Big 12 play, the Huskers have shown that same consistency, ranking fi rst or second in the Big 12 in fi ve of the last six seasons, including a Big 12-best three regular-season titles (2001, 2003, 2005). Here is a list of top-two fi nishes by league schools over the last six years.

Its All About Winning...SeriesNebraska’s 15-3 conference start is its best since

the 2001 season and matches the Huskers’ best-ever start in Big 12 play. The Huskers have won their fi rst six Big 12 series for the fi rst time in school history and now have won its last 12 Big 12 series dating back to the 2005 season. NU’s series win at No. 5 Texas two weeks ago marked the Huskers’ seventh straight road series win. Last season, the Huskers won every conference road series for the fi rst time since 1938.

The Buck Starts HereAfter hitting just three homers in his fi rst 197 at-bats

at Nebraska, senior fi rst baseman Brandon Buckman has enjoyed a power surge over the past two months.

He began the stretch with his fi rst career multi-homer game against Minnesota on March 5, capping his second career four-hit day with a towering blast into the upper deck in the Metrodome. Since then, Buckman, who was hitting .200 at the time, is hitting at a .397 clip with 11 homers and 43 RBIs over his last 31 contests. He also has six game-winning RBIs for NU in that stretch, including his ninth-inning homer to beat No. 22 Creighton in front of over 12,000 fans at Rosenblatt Stadium on April 4.

On the season, Buckman enters the weekend hitting .355 with 14 homers and a team-high 46 RBIs, ranking second in the Big 12 in homers, fourth in slugging percentage (.663), sixth in total bases (110), seventh in RBIs (46) and 18th in hitting.

Cool Hand LukeJunior college transfer Luke Gorsett has quickly

made a name for himself as one of the Big 12’s top newcomers and a fan favorite at Hawks Field this spring. The junior from Denver enters the weekend

hitting .374 (10th in the Big 12) and ranks in the top 10 in the Big 12 in homers (14, second), slugging percentage (.712, third) and total bases (116, fi rst). He is 18th nationally in homers per game and 30th in slugging according to this week’s NCAA rankings.

Gorsett has had a pair of double-digit hit streaks, including a 19-gamer dating back to March 26 that was snapped last week. He had 11 multi-hit games and fi ve game-winning RBIs during that 19-game streak, including his fi rst career multi-homer game at Kansas State on April 2. Earlier this month at Missouri, he picked up a pair of game-winning RBIs, including a 13th-inning double against Missouri on April 8. Gorsett began the season with a 12-game hit streak, including a binge of seven homers in a nine-game stretch.

In 2005, Gorsett was a fi rst-team NJCAA All-American at Garden City (Kan.) Community College, hitting a national-best 24 homers and driving in 71 runs.

The Huskers’ Dynamic DuoThe pairing of Buckman and Gorsett in the middle of

the Husker lineup has provided Nebraska with one of the nation’s most productive duos.

In fact, Nebraska is one of only three schools in the nation to have two players with at least 14 or more homers. In addition, it is only the fourth time since 1990 - and the fi rst time since 2000 - that NU has featured two players with as many as 14 homers.

Hawks Field at Haymarket ParkThe 2002 season marked the debut of the

Huskers’ new home – Hawks Field at Haymarket Park. The fi eld is named in memory of Myrna Hawks, as the Hawks family was one of the major benefactors in the Haymarket Park project.

In March of 2000, Howard and Myrna Hawks guaranteed the unfunded portion of UNL’s $10.6 million commitment to the baseball/softball complex, which enabled the University to move forward in a joint venture with the City of Lincoln and NEBCO Inc., the owners of the Lincoln Saltdogs in the Northern League. The University retained the right to name the fi eld and on Feb. 23, 2002, the University of Nebraska Board of Regents approved the name of Hawks Field. It was formally dedicated in pregame ceremonies against Kansas on April 28, 2002. The ballpark includes 4,500 chair-back seats, 16 suites, a Diamond View Lounge and a Sub-Air system that allows the fi eld to grow grass nearly year-round. The park was one of only three fi elds in the country that uses this state-of-the-art heating system (Invesco Field at Mile High and Safeco Field are the others). Other highlights of the complex include a 1,400-square feet clubhouse for the Husker baseball program, a video board/scoreboard in right center fi eld, the Buck Beltzer Playgound for kids down the right fi eld line and numerous restrooms and concession stands.

Hawks Field, as well as the adjacent Bowlin Stadium – the 2,500-seat softball stadium which opened in the fall of 2001 – are both located inside Haymarket Park, a 32-acre complex that includes both stadiums as well as the plaza area and 2,500 parking stalls.

What a Difference a Year Makes Ryan Wehrle has emerged as one of the catalysts

at the top of the Husker lineup and is making a bid to become the fi rst Husker shortstop to earn fi rst-team all-conference honors since 1985.

On the season, Wehrle is eighth in the Big 12 with a .380 average while chipping in fi ve homers and 40 RBIs. He is tied for second in the Big 12 with 16 doubles and among NU’s team leaders in both runs scored (38, fi rst) and stolen bases (11, second).

He was a catalyst to NU’s perfect 4-0 week last week, hitting .471 with a homer and 11 RBIs. He added four doubles and fi nished with an .882 slugging percentage. Wehrle capped the weekend sweep of Texas Tech with a 3-for-4 effort with six RBIs in NU’s 14-4 win on April 30.

Last month, he was named Big 12 Player of the Week after hitting .591 over a fi ve-game stretch, including his fi rst career four-hit game against Northern Colorado on March 29.

Catch a Rising StarNebraska knew that it had one of the best defensive

catchers in the league with Jeff Christy, but the senior has emerged as a spark for the Husker offense in 2006.

After hitting .236 last year, including .163 in Big 12 play, Christy has rebounded from an early-season slump to hit .297 with six homers and 21 RBIs.

Over his last 25 games, Christy is hitting a blistering .351 with 12 multi-hit games in that stretch. In Big 12 games, Christy now ranks among the league leaders with a .347 average, one of four Huskers among the league’s top 20 in hitting this spring.

“No Name Offense” Develops IdentityHitting coach Andy Sawyers faced an unenviable task

this spring, replacing the bulk of an offensive lineup that produced a school-record 57 wins a year ago.

The group included consensus national player of the year Alex Gordon, two-time All-Big 12 fi rst baseman Curtis Ledbetter and four-year starters Daniel Bruce and Joe Simokaitis. In fact, NU returned just 13 homers from last year with no player hitting more than four before projected third baseman Ryan Bohanan went down with a season-ending injury in December.

NU has developed an strong offensive identity, ranking among the Big 12 leaders in batting average (.325, third), homers (54, third) and stolen bases (72, second) against one of the toughest schedules in the country. NU’s .325 average is on pace to be its best average since 2001.

The Husker lineup typically includes six freshmen or sophomores, while catcher Jeff Christy and second baseman Jake Opitz are the only players who are starting the same position as in 2005. NU has had three hitters (Ryan Wehrle, Brandon Buckman and Nick Jaros) earn Big 12 Hitter-of-the-Week awards, the fi rst time NU has had three different players win

the weekly conference award in the 10-year existence of the Big 12.

Nick at NightJunior college transfer Nick Jaros has been a

welcome addition to the Husker lineup since missing three games with a hand bruise. Since his return, he is hitting .481 (13-for-28) with two homers, seven RBIs and 11 runs scored in his last seven contests.

Jaros, who is 13th in the Big 12 in hitting with a .366 average, collected his fi rst career four-hit game against UNK on April 19 before hitting .455 with four runs scored in the series win at No. 5 Texas en route to earning Big 12 Player of the Week honors for the fi rst time in his career. In addition to his offensive performances, Jaros also preserved NU’s 7-5 win over the Longhorns on April 22 with an acrobatic sprawling catch that started a seventh-inning double play.

Last weekend, Jaros continued his hot hitting, going 3-for-7 effort with two walks and three runs scored in Saturday’s sweep of the Red Raiders, upping his average to .403 in Big 12 games only. He drove in Brett Jensen with the go-ahead run in NU’s 4-3 victory in the opener.

Gerch Provides Emotional LiftThe Huskers welcomed the return of sophomore

Andy Gerch to the lineup last weekend. Gerch, who had missed the previous 11 games because of shoulder injury and the death of his father earlier in the month, sparked NU’s rally against Texas Tech by coaxing a pinch-hit walk. Gerch, who was hitless in his fi rst 12 conference at-bats, then proceeded to go 6-for-8 with two doubles, a triple and an RBI in the next two games, raising his average to .293 on the season.

Husker Defense Excels Under Head Coach Mike Anderson, the Huskers have

been one of the nation’s top defensive clubs over the last three years. NU ranked in the top-10 nationally in fi elding percentage in both 2004 and 2005 and is 11th in this week’s NCAA ranking. Despite having to replace three infi eld starters this spring, NU is fi elding at a record pace, as its .976 fi elding percentage would top the school mark of .975 set in both 2004 and 2005. In conference play, the Huskers are even better, ranking second in the Big 12 with a .980 fi elding percentage,

Edlefsen Enjoys Record-BreakingNight vs. Iowa

Sophomore Steve Edlefsen needed just 13 games to accomplish a pair of feats that two-time All-American Alex Gordon could not do during his illustrious career.

On April 8 against Iowa, Edlefsen not only tied Nebraska’s single-game record with six hits, but became the second Husker to hit for the cycle in 2006. He singled in the fi rst, belted his fi rst career homer in the third, doubled in the eighth and completed the cycle with a stand-up triple in the 11th.

Edlefsen, who had just six hits in his fi rst 16 career games, doubled that total against the Hawkeyes, raising his average from .162 to .267 by going 6-for-8 and scoring fi ve times. He became the sixth player in school history to record six hits in a game, a feat most recently accomplished by John Cole in 1999.

Gordon, who played in 193 games at NU and whose

Buckman & Wehrle Go Back-2-BackWith consecutive weekly Big 12 hitting honors for

Brandon Buckman and Ryan Wehrle, it marks only the third time in the league’s 10-year existence that Husker hitters won the award in consecutive weeks. The only other times the feat has been accomplished were by fi rst-team All-Americans Alex Gordon (March 22-29, 2005) and Ken Harvey (April 12-19, 1999).

Buckman led the No. 3 Huskers to a series win over Kansas, hitting .615 (8-for-13) with a homer and four RBIs in three games. He had three multi-hit games on the weekend, including a 4-for-5 effort in the series opener on March 25.

Wehrle hit .591 (13-for-22) with six runs, four stolen bases, a homer and four RBIs in fi ve contests. He posted fi ve straight multi-hit games during the week, including his fi rst career four-hit day against Northern Colorado on March 29.

Elementary, Watson, ElementaryIt does not take a detective to fi gure out that Tony

Watson has emerged into one of the Big 12’s top starters in 2005. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound left-hander has been exceptional during the season, as he is 7-0 with a 2.84 ERA in a team-best 69.2 innings of work.

Watson has pitched at least fi ve innings in 10 of his 11 starts, holding opponents to one run or less six times. He ranks in the top 10 of the league in ERA (third), opposing batting average (.232, fi fth) and strikeouts (55, eighth), posting a 3-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He has won his last 12 decisions dating back to March of 2005, and is an impressive 13-1 in his Husker career.

Against Texas A&M on April 14, Watson tossed a complete-game fi ve-hitter in a 4-3 victory, the third straight outing where he set a career high in innings pitched. On March 26, Watson fanned a career high 10 hitters in a 4-1 victory.

Chamberlain Reaches Double FiguresWith a 5-3 record and a 3.42 ERA, Joba Chamberlain

has been solid in the No. 1 spot for the Huskers. The All-American has held seven of his nine opponents to three runs or less, including seven innings of shutout

Johnny Be GoodThe third member of the Huskers’ weekend rotation,

sophomore Johnny Dorn has continued his winning ways in 2006. After losing his fi rst start after missing all of the fall, the right-hander has earned wins in eight of his last nine starts and has been chosen as the Big 12’s Pitcher of the Week on two occasions. He earned his most recent honor on April 18, after tossing a complete-game shutout against Texas A&M. In that outing, he didn’t allow a runner to reach third and struck out seven Aggies.

He followed that performance with seven shutout innings in a 6-0 win at No. 5 Texas on April 25, fanning fi ve and scattering fi ve hits while extending his streak of shutout innings to 19.1 dating back to April 9.

In Big 12 games, Dorn is 10-1 in his two-year Husker career, including 7-0 in games which decide a conference series. Overall, he is 20-4 as a Husker, moving into a tie for seventh on NU’s career wins list.

Jensen Shines in Closing TimeSenior closer Brett Jensen has been entrenched as

one of the Big 12’s headline relievers for the past two years. The 6-foot-7 senior is 5-0 with eight saves and a 2.20 ERA. He is third in the Big 12 in saves, a total which is 34th nationally. The right-hander is holding opponents to a .156 average and has a 27-to-6 strikeout-to-walk ratio. With 26 career saves, Jensen already holds NU’s career saves mark and is fourth in school history with 72 career appearances.

Jensen showed his hitting abilities in the series opener against Texas Tech on April 29. In the 11th inning, Jensen was forced to hit for the fi rst time since high school. He calmly slapped a single to center and then scored moments later on Nick Jaros’ RBI double to center.

Two Huskers Named to Watch ListA pair of Huskers were honored on May 1, as

pitchers Brett Jensen and Johnny Dorn were selected to the initial Dick Howser Award Watch List.

Jensen is one of the nation’s premier closers, going 5-0 with eight saves and a 2.20 ERA in 19 appearances. Jensen is third in the Big 12 in saves and is holding opponents to a .156 batting average over 32.2 innings.

Dorn, a third-time All-American as a freshman, has been one of the Big 12’s best starters in 2006, posting an 8-2 record and 3.14 ERA in 10 starts. The right-hander is second in the Big 12 in wins, sixth in opponent batting average (.242) and ninth in ERA.

The 2006 winner will be announced at the College World Series in Omaha on Friday, June 16, at 10 a.m. (CDT). Both Dorn and Jensen will look to follow in the footsteps of 2005 winner Alex Gordon.

The Set-UpFreshmen relievers Erik Bird and Zach Herr have

been instrumental in NU’s strong performances this year, setting the table for All-American closer Brett Jensen. The duo has allowed just 3 of 33 inherited runners to score this season.

Bird comes into the Oklahoma State series not allowing an earned run in 17 appearances, spanning 14.2 innings of work. He notched his fi rst career save against Creighton on April 18, fanning two over 1.1 innings of perfect relief.

Herr has been spectacular in recent weeks, allowing only one earned run in his last nine appearances dating back to April 7. He made two appearances in the series win at No. 5 Texas, tossing 2.2 innings of no-hit relief. On the season, Herr has a 2.30 ERA in 14 outings.

Huskers Go Extra for WinsNebraska has shown a knack for winning in extra

innings this season. The Huskers are 5-0 in extra-inning games this season. NU is an impressive 11-4 in extra inning games in Mike Anderson’s four seasons at Nebraska.

NU Enjoys Record-Breaking CrowdsNebraska’s series against Texas A&M brought

record-breaking crowds to Hawks Field. NU recorded three of the top 13 crowds in school history, including a school-record crowd of 8,787 on April 14. The three-day total of 24,490 shattered the previous three-game regular-season weekend mark of 22,595 set against Texas in 2005.

Double the PleasureNU pitchers Tony Watson, Luke Wertz and Charlie

Shirek were dominant against South Dakota State on March 17, holding the Jackrabbits scoreless in a doubleheader sweep on March 17. It marked the 18th time in school history - and the fi rst time since April 15, 1997 - that Husker pitching had posted shutouts in both ends of a doubleheader.

Huskers Steal Big 12 Base MarkThe series opener against South Dakota State

on March 17 was a record-breaking day for Husker baserunners. As a team, the Huskers stole eight bases, including a Big 12 record six in the third inning against the Jackrabbits. The six swipes in the inning broke the previous conference mark of three, set two other times in Big 12 history (Baylor vs. Houston in 1998; Missouri vs. Southeast Missouri State in 2001).

Oh, What a Streaky Week it WasNebraska was involved in ending a couple of streaks

within a seven-day span earlier this season. Here is a quick recap of the events.

March 26: Kansas snaps a pair of Husker streaks in a 7-6 victory. The loss ended a 13-game win streak and NU’s stretch of 21 straight home wins dating back to May of 2005.

March 28: Northern Colorado becomes the fi rst non-Big 12 team to take a game from the Huskers in Lincoln since 2004 with a 5-2 victory, ending a 33-game home win streak against non-conference foes.

April 1: After seeing two of its streaks end, Nebraska turns the tables to take a 5-4 victory over Kansas State. The NU win snapped a 21-game home win streak for the Wildcats dating back to May of 2005, the second-longest home win streak in the nation at the time.

Huskers End 11-Year Search for CycleIt took junior college transfer Luke Gorsett just eight

games to accomplish a feat that hadn’t happened at Nebraska since the Big 12 formed in 1996 - to hit for the cycle. Gorsett went 4-for-5 against Notre Dame on March 3, as he singled (1st), homered (3rd), doubled (4th) and tripled (8th). Gorsett became the fi rst Husker to accomplish the feat since Mel Motley on May 10,


1995, against Nebraska-Kearney (a feat later matched by Steve Edlefsen at Iowa on April 11).

Stern Shines in World Baseball ClassicFormer NU outfi elder Adam Stern helped the

Canadian National Team to a 2-1 record at the World Baseball Classic. Stern, who played at NU from 1999 to 2001 and was a member of the Huskers’ fi rst CWS squad, hit .667 (6-for-9) with a homer and fi ve RBIs in three games. Against Team USA, Stern single-handedly led the Canadians to an 8-6 win, going 3-for-4 with an inside the park homer and four RBIs. Stern led the tournament in three offensive categories, batting average, slugging (1.333) and on-base percentage (.727). He also helped Team Canada to a fourth-place fi nish at the 2004 Olympics in Athens. Stern opened the season on the Boston Red Sox roster.

Three Named Preseason All-AmericansA trio of Husker baseball players have been honored

during the preseason, as pitchers Joba Chamberlain, Johnny Dorn and Brett Jensen have been selected to various preseason All-America teams.

Chamberlain turned in an impressive fi rst season at NU, going 10-2 with a 2.81 ERA to earn fi rst-team All-Big 12 honors. Chamberlain struck out 130 in 118.2 innings in 2005, including a 13-strikeout effort against Miami. He also picked up the Huskers’ fi rst-ever CWS win with a victory over Arizona State in Omaha.

Jensen is one of the nation’s top closers after saving a school-record 16 games in 2005. He posted a 2-5 record and a 1.96 ERA in 33 games. He was 16-of-17 in save chances and ranked third nationally in saves in 2005.

Dorn enjoyed the fi nest freshman pitching season in school history, going 12-2 with a 2.16 ERA in 104 innings. The Grand Island, Neb., native led all freshmen nationally in wins and ranked among the Big 12 leaders in ERA and opponent batting average (.199), as he earned third-team All-America honors in 2005. He was also a second-team preseason pick by the NCBWA.

Three Huskers Earn Laurelsfrom Baseball America

A trio of Husker baseball players were honored in Baseball America’s preseason issue. Starting pitcher Joba Chamberlain and closer Brett Jensen were both chosen as fi rst-team preseason All-Big 12 picks, while senior catcher Jeff Christy was tabbed as the best defensive catcher in the Big 12 after throwing out 46 percent of baserunners and fi nishing with a .985 fi elding percentage in 2005.

Chamberlain Climbs Up Draft ListAlthough the 2006 Major League Baseball Draft

is several months away, Nebraska pitcher Joba Chamberlain received consideration as one of the nation’s top draft-eligible prospects. Chamberlain ranked 12th on Baseball America’s list and was one of four Big 12 players in the top 15, joining Missouri’s Max Scherzer (No. 3) and the Texas duo of Drew Stubbs (No. 2) and Kyle McCulloch (No. 11). Of the top 15 players on Baseball America’s list, Chamberlain and Long Beach State infi elder Evan Longoria were the only two who were not previously drafted.

Chamberlain is projected by Baseball America as a fi rst-round pick, as the Huskers will look to post consecutive fi rst-round picks for the fi rst time in school history. Alex Gordon was the No. 2 overall pick by Kansas City in 2005.

Husker Youth MovementWith a youthful roster that features 28 freshmen or

sophomores, Nebraska has reshaped its roster from a year ago. Of the 30 players who went to South Carolina, 21 were freshmen or sophomores and 15 were getting their fi rst taste of Division I baseball. Of Nebraska’s opening-day lineup against Charleston Southern, only one player - senior catcher Jeff Christy - was at the same position he started for the 2005 opener.
