Both games will be carried live on the Pinnacle Sports Network (check local stations for broadcast availability) with Jim Rose and Gary Sharp calling all the action. In addition, live video streams of both contests will be available on the Internet at HuskersNside.com, as the University of Nebraska Athletic Department and Omaha-based New Media Networks continue their unsurpassed Internet coverage of Nebraska baseball in 2003, as every remaining regular-season game - both home and away - will be either available on television or streamed live on the Internet.

The Huskers comes into the week with momentum after taking three games at Oklahoma over the weekend, extending their current winning streak to eight games. The Huskers, 19-6 overall and winners of 17 of their last 21 games, moved up to a season-best 11th in this week
