    Scouting KansasUnder coach Ritch Price, Kansas is 20-13-1 on the season

    following Tuesday’s win over Missouri State. The Jayhawks, who were picked to finish second in the league’s preseason poll, enjoyed the league’s best non-conference series win, taking 2-of-3 from defending national champion LSU in Baton Rouge last month. In league play, KU is 3-5-1, but has played at Baylor and at Texas sandwiched around a three-game series with Texas A&M. The Jayhawks were swept at Texas, but held UT to just six runs in the first two game of the series.

    KU, which returned six starters from a team that won 39 games and reached an NCAA Regional last spring, is led by outfielder Brian Heere, who is hitting .380 with 30 runs scored. KU has four starters hitting over .300, including infielder Robby Price, who is hitting at a .366 clip with 22 walks and a team-high 38 runs scored. The Jayhawks received a recent boost with the return of preseason Big 12 Player of the Year Tony Thompson. He became the first Big 12 player to win the league’s triple crown in 2009, hitting .389 with 21 homers and 82 RBIs. He has started KU’s last 15 contests, hitting .231 with two homers and 14 RBIs.

    On the mound, KU is led by junior right-hander T.J. Walz, who went 8-3 last year and is 5-2 with a 5.10 ERA and a team-high 50 strikeouts in his first eight starts. Senior right-hander Cameron Selik (4-3, 5.07 ERA) has pitched well for KU, but the Jayhawks lost their closer, Brett Bochy to elbow surgery. He was 2-0 with five saves and a 0.78 ERA in 12 contests.

    Series History: Nebraska leads 140-97-1 in a series that dates back to 1892. It is the Huskers’ oldest rivalry against a conference opponent. Kansas took 2-of-3 from the Huskers, marking the first time since 1998 that Nebraska had lost the season series to the Huskers. Nebraska has won the season series in Lincoln in each of the last five meetings, including 2-of-3 in 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008.

    14-0 victory over Wichita State. Tyler Niederklein, Luke Bublitz, Chris Williams and Sean Yost shackled the Shocker attack, combining for eight strikeouts, as Nebraska (17-16) picked up its second shutout of the year. WSU (21-11) had just one hit through the first 8.1 innings, a wind-aided single by Nate Goro that dropped in front of pitcher’s mound in the second inning.

    The Huskers took control early, as Nebraska rung up six runs in the second off Shocker starter TJ McGreevy. With two outs and a runner on second, Bryan Peters’ RBI single started a string of five straight base hits, including a two-run triple to right center by Belfonte and a two-run homer by Adam Bailey into the teeth of a 30 mile per hour wind. Belfonte went 2-for-4 with four RBIs while Bailey had two hits, including his Big 12 leading 14th homer of the season. Kyle Bubak also drove in three runs, as Nebraska’s 14 runs marked its highest total against the Shockers since 1985.

    Leading Off•-NU assistant coach Dave Bingham served as head coach

    at Kansas for seven seasons (1988-95), leading the Jayhawks to 249 wins and the school’s only CWS appearance in 1993.

    •-Over 30 former Huskers will be honored on the field prior to Friday’s game with Kansas, as the alumni are back for the events in conjuction with the football spring game weekend.

    •-Adam Bailey’s 14 homers in 2010 is the most by a Husker since 2006, when Luke Gorsett (15) and Brandon Buckman (14) both reached double figures in homers.

    •-Nebraska’s shutout of Wichita State marked the third consecutive time that the Shockers had been shutout in Lincoln dating back to 2004. NU has outscored WSU 28-0 in that span.

    • Nebraska’s two triples against WSU marked its first two-triple game since March 24, 2009 against Northern Colorado.

    •-One year after Kansas’ Tony Thompson became the Big 12’s first triple crown winner, Adam Bailey is making a strong push to repeat the feat in 2010. Bailey enters the weekend hitting .419 with 13 homers and 43 RBIs, ranking in the top two in all three categories. At this point last year, Bailey was hitting .322 with nine homers and 35 RBIs.

    •-After not hitting 50 homers in each of the past two seasons, Nebraska has regained its power surge in 2010. The Huskers are second in the Big 12 with 40 homers (Oklahoma leads with 46) and feature three of the Big 12’s top 10 home run hitters in Adam Bailey (14, first), Cody Asche (6, ninth) and Chad Christensen (6, ninth). Nebraska is on pace to hit 65 homers in the regular season (54 games), which would be its highest total since belting 70 in 2006.

    •-Cody Asche’s two grand slams this year mark the first time since 2003 that any Husker has had more than one grand slam in a season. In fact, before hitting three grand slams over the past two weeks, the Huskers had not had multiple grand slams as a team since belting three during the 2004 season.

    Head Coach Mike AndersonEighth Season - Northern Colorado, 1990 Career and NU Record: 296-160-2 (.648)

    • Two-Time Big 12 Coach of the Year (2003-05)• 2005 National Coach-of-the-Year Finalist• Five NCAA Regionals (2003-05-06-07-08)• Two Big 12 Regular-Season Championships (2003-05)• 2005 College World Series Appearance

    Mike Anderson is in his eighth year as Nebraska’s head baseball coach after becoming the 23rd head coach in program history on June 21, 2002. At Nebraska, he has guided the Husker program to two Big 12 regular-season titles (2003 and 2005), five NCAA Regionals and an appearance in the 2005 College World Series. That season, the Huskers defeated Arizona State for the first CWS victory in program history.

    Since joining the Nebraska coaching staff in the fall of 1994, he has coached a total of 25 first-team all-conference honorees, while 48 of his former players have signed pro contracts. Anderson has coached 10 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.

    Anderson’s commitment to his student-athletes also extends to the classroom. Over the past 17 years, the Huskers have placed 70 players on the first-team all-conference squad, including eight selections in 2009. NU has had 10 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans and 20 first-team academic all-district selections since 1997.

    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 outfielder 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.

    •-NU has 119 come-from-behind wins under Mike Anderson since 2003. The Huskers already have five come-from-behind wins this season, including overcoming a 10-run deficit against North Dakota on March 30 and a three-run deficit against Northern Colorado on March 23.

    •-The Huskers are 70-8 dating back to 2008 when they out-hit an opponent and have won nearly 90 percent of their games since 2003 when out-hitting an opponent. This season, NU is 14-2 when out-hitting opponents. The Huskers are 16-6 with reaching double figures in hits, but winless in 10 games with nine hits or less.

    •-One area of focus in the offseason was adding strength, and a quick look at the rosters over the last two seasons show a dramatic improvement. Under strength coaches Mike Arthur and Brandon Rigoni, the 18 returnees from last year have gained a total of 203 pounds, an average of 11.2 pounds per player. Of the 18 players, 11 are at least 10 pounds heavier than their playing weight during the 2009 campaign. As a team, the Huskers gained a total of 328 pounds during the team’s off-season strength program in the fall.

    •-The Huskers have traveled six of eight weekends heading into this weekend’s series with Kansas. NU has totaled over 11,000 miles this season.

    Bailey Swings a Hot StickAfter leading the Huskers in homers, RBIs and slugging

    percentage in 2009, Adam Bailey has put together a strong senior season. The Scottsdale, Ariz., product is hitting .421 with 14 homers and 45 RBIs entering this weekend’s series with Kansas. The senior ranks seventh nationally in homers and eighth in total bases in the latest NCAA rankings released on April 13.

    Bailey, who was drafted in the 38th round by the New York Yankees last season, leads the Big 12 in four categories, homers, RBIs, hits (59) and totals bases (112) while ranking second in RBIs, batting average, runs (39) and slugging percentage (.800). He has been on a monster tear in the past month, hitting .450 (45-for-100) with 12 homers and 30 RBIs since celebrating his 22nd birthday with a three-hit

    day on March 6. He has 16 multi-hit and 15 multi-RBI efforts, including a stretch of nine straight multi-RBI games.

    Bailey torched No. 20 Kansas State, hitting .364 with three homers and six RBIs in the weekend series, including his second career multi-homer game on April 9, as he drove in four runs in NU’s 5-3 win. His performance against ranked teams should not be a surprise, as he is hitting .365 with seven homers and 18 RBIs in 13 games against ranked teams in 2010.

    He was named Big 12 Player of the Week on March 23, after hitting .562 (9-for-16) with two homers and eight RBIs in four games last week. Bailey went 7-for-11 with two homers, two doubles and six RBIs in the three-game series at No. 2 Texas last week. Against Northern Colorado on March 24, he had two hits in NU’s 10-run third inning, including his first career grand slam.

    DJ Keeps Things Spinning at Top of the LineupDJ Belfonte gives Nebraska a solid threat at the top of the

    lineup. The senior is hitting .389 with five homers and 30 RBIs in the leadoff spot. He ranks in the top 10 in the Big 12 in six categories, including: hits (fourth. 49); triples (second, three); total bases (fourth, 77); on-base percentage (fifth, .488); batting average (seventh) and stolen bases (ninth, 10).

    Belfonte, who was voted the best defensive outfielder by the league coaches in Baseball America’s preseason issue, is one of two Huskers (also Adam Bailey) to start all 33 games in 2010. Belfonte is bidding to become the first Husker since former Major Leaguer Ken Ramos to lead NU in stolen bases for three straight years.

    While he is known for his speed and defense, Belfonte showed his power earlier this season, belting two homers against South Dakota State on March 16, the first two-homer game of his career. His five homers this year already eclipses his career total prior to this season. He matched his career best with four RBIs against Wichita State on Tuesday and hit .364 (4-for-11) with an on-base percentage of .533 against Kansas State last weekend.

    Kiser is Second to NoneAfter seeing limited time behind eventual MLB draftee Jeff

    Tezak as a freshman last year, second baseman Kale Kiser has been a pleasant surprise in 2010. Kiser comes into the week hitting .368 with 36 runs scored, ranking third in the Big 12 in on-base percentage (.512), fifth in runs scored and 13th in batting average.

    After Nebraska started the year with a 3-7 mark, Kiser was bumped to second in the order and has played a key role in helping NU to a 13-7 record since that start. He has reached safely in 26 of his 27 appearances, with the only exception when he came off the bench at Fresno State on Feb. 20. Kiser has also shown his toughness, playing through a split lip at Fresno State on Feb. 22 that required 16 stitches to sew up, but returned to the diamond in time for the next practice.

    Asche Has Been Burning UpOne of the overlooked hitters in the Nebraska lineup is

    sophomore third baseman Cody Asche. The O’Fallon, Mo., native has been consistent for NU all season, hitting .310 with six homers and 33 RBIs, ranking ninth in the Big 12 in homers and 10th in RBIs.

    He got off to a slow start, going hitless in his first 10 at-bats, but has been on a tear since then, hitting .343 since Feb. 21. He had a career-long 12-game hit streak and hit .500 (6-for-12) with five RBIs at No. 12 Texas. Asche had a monster offensive week for the Big Red from March 30-April 5, belting three homers and driving in 13 runs in five games. He belted his first career grand slam in Nebraska’s 11-10 win over North Dakota on March 30 and followed up four days later with another grand slam at Oklahoma State on April 3, matching his career high with five RBIs in NU’s 9-2 win. Asche saw his 10-game hit streak snapped against Wichita State on Tuesday.

    Infield Youth MovementNebraska has relied on a pair of freshmen middle infielders

    recently, as Bryan Peters and Chad Christensen have become the Huskers’ primary double play duo.

    Peters, who was slowed by an orbital bone fracture suffered before practice began, has taken over the starting second baseman job and is hitting .282 with 16 runs scored in 27 appearances. He has also been hit by 12 pitches to rank second on the team and fifth in the Big 12 in that category. After a slow start, Peters has hit well of late, hitting .333 with 11 runs scored and four stolen bases over his last 15 contests.

    Christensen, who moved into the lineup on March 28 following Kyle Bubak’s back injury, has been on a tear, hitting .465 with four homers and 11 RBIs over his last 11 contests. He enjoyed a 10-game hit streak from March 28 until April 11, recording eight multi-hit games in that strech. Christensen moved to the No. 4 spot in NU’s lineup at K-State on April 11, and responded with his second three-hit day of the year.

    Casey of All TradesJunior right-hander Casey Hauptman has filled nearly every

    role on the Husker staff in 2010. While he is only 1-3, he leads Nebraska in strikeouts (40) and is second in innings pitched (46.1). After beginning the season in long relief, he moved into the starter’s role for three weekends before taking over the closer’s spot following Mike Nesseth’s season-ending injury.

    Out of the bullpen, Hauptman has a 3.62 ERA in nine outings, fanning 23 over 27.1 innings. He is 3-for-3 in save opportunities, pitching the final 1.2 innings at No. 20 Kansas State on April 9. In fact, all three of his saves have been at least 1.2 innings of work. In the wake of Mike Nesseth’s injury, Hauptman is now NU’s most experienced pitcher, making 43 appearances and striking out 97 over 127.2 career innings.

    Lemke Sparkles In Debut CampaignFreshman right-hander Tom Lemke has emerged as one

    of the Big 12’s top pitching rookies this season. The 6-foot-8 right-hander is 4-3 with a 4.76 ERA in eight starts. He has allowed two runs or less in five of his eight outings and picked up wins over three NCAA Tournament teams from a year ago (Fresno State, Elon, Oklahoma).

    He was named Big 12 co-pitcher of the week on March 29, following his three-hit shutout of No. 12 Oklahoma. Lemke fanned a career-high eight hitters en route to holding the Sooners to their lowest hit total of the year. It also marked the first time OU had been shut out in the regular season since 2007. Lemke, a 10th round pick of the Texas Rangers in last June’s MLB Draft, showed his poise early on, becoming just the fourth Husker freshman to start during the opening weekend of the season. He also became the first Husker freshman in that time to earn the victory, tossing five shutout innings at Fresno State.

    Recruiting Class Ranked 13th NationallyNebraska’s class of newcomers was recognized nationally,

    as Collegiate Baseball rated the class No. 13 nationally in its rankings. The rating is the highest ever for Nebraska in the publication’s 27-year history of ranking recruiting classes Nebraska’s recruiting class features four players who had been drafted previously before coming to Nebraska, including pitchers Ryan Hughes (16th round in 2008), Tom Lemke (10th round in 2009), Kurt Giller (21st round in 2009) and Ryan Hander (38th round in 2009). Lemke was one of just 11 high school seniors selected in the top 10 rounds who did not sign over the summer.

    Eight Draftees on 2010 RosterNebraska’s 2010 roster boasts a total of eight Huskers who

    have been previously selected in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Five of the players were picked in last year’s draft, including Mike Nesseth (15th) and Adam Bailey (38th) who both elected to return for this season.

    Hawks Field at Haymarket ParkThe 2002 season marked the debut of the Huskers’ new

    home – Hawks Field at Haymarket Park. The field 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 field 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 and a Diamond View Lounge. Other highlights of the complex include a 1,400-square feet clubhouse for the Husker baseball program, a video board/scoreboard in right center field, the Buck Beltzer Playground for kids down the right field line and numerous restrooms and concession stands. In 2010, the Husker Home Run Terrace was added, providing an additional 200 seats in right field.

    The baseball clubhouse was completely renovated in January of 2010, with a new entryway, remodeled player lockers, new locker chairs, electronic reclining theater seating, a team dining area, two 25-inch touch-screen monitors, a new video messaging system and a gaming area.

    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.

    Like Mother, Like SonFreshman Josh Scheffert continues a family tradition at

    Nebraska, as his mother played softball for the Huskers for two seasons (1979-80). Scheffert was off to a solid start, hitting .317 with three homers and 19 RBIs in his first 20 games before breaking a bone in his left hand on a pitch on March 28. The injury was originally expected to be season ending, but he missed just 10 games before making his return in a pinch-hitting role against Wichita State on Tuesday night.

    The Lincoln Southeast product - the same school as former Natonal Player of the Year Alex Gordon - was second on the team in both homers and RBIs and led NU in walks at the time of the injury. He has six multi-RBI efforts, including a career-high four RBIs against South Dakota State on March 16. He enjoyed an outstanding debut at Fresno State on Feb. 21, by going 3-4 with three RBIs.

    Ticket UpdateBecause of the weather-related postponements this

    season, two previous game tickets can be used for general admission tickets to any remaining regular-season game at Hawks Field. Those tickets are the following:

    • South Dakota State (Game 1 on season-ticket sheets)• Houston Baptist (Game 3)

    Huskers From Around the NationThe 2010 Huskers come from 14 states across the nation.

    Nebraska natives comprise a quarter of the 36-man opening-day roster with nine spots, while the Huskers also have seven Texans on the 2010 roster.State Players Nebraska 9Texas 7California, Colorado 3Arizona, Minnesota, Kansas, Missouri 2Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, South Dakota, Utah, Washington 1

    Three Huskers Honored by Baseball AmericaA trio of Husker players were recognized by Baseball

    America in its college preview issue. Outfielder Adam Bailey was the only Husker player on the publication’s preseason All-Big 12 team, as he hit .325 with 12 homers and 50 RBIs a year ago.

    DJ Belfonte was recognized as the best defensive outfielder in the Big 12 in Baseball America’s preseason issue. Belfonte, who has played both center and right field in his Husker career, has a .982 career fielding percentage and has thrown out seven runners from the outfield during his career.

    Tom Lemke was the fifth-rated freshman in the Big 12 by Baseball America after a dominant high school career. He went 25-9 with a 2.01 ERA in his career at Northwest Christian High School, striking out 333 over 193.2 career innings. He is also No. 32 nationally among all freshman by the publication.

    Success in the ClassroomNU enjoyed a strong performance in the classroom by

    posting a team GPA of 3.112 during the fall semester. The team GPA was the highest ever while tracking the program’s GPA over the last 20 years and the second straight fall above a 3.0 GPA. A total of 23 Huskers were named to the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll for the fall semester.

    Huskers Boast Experienced Coaching StaffOne of the Huskers’ strengths is an experienced coaching

    staff. All three full-time coaches have served as head coaches at the Division I level and combine for more than 1,200 career wins. Anderson, who is in his eighth season, has 297 wins entering this weekend’s series with Kansas. Dave Bingham won 837 games in stints between Kansas and Emporia State, while Eric Newman won 95 wins in a three-year stint at Dallas Baptist.

    Battling the Injury BugThe Huskers have been hit by the injury bug recently, losing

    a quartet of contributors for significant time. Offensively, both Josh Scheffert (left hand) and Kyle Bubak (back) missed 10 games apiece because of injuries and both returned to action against Wichita State on April 13.

    On the mound, NU also lost a pair of major contributors in Mike Nesseth and Kurt Giller. Nesseth, a 15th round draft pick last spring, was 1-2 with a 6.43 ERA, but was pitching well at the time of his injury, posting a 1.80 ERA in his previous seven outings. Giller, a 21st round draft pick, had made eight appearances, fanning 11 over 13.2 innings and earned a save against Fresno State.
