Any representative of a radio station or network that has not purchased such rights shall not air live game action or description of any game while it is in progress, nor shall such representatives air tape-recorded or live commentary of Nebraska coaches or players for one hour before and 1/2 hour after a game. Only stations that have purchased broadcast rights may install telephones in the press box, or use telephones in the press box for reporting on games.

The University of Nebraska Athletic Department takes great pride in abiding by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Big Ten Conference rules and guidelines that govern Division I competition. For the benefit of the many alumni, fans and booster club members who are so active in supporting and assisting the Huskers throughout the year, we would like to remind everyone of a few definitions and rules that apply to all athletic representatives and boosters.

NCAA PrinciplesInstitutional Control

It is the responsibility of the University of Nebraska to control its intercollegiate athletic program in compliance with the rules and regulations of the NCAA.

ResponsibilityThe University of Nebraska’s responsibility for the conduct of its program includes

responsibility for the actions of its staff members and for the actions of any other individual, booster or organization engaged in activities promoting the athletic interests of the institution.

ComplianceThe University of Nebraska must monitor its program to assure compliance and to identify

and report to the NCAA instances in which compliance has not been achieved. An institution found to have violated NCAA rules is subject to disciplinary and corrective actions as determined by the NCAA.

Question and Answers for Fans, Boosters, Alumni andRepresentatives of Athletic InterestsDefinitions

Q: What is a booster?A: Someone who belongs to a University of Nebraska athletic booster club; promotes or

makes financial donations to the athletic department or a specific Husker team; assists in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes; employs, gives benefits to, or provides services to a student-athlete, a prospective student-athlete or the relative/friends of either.

REPRESENTATIVE OF ATHLETIC INTERESTS (I.E., BOOSTERS), NCAA BYLAW 13

Q: What is a Prospective Student-Athlete?A: A prospective student-athlete is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade

or above, including students in prep schools and junior colleges as well as students who have officially withdrawn from a four-year institution and plan to transfer to another institution. In addition, a student who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospective student-athlete if the institution or a Nebraska booster provides the individual or the individual’s relatives or friends with any financial assistance or benefits that the institution does not provide to prospective students in general. A good rule of thumb is to treat ALL STUDENTS as prospects.

Q: What is a Student-Athlete?A: A student-athlete is a student whose enrollment was solicited by a member of the Nebraska

athletic staff or other representative of athletic interests with a view toward the student’s ultimate participation in the intercollegiate athletic program.

Q: What is a contact?A: Contact is ANY face-to-face encounter between a prospect, or the prospect’s parent or

legal guardian, and a Nebraska staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs.

Q: What is recruiting?A: Recruiting is any solicitation of a prospect or a prospect’s family member (or guardian)

by an institutional staff member or by athletic representative of the institution, for the purpose of securing the prospect’s enrollment and ultimate participation in Nebraska’s intercollegiate athletic program.

GuidelinesQ: What is a Booster?A: Someone who belongs to a University of Nebraska athletic booster club; promotes or

makes financial donations to the athletic department or a specific Husker team; assists in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes; employs, gives benefits to, or provides services to a student-athlete, a prospective student-athlete or the relative/friends of either.

REPRESENTATIVE OF ATHLETIC INTERESTS (I.E., BOOSTERS), NCAA BYLAW 13

Q: What constitutes impermissible contact by a Booster?A: Phone calls to prospects (9th to 12th grade) and their relatives placed for recruiting

purposes (questions about the athletic program at UNL must be directed to the coach); writing, paging, text messages or instant messages to a prospect to encourage UNL attendance; contact with a prospect at a high school or club contest; contact with a prospect or his/her coach, principal, or counselor to evaluate the prospect; visiting the prospect’s educational institution to pick up videotape or transcripts for evaluation purposes; contacting a prospect to congratulate him/her for signing a National Letter of Intent to attend UNL; giving anything of value to a prospect to induce him/her to attend UNL; contact of any kind while the prospect is on the UNL campus for an official or unofficial visit.

RECRUITING CONTACTS, NCAA BYLAW 13

Q: What are the rules of employment for a student-athlete? A: A student-athlete may be employed during the academic year or summer vacation

period; receive compensation equal to the going rate for similar services in the locale; receive compensation only for work performed; accept employment from more than one employer and earn unlimited income; receive benefits provided to all other employees; teach sport-related individual skill instruction or fee-for-lesson sessions. A student-athlete may not conduct personal sport camps or promote, market, advertise or endorse a commercial business or product.

Only benefits that are authorized by NCAA legislation shall be provided to and accepted by a student-athlete. It is not permissible for a student-athlete to receive a benefit that is the result of a “special” arrangement by an institutional employee, booster, employer or fan.

EMPLOYMENT, NCAA BYLAW 12

Q: What are non-permissible benefits?A: Free or reduced-fee housing/rent including the use of vacation or seasonal homes; free

or reduced-fee meals; loans or cash advances in pay or salary; tuition costs or school supply expenses; gifts or presents of any type regardless of the occasion or purpose; use of telephone for long distance or use of telephone cards and cell phones; free use of any motor vehicle, boat or recreational vehicle; free use of services (i.e., automobile repair, hair care, laundry, copying, faxing, etc.); free or reduced-fee memberships at golf courses, health clubs, etc. (This list is not exhaustive. Only benefits that are authorized by NCAA legislation shall be provided to and accepted by a student-athlete. It is not permissible for a student-athlete to receive a benefit that is the result of a “special” arrangement by an institutional employee, booster, employer or fan.)

BENEFITS AND PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT, NCAA BYLAW 16

Q: What type of promotional activities may the student-athlete be permitted to participate?A: Charitable, educational or non-profit promotions and events with requested approval from

the Athletic Compliance Office prior to the event.

Q: What types of promotional activities are not permissible?A: Any fundraising activity that supports a high school organization or group that assists

prospective-aged students; use of his/her name or picture; or appear to promote or market a commercial business or product.

PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES, NCAA BYLAW 12

Since its opening in 2002, Hawks Field at Haymarket Park has been one of college baseball’s best ballparks. Set on 32 acres one-half mile west of campus near downtown, the complex combines private and public entities, giving the University of Nebraska and the City of Lincoln a one-of-a-kind facility for the Huskers and the Lincoln Saltdogs of the American Association of Independent League Professional Baseball.

On July 30, 1999, the University of Nebraska, the City of Lincoln and NEBCO Inc., announced plans to construct two new stadiums, an 8,500-seat ballpark for the Husker baseball program and the Saltdogs – marking professional baseball’s return to the Star City for the first time in 40 years – and a 2,500-seat softball stadium located next door.

Building a complex for the Huskers, as well as the Saltdogs, whose season runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day, required leadership and a forward-thinking vision from all three entities. The $29.53 million cost was primarily divided between the city, NEBCO and the University with additional sources contributing for the rest of the project.

In March of 2000, Howard and Myrna Hawks guaranteed UNL’s commitment to the baseball/softball project, enabling the University to move forward on the complex on schedule. An avid supporter of the Husker baseball program, Myrna Hawks never had the opportunity to see the finished product, as she passed away on Jan. 24, 2001. In her honor, the playing surface was named Hawks Field in February of 2002 and was formally dedicated on April 28, 2002, before a doubleheader

against Kansas.“She was a baseball fanatic,” Howard

Hawks said of his wife of 45 years. “She went to baseball games before we were married, but I know that after we were married, she never went to a game where she didn’t keep score.

“She felt you didn’t really know what had happened if you didn’t know how this guy hit last time, and how they pitched to him, so she kept track of all those things.”

The DLR Group was hired to be the principal designer of the ballparks, as well as the plaza between the two fields, and to create a design unique for Lincoln. Early on, one of the goals of the project was to enhance

the experience for the fans who attend games at the new park. According to the DLR Group, the intimate atmosphere at Haymarket Park was intentional.

“One of the primary concepts driving this whole facility was to create a ‘park within a park,’ which meant the fans would be able to view the action from anywhere in the park,” says Pat Phelan, principal project manager at the DLR Group in Omaha.

“There’s an open concourse, so when fans are waiting in line for concessions or restrooms, they can still see the field from there. There’s also a bermed seating area around the outside of the park, so you can literally walk around

Myrna and Howard Hawks were long-time supporters of the Husker baseball program and were instrumental in getting Haymarket Park built. The field is named after Myrna, who passed away on Jan. 24, 2001.

the perimeter of the diamond while viewing the action, but you’re still within the confines of the stadium.”

In the months leading up to the start of construction in April of 2000, former Nebraska Baseball Coach Dave Van Horn and Saltdogs President Charlie Meyer toured many of the top minor league facilities in the country, looking for ideas that could be implemented in the new ballpark.

The influences of parks such as the Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City, Victory Field in Indianapolis and Franklin Covey Field in Salt Lake City, are evident throughout the structure. The exterior is a red-brick facade, while the spacious concourse level is highlighted by exposed ironwork. The playing surface is nestled in a bowl, allowing berm seating along both lines and throughout the outfield and a raised batter’s eye consisting of pine trees in center field. The features make Haymarket Park a first-class facility. The ballpark’s setting also allowed the designers to use Memorial Stadium and downtown Lincoln to provide a picturesque backdrop in the outfield. There is also a pedestrian connector that allows fans to make the walk from downtown Lincoln to the center field entrance of Haymarket Park.

The park features many fan-friendly amenities, including 4,419 chair-back seats on two levels in the main seating bowl, 16 suites, a towering 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 2009, the facility added seating in right field, as the Husker Home Run Terrace bringing more fans closer to the action.

Hawks Field at Haymarket Park was selected as the best playing surface in each of its nine years of existence. In November of 2007, Hawks Field received another honor, as it won the Baseball Field of the Year Award in the College/University division by the Sports Turf Managers Association (STMA) for the second

time. The field earned its first honor in 2003 and is the only college park in the country to be a two-time winner.

In the fall of 2008, the field was completely resurfaced while the underground drainage system was improved, making the field more playable during the early spring months.

The ballpark is more than a playing field for the Huskers. It includes medical and laundry facilities, coaches’ offices and a 1,400-square foot locker room and adjacent clubhouse, giving the Husker program one of the best baseball setups in the country. The 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.

In the fall of 2011, construction was completed on the $4.75 million Alex Gordon Training Complex, an indoor practice facility to the north of Hawks Field. The 22,000-square foot building features a large practice area, along with restrooms and storage facilities. The space is lined with netting, allowing for the entire area to be used for live batting practice and game simulation.

Prior to the start of the 2012 season, a new 17 x 34-foot LED videoboard was installed that is nearly three times the size of the stadium’s original board.

The Huskers have enjoyed their new home, posting a 261-95-1 (.732) record at Hawks Field over the past 12 years, including a school-record 33-4 mark in 2005 and a 29-5-1 mark in 2008.

Fans have also turned out in record numbers, as Nebraska has ranked among the nation’s top 25 schools in average attendance since 2002. In 2006, Nebraska set a single-season attendance record by averaging 5,092 fans per game. NU also established a single-game record with a crowd of 8,757 against Texas A&M on April 14, 2006.

In addition to the other amenities, the ballpark features the Buck Beltzer Playground. Named in honor of a former Husker baseball captain and Grand Island businessman, the enclosed park includes a padded surface for safety.

Nebraska’s 1,400-square foot locker room is one of the largest in college baseball and features 36 wooden lockers, including three double-sized lockers for the Husker catchers. An extensive renovation was completed on the locker room in January of 2010.

Third-year Head Coach Darin Erstad returns a strong core from his 2013 squad that came up two wins shy of earning a share of the Big Ten regular-season title and was one win away from winning the Huskers’ first conference tournament title since 2005.

Nebraska returns five position starters from a year ago, including All-Big Ten performers Pat Kelly (2B), Blake Headley (3B) and Michael Pritchard (OF/DH), along with catcher Tanner Lubach, who made 46 starts in 2013, and junior outfielder Austin Darby, who has made 85 starts during his first two seasons in Lincoln.

But the biggest return from 2013 is not one player, it’s a trio, as the Huskers return their weekend rotation of senior Christian DeLeon, as well as juniors Kyle Kubat and Aaron Bummer. It is the most stable the Huskers’ rotation has been since 2005 to 2006, when Nebraska returned Joba Chamberlain and Johnny Dorn, while replacing Zach Kroenke with Tony Watson.

Nebraska will need to replace an eight-member senior class from a year ago that accounted for 147 wins and six all-conference honors during its time at Nebraska. The Huskers will try to help do that with one of the strongest recruiting classes in recent memory. The class was ranked 11th nationally by Baseball America, the highest ranking in school history.

Pitching Coach Ted Silva will have 19 pitchers to work with in 2014. The balanced staff includes 10 right-handed arms and nine southpaws, allowing the Huskers to create match-up problems for opposing hitters.

The group is headlined by the returning weekend rotation of Christian DeLeon, Kyle Kubat and Aaron Bummer, who combined to go 15-5 a year ago with a 2.66 ERA and five shutouts, including one no-hitter.

Overall, the Huskers return arms that account for over 65% of the team’s inning pitched last season, while closer Dylan Vogt is the only departed pitcher who had an ERA under 5.00 last season.

Speaking of Vogt, the Huskers will need to find a new closer as the Omaha native converted eight saves over 30 appearances a year ago. His 30 appearances were tied for

the seventh most in school history, and he was the first pitcher to make 30 trips to the mound since Brett Jensen made 33 in 2005.

Josh Roeder is expected to get the first shot at the closer role after converting six saves in 2013. The junior led the team with a 1.74 ERA last season, while notching 29 strikeouts in 31.0 innings of work.

Prior to Roeder entering the game, the Huskers may look to righty Luke Bublitz or lefty Zach Hirsch. Bublitz made a career-high 24 appearances in 2013 and was nearly untouchable at the Big Ten Tournament. The senior earned a pair of wins out of the bullpen, as he threw 6.0 innings of scoreless relief over four appearances, while giving up just three hits and one walk.

Hirsch was on his way to finding his niche in the Husker bullpen, but an injury to his non-throwing wrist at practice forced him to miss the final 31 games of the season. The 6-4 lefty lowered his ERA from 7.53 to 4.78 over his final five appearances and gave up just two earned runs over his final 12.0 innings of action.

The Huskers will also need to lean on senior Tyler King, as well as sophomores Jeff Chesnut and Colton Howell, while eight newcomers find their role in the staff.

Two newcomers who will be expected to contribute right away are junior Chance Sinclair and senior Bob Greco.

Sinclair joined the Huskers after spending two seasons at Neosho County Community College, where he was the Panthers’ 2012-13 Male Student Athlete of the Year. The 6-4 righty set multiple school records during his two-year stint, including career wins with 18.

Greco used three years of eligibility at Bellevue University where he was a two-time NAIA honorable-mention All-American. The Papillion native could be used in a variety of ways after throwing 92.2 innings in 2013 over 11 starts.

Six freshmen will battle for time on the mound in 2014, and with a coaching staff where playing time is earned and not handed out, each will have the opportunity to prove they should have the ball in their hand.

Experience Behind the PlateReturnersName B/T Yr. Ht. Wt.Taylor Fish R/R So. 5-10 190Tanner Lubach R/R Jr. 6-0 187

NewcomersBeau Fandel R/R Fr. 6-1 190

Unlike last season when Erstad didn’t have a catcher on the roster who had caught a game at Nebraska, the Huskers return two backstops with starting experience in Tanner Lubach and Taylor Fish, while adding freshman Beau Fandel.

After earning second-team NJCAA All-American honors as a freshman at Hutchinson Community College in 2012, Lubach became the Huskers’ primary catcher in 2013. The Lincoln native found his rhythm at the plate late in the year, as he hit .308 in the month of May, including a walk-off home run against Indiana at the Big Ten Tournament.

Fish is in his third year in the program and continues to improve offensively and defensively. The Kearney product made 11 starts over 16 games of action last season following a redshirt season in 2012.

Ranked as one of the top 10 players out of the state of Minnesota, Fandel will not be expected to step in an play right away in 2014. He will have the opportunity to learn how to catch at the collegiate level from third-year volunteer assistant Jeff Christy, who played in the Minnesota Twins organization after catching a school-record 64 games on Nebraska’s 2005 College World Series team.

While the Huskers return a pair of all-conference performers at second and third base in Pat Kelly and Blake Headley, respectively, Erstad and Associate Head Coach Will Bolt need to find new gloves at both first base and shortstop.

Following the departure of senior and two-time MLB draftee Kash Kalkowski, Husker fans will see a new face at first base for the third straight season after Kalkowski took over for Richard Stock following the 2012 season when Stock signed a MLB contract with the Cleveland Indians.

Austin Christensen is expected to get the first shot at first base after missing the last two seasons with injury. Christensen had Tommy John surgery during the Fall of 2012 and is now ready to get on the field for the Huskers. Along with a solid stick at the plate, Christensen provides a big 6-5 frame at first base.

At shortstop, Nebraska will look to sophomore returnee Jake Placzek and Santa Barbara City College transfer Steven Reveles to take over for the departed Bryan Peters and sophomore Wes Edrington, who had knee surgery during the Fall and is expected to miss the 2014 campaign.

Placzek made 15 starts last season as a true freshman, while Reveles was named a California Community College Athletic Association All-American after hitting .305 and leading the Western State Conference with 30 stolen bases.

Kelly, an All-America candidate, has a firm hold at second base where he was a first-team All-Big Ten pick last season. The junior from Red Wing, Minn., led the team in 2013 in hits with 85, while ranking third in batting average (.331), RBIs (33) and doubles (12). He also produced a team-high 175 assists on the year, tying him for sixth all-time in the Husker single-season record book.

Following an injury to senior Josh Scheffert just 20 games into the 2013 season, Headley took over at third base and excelled. He was selected third-team All-Big Ten after hitting .337 in 23 Big Ten games with four doubles and 14 RBIs, while committing

just three errors all season, the fewest for any third baseman in the league.

Along with Reveles, other newcomers include Michael Klein, Matt Leuty, Ben Miller and Bryce Only. Each will provide depth during the year and all have the ability to battle for playing time.

With just three returning outfielders from a year ago and three newcomers, there will be stiff competition for NU’s three outfield spots.

The Huskers’ will have Michael Pritchard’s bat in the lineup, but the senior from Omaha could be used in left field or as the squad’s designated hitter. He served as the DH for most of last season with Chad Christensen, now a member of the Minnesota Twins organization, roaming in left field. However, Pritchard did take over in left when Christensen moved to right following an injury to now departed all-conference center fielder Rich Sanguinetti.

Austin Darby is likely to get the start in either right or center field, as the junior started most of the 2013 season in right field before moving to center when Sanguinetti got hurt. Darby possesses all the tools in the outfield, combining speed, instincts and a strong arm.

Kildow is the other returner of the group and will battle for time in center field. During his two years in the program the senior has played in 39 games, but mostly as a pinch runner due to his plus speed.

Out of the newcomers, Christian Cox has the most experience following two years at Hutchinson Community College, where he played one season with NU catcher Tanner Lubach in 2011. A lefty, Cox possesses good speed and has a solid approach at the plate, evident by his .489 on-base percentage last year.

A pair of freshmen round out the group, including Minnesota native Ryan Boldt and Wahoo, Neb., product Quinn McGill.

Boldt will be expected to contribute the soonest after turning down a professional contract from the Boston Red Sox to instead play at Nebraska with his cousin, Pat Kelly. Boldt was also a member of Team USA’s 2012 Under-18 team that took gold at the XXV IBAF World Championships and was named MVP of the 2012 Perfect Game All-American Classic.

McGill brings a good eye at the plate and above average speed to the field, as he stole a state-high 28 bases last season. He hit .470 during his prep career and struck out just three times during his senior season.

Huskers Tested Early and Often in 2014The Huskers are set to play 56 games under third-year skipper Darin Erstad, including 27 games at Hawks Field. The Huskers will play 11 games against teams that qualified for the 2013 NCAA Tournament, including a pair of games with College World Series participant Oregon State. The Beavers enter the 2014 season ranked in the top-five nationally by most publications, including a No. 2 preseason ranking by Baseball America.

The Husker coaching staff scheduled a balanced non-conference slate with 15 games at home and 17 on the road, including seven neutral site games.

The Huskers will again play eight Big Ten series, playing four each at home and on the road. After completing a two-year cycle of conference games, Nebraska faces Michigan State and Penn State for the first time in the regular season, while dropping series with Indiana and Purdue. The Huskers have never faced the Spartans or Nittany Lions during regular-season conference play, but have battled both squads at the Big Ten Tournament.

After playing 19 of its first 24 games on the road last season, Nebraska starts the year with 10 straight games away from Lincoln, before returning to Hawks Field for 10 straight home games.

Opening day for Nebraska is set for Friday, Feb. 14, at the Spring Training home of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Tempe Diablo Stadium in Tempe, Ariz., when the Huskers meet the Pacific Tigers.

The Huskers return to Tempe Diablo the following day for a pair of games, as Nebraska takes on Oregon State at Noon followed by a contest with the Gonzaga Bulldogs at 4 p.m. The Huskers finish the weekend by playing their fourth game in three days on Sunday, Feb. 16, with a another game against Gonzaga at 1 p.m.

Nebraska returns to Arizona for the second weekend of the year, where they will visit Surprise Stadium in Surprise, Ariz., the Spring Training home of the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals. Fellow Big Ten programs Michigan State and Indiana will also be in Surprise with the Huskers, as the three Big Ten teams will play one game each against Pac-12 programs Oregon State, Washington and Utah.

The Huskers end their season-opening 10-game road swing with a trip to Charleston, S.C., for a three-game series with The Citadel. The Bulldogs and Huskers open the three-game set at 4 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 28, at Riley Park, before continuing the series with one game each on Saturday and Sunday.

The Huskers’ home opener is set for Tuesday, March 4, at 1:35 p.m. when the Kansas State Wildcats visit Hawks Field. The Wildcats, who enter the season ranked 22nd by both Baseball America and Perfect Game, won the Big 12 regular-season title for the first time in 80 years last season and were also one win away from making a trip to the College World Series, but fell on the road to Oregon State at the Corvallis Super Regional.

Following two days off after hosting the Wildcats, Nebraska welcomes the St. John’s Red Storm from the newly formed Big East Conference for a three-game series. The series opens at 1:35 p.m. on Friday, March 7. The teams then meet at 1:05 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.

With 20 non-conference games in the books, the Huskers open Big Ten play in Iowa City, Iowa, on Friday, March 21, at 3 p.m. with a three-game set against the Iowa Hawkeyes. It marks the second straight season that Huskers have traveled to Iowa City, with the Huskers taking 2-of-3 at Duane Banks Field a year ago.

Nebraska stays on the road for its next two games, traveling to the state of Kansas for one game each with Wichita State and Kansas State. The Huskers visit the Shockers on Tuesday, March 25, before heading north on HWY 77 for a game with the Wildcats the following night.

The Huskers conclude the month of March with a three-game home series with the UNLV Rebels. The Rebels will make their first-ever trip to Lincoln and the series opens on Friday, March 28, at 6:35 p.m.

Nebraska starts the month of April by paying a visit to former NU Head Coach Dave Van Horn with a mid-week trip to Fayetteville, Ark., for two games with the Arkansas Razorbacks, ranked 25th in Baseball America’s preseason poll. Game one is set for 6:35 p.m. on Tuesday, April 1, with the second game set for 1:35 p.m. the next afternoon.

Nebraska hosts it first Big Ten Conference series of the year on Friday, April 4, when the Ohio State Buckeyes visit Lincoln for the second straight season. In just two seasons as conference foes, the Huskers and Buckeyes have met nine times, including three times at the Big Ten Tournament.

Nebraska then heads back to the road with a trip to Ann Arbor, Mich., to face the Michigan Wolverines. The three game series opens on Friday, April 25, with first pitch scheduled for 5 p.m.

Nebraska heads to Omaha on consecutive nights, starting on Tuesday, April 29, with a second trip to TD Ameritrade Park to face the Bluejays. The Huskers will be in Omaha the following night as well, but will be at Werner Park to battle UNO at 6:30 p.m.

The month of May consists of only Big Ten action, as the Huskers end the 2014 regular season with nine straight conference games.

The Penn State Nittany Lions open the month of May on Friday, May 2, at 6:35 p.m. with the first of three games at Hawks Field. It is the first-ever series between the two teams.

Nebraska then makes its first Big Ten trip to East Lansing, Mich., the following weekend for three games with the Michigan State Spartans, starting at 2:05 p.m. on Saturday, May 10, at McLane Baseball Stadium. The series is set to run Saturday-Sunday-Monday.

The 2014 regular season comes to a close with a three-game series against the Illinois Fighting Illini. After opening Big Ten play with the Illini the past two seasons, the two teams will instead end the regular season starting on Thursday, May 15, at 6:35 p.m. The three-game set continues on Friday night at 6:35 p.m. and ends on Saturday at 1:05 p.m.

Nebraska will look to qualify for the Big Ten Tournament for the third straight season, which is being held at TD Ameritrade Park in 2014.

Darin Erstad was named the 23rd head coach of the Nebraska baseball program - and the fifth since 1947 - on June 2, 2011.

Erstad took over a team in 2012 that had failed to qualify for the postseason the previous three seasons and was making a move from the Big 12 to the Big Ten Conference. While

the squad fell short of qualifying for the NCAA Tournament in 2012, improvement could be seen across the board, and the Huskers played in a conference tournament for the first time since 2008. Nebraska returned to the Big Ten Tournament in 2013, marking the first time since 2007-08 that the Huskers had made consecutive postseason appearances.

Erstad continued to infuse his hard-nosed, blue-collar work ethic in 2013. One of the biggest improvements under Erstad has been the Huskers’ focus on defense. It was evident in 2013, as Nebraska set a school and Big Ten Conference record with .981 fielding percentage, which ranked second nationally.

The Huskers committed just 44 errors in 2013, marking their lowest total going back to 1985. From 2000 through 12, the Huskers had averaged 71.2 errors per season.

Erstad and the rest of the Nebraska coaching staff tested the Huskers with the 16th-toughest schedule in the country in 2013. The Huskers got off to a rough start at 0-7 and finished the year 29-30, but were just a one win away from the NCAA Tournament with an RPI of 31.

Nebraska nearly won its first conference title since 2005, as it finished in a tie for second during the regular season and came within one win of bringing the Big Ten Tournament title back to Lincoln.

After posting a 15-9 record during the conference season, Nebraska entered the 2013 Big Ten Tournament at Target Field in Minneapolis as the No. 3 seed, where the Huskers defeated Michigan, 11-2, in the first round.

Following a second-round loss to Ohio State, the Huskers fell to the losers bracket where they knocked out Minnesota. The following day, Nebraska eliminated the Buckeyes and immediately had to play the top-seeded Indiana Hoosiers. The Huskers kept their season going with a win over the Hoosiers, as Tanner Lubach launched a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 11th inning.

The two squads returned to Target Field the following day with the Big Ten Tournament title and an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament on the line. Indiana proved too much, as the Hoosiers returned the favor with a 4-3 walk-off win in the bottom of the ninth. The Hoosiers went on to play in the College World Series.

Individually, Chad Christensen developed from a shortstop to an all-conference outfielder. After playing shortstop during his first three seasons, and being a first-team all-conference pick in 2012, Christensen moved to the outfield in 2013, where he was one of three nominees for Big Ten Player of the Year.

Under Erstad, who earned three Gold Gloves during his Major League career, Christensen posted a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage in 124 chances and ranked in the top-10 nationally among outfielders with eight assists. Christensen saw his draft stock rise 10 rounds, as he was picked in the 25th round of the 2013 MLB Draft by the Minnesota Twins after being picked in the 35th round of the 2012 Draft by the Miami Marlins.

Along with Christensen, Pat Kelly also earned first-team honors at second base, while Michael Pritchard was a second-team pick. Kash Kalkowski, Rich Sanguinetti and Blake Headley all earned third-team All-Big Ten honors in 2013.

During Erstad’s first season in 2012, the Husker offense saw the biggest jump under the new direction of Erstad and Associate Head Coach Will Bolt. The Huskers led the Big Ten Conference in six categories, including home runs (47), RBIs (375), runs (413), total bases (916), on-base pct. (.384) and slugging pct. (.445).

The Huskers also made noise on the national scene, as they ranked in the top-20 nationally in seven categories, including top-10 rankings in both batting average and scoring. Darin Erstad begins his third season as Nebraska’s head coach in 2014.

After hitting .270 as a team in 2011, the Huskers hit .315 in 2012 to rank eighth in the country. The Huskers also ranked eighth nationally in scoring with 7.1 runs per game after scoring 5.4 runs a game in 2011.

With a more disciplined approach at the plate, NU had 106 fewer strikeouts than it had in 2011, while playing three more games in 2012. The Huskers also produced 150 more hits, drove in 107 more runs and hit 17 more home runs to lead the Big Ten with 47 home runs. No other team in the league hit more than 38 homers.

Three Huskers were named first-team All-Big Ten, including Christensen, Sanguinetti and Pritchard. Overall, eight Huskers earned All-Big Ten honors across the first, second and third teams.

Pritchard, a sophomore in 2012, continued his development at the plate and posted a 25-game hitting streak during the season - the third-longest streak in school history. For his efforts, he was named a third-team All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.

Four players from the 2012 team were picked in the 2012 MLB Draft, including 23rd-round picks Travis Huber (Minnesota Twins), Kale Kiser (Chicago White Sox) and Richard Stock (Cleveland Indians), who all signed contracts. Christensen was picked in the 35th round by the Miami Marlins, but chose to return to Nebraska for his senior season in 2013.

A two-time Major League All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner, Erstad spent the 2011 season as a volunteer assistant coach with the Husker program. In his role, he helped lead a pair of Huskers to All-Big 12 honors, including third baseman Cody Asche. Asche became NU’s first position player to earn All-America honors since 2006, as he hit .327 with 12 home runs and produced a school-record 27 doubles en route to second-team All-America honors in 2011.

One of the most decorated players in Nebraska baseball history, Erstad was a first-team All-American and finalist for the USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award in 1995, before embarking on a 14-year career in Major League Baseball.

Erstad wrapped up his professional career in the fall of 2009, after playing for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (1996-06), Chicago White Sox (2007) and Houston Astros (2008-09). During his career, he helped the Angels to a World Series title in 2002 and two other playoff appearances. Erstad appeared in 1,654 games, while finishing his career as a .282 hitter with 1,697 hits, 124 homers and 699 RBIs. He was at his best in the postseason, hitting .339 in 29 career playoff games, including a .352 clip during the Angels World Series run in 2002.

The No. 1 overall pick in the 1995 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, Erstad spent the majority of his career playing for the Angels, where he won three Gold Gloves (2000-02-04) and was selected for the American League All-Star team in 1998 and 2000. He is the only player in Major League history to win Gold Gloves as an infielder (2004) and outfielder (2000 and 2002) and the first player in Major League history to win Gold Gloves at three positions (LF, 2000; CF, 2002; 1B, 2004). Erstad was one of the greatest players in Angels’ franchise history, as he ranks in the top five on team charts in eight categories, including at bats (4th), runs (4th), hits (4th), total bases (4th), doubles (4th), RBIs (4th), stolen bases (4th) and games played (5th).

His best year came in 2000 when he led the Major Leagues with 240 hits and finished second in the American League with a .355 batting average with 121 runs scored, 39 doubles, six triples, 25 home runs, 100 RBIs, 64 walks and 28 stolen bases en route to winning a Silver Slugger Award. That season, he topped the Angels in seven categories, and set franchise records for average, runs scored and hits, with his records for average and hits still standing entering the 2013 season. His 240 hits are tied for 13th in Major League history entering the 2013 season and were the most since Hall of Famer Wade Boggs had 240 in 1985. In 2000, Erstad made his second All-Star Game appearance and won his first Gold Glove, committing just three errors in 362 total chances in left field for a .992 fielding percentage.

Erstad was also active in the community throughout his playing career and was the Angels’ recipient of the 2005 Roberto Clemente Award for his efforts in the Southern California community.

A two-sport star at Nebraska, Erstad was a first-team All-American and Big Eight Co-Player of the Year as a junior in 1995, batting .410 with 19 homers and 76 RBIs. He finished his Husker career holding school records for most hits (6), runs (6), and RBIs (6) in a game; most hits (103) and total bases (194) in a single season (1995) and most career hits (261). In addition to his exploits on the diamond, Erstad, a two-time academic all-conference selection, was also the starting punter for the Huskers’ 1994 national championship football team, helping NU to a 13-0 record.

A native of Jamestown, N.D., Erstad played American Legion Baseball and hit .495 with 18 homers, 86 RBIs and 21 doubles as a senior. He was the state tournament MVP in both 1991 and 1992 and a three-time all-state pick. Erstad was a 13th-round pick by the New York Mets

in the 1992 MLB Draft and earned first-team all-state accolades in four sports (football, hockey, track and baseball) in high school.

Darin, and his wife, Jessica, have one daughter, Jordan, and two sons, Zack and Adam.

Will Bolt #7Associate Head Coach • Third Year • Nebraska (2003)Former Husker standout Will Bolt was named Nebraska’s associate head coach on June 8, 2011. A four-year starter and team captain on Nebraska’s 2001 and 2002 College World Series teams, Bolt spent four seasons as the head coach at Texarkana College before returning to Nebraska. He oversees NU’s infield unit and helps direct the Husker offense.

During Bolt’s first two seasons, eight offensive players have earned all-conference honors, including two-time selections Chad Christensen, Michael Pritchard, Pat Kelly and Rich Sanguinetti. Three Husker hitters have also been drafted, including Christensen who saw his stock rise from a 35th-round pick in 2012 to a 25th-round pick in 2013 under Bolt’s guidance.

Under Bolt and Head Coach Darin Erstad’s watch in 2013, Nebraska’s defense turned in its best performance in school history. The Huskers ranked second in the country with a .981 fielding percentage, just one thousandth of a point behind Mercer’s nation-leading .982 fielding percentage. The mark set both a school and Big Ten Conference record.

Nebraska’s offense continued to grow under Bolt’s tutelage in 2013, as it ranked in the top three in the Big Ten Conference in eight offensive categories.

During league play in 2013, the Huskers led the conference in batting average (.335), on-base percentage (.401), runs (180), hits (307) and RBIs (159).

After producing a 25-game hitting streak in 2012, Pritchard followed with a 20-game hitting streak in 2013. It marked the first time in school history that a Husker has produced a pair of hitting streaks of 20-or-more games.

The Husker offense saw improvement across the board in 2012, as they led the Big Ten in several offensive categories and ranked in the top-20 nationally in seven categories, including top-10 rankings in both batting average and scoring.

After hitting .270 as a team in 2011, Bolt helped direct an offensive attack that hit .315 on the year to rank eighth in the country. The Huskers also ranked eighth nationally in scoring with 7.1 runs per game after scoring 5.4 runs a game in 2011.

The Huskers became a more disciplined team at the plate, as they had 106 fewer strikeouts than they had in 2011, while playing three more game in 2012. The Huskers also produced 150 more hits, drove in 107 more runs and hit 17 more home runs to lead the Big Ten with 47 home runs. No other team in the league hit more than 38 homers.

Under Bolt’s watch, Pritchard and Richard Stock each put together 20-or-more game hitting streaks during the season, the first time in school history that a pair of teammates posted hitting streaks of 20 or more games in the same year. Pritchard led the way with a 25-game hitting streak - the third-longest streak in school history. A first-team All-Big Ten selection, Pritchard was also a third-team All-America pick by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.

Stock, who signed with the Cleveland Indians after being picked in the 23rd round of the 2012 MLB Draft, tied for the Big Ten lead in doubles with 20 and led all players during Big Ten play with 39 hits.

Bolt also oversaw the development of freshman Pat Kelly, who was named a freshman All-American by four publications, including Perfect Game, Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. The freshman from Red Wing, Minn., hit .313 on the year, slugged eight home runs and drove in 37 runs in 41 starts.

A native of Conroe, Texas, Bolt led Texarkana College to a pair of Region XIV championships during his four-year head coaching stint with the Bulldogs. Bolt has been in the collegiate coaching ranks for nine years, spending the 2005 season as Nebraska’s volunteer assistant during the program’s school-record breaking 57-win campaign, while also serving two years on Texas A&M’s coaching staff. One of the top infielders in Husker history, he finished his playing career holding six school records and caught the final out of the 2001 Super Regional to send Nebraska to its first College World Series.

Bolt became the head coach at Texarkana College in 2007 and guided the Bulldogs to back-to-back Region XIV championships (2009 and 2010) during a stretch of four straight Regional Tournament appearances and four 30-plus win seasons. Bolt, who was 140-82 (.631) at Texarkana, helped over 20 players sign with Division I schools.

Bolt started his coaching career by serving as a graduate manager for the 2004 Huskers, and he was then named head coach for the Parkville Sluggers (M.I.N.K. League) over the summer. Upon being named a volunteer assistant at Nebraska in 2005, Bolt helped direct the Husker infielders and hitters, as NU had its best season in school history. Nebraska compiled a 57-15 record and swept the Big 12 regular-season and tournament championships en route to capturing Nebraska’s first CWS win. Nebraska finished the season with a then-school record .975 fielding percentage.

Bolt headed back to his home state in 2006 and spent two seasons as a volunteer assistant coach at Texas A&M. In 2007, he was on staff when the Aggies advanced to the Super Regionals, while producing a 49-18 overall record and claiming the program’s first Big 12 Tournament championship. In College Station, Bolt specialized in infield work and helped tutor All-Americans Brandon Hicks and Blake Stouffer, who were each drafted in the first five rounds of the MLB Draft.

A member of Dave Van Horn’s first recruiting class, Bolt was a four-year starter and team captain on Nebraska’s 2001 and 2002 College World Series teams. The infielder played an instrumental role in helping Nebraska to four NCAA Regionals, three Super Regionals and back-to-back College World Series appearances. Bolt was the Minneapolis Regional MVP as a sophomore, as he led the Huskers to their first regional title in school history. He finished his career holding six school records, including games played (251), games started (242), at-bats (922), hits (281), doubles (56) and assists (639).

In the classroom, Bolt was a two-time academic All-Big 12 honoree and graduated in 2003 with a degree in communication studies before earning his master’s degree in 2006.

Bolt and his wife, Lauren, were married in July of 2005. Lauren earned a degree from Nebraska in 2005. They have two sons, Jaxon and Austin.

Ted Silva was hired as Nebraska’s pitching coach on June 17, 2011, and also serves as the program’s recruiting coordinator. Silva joined the Huskers from the West Coast, where he had spent four seasons as a pitching coach at UC Irvine and Loyola Marymount.

A tireless recruiter, Silva has led the charge for infusing talent in the Husker program. Prior to the start of the 2014 season, Baseball America named the Huskers’ 2013 recruiting class No. 11 in the nation, the highest ranked class in program history.

Silva continued to rework Nebraska’s pitching staff during his second season in 2013. With returning starter Kyle Kubat missing the first 33 games of the year with shoulder soreness, the Huskers leaned on junior college transfer Christian DeLeon as their Friday-night starter.

Under Silva’s guidance, DeLeon produced a 7-4 record and a 3.21 ERA. The junior righty led the Huskers in innings pitched (92.2) and strikeouts (46).

Kubat made a dramatic return against No. 10 Arkansas on April 16, as the sophomore threw the first 5.0 innings of a combined no-hitter, with Tyler Niederklein and Dylan Vogt finishing off the historic day. It was the fourth combined no-hitter in school history and the first no-hitter since four Huskers no-hit Peru State on March 6, 1993. It was also the first no-hitter against a Division I program since April 5, 1981, when Anthony Kelley no-hit the Oklahoma Sooners in seven innings.

Silva took over a young pitching staff in 2012 that returned no seniors and needed to replace its closer, after Casey Hauptman was picked in the 26th round of the 2011 MLB Draft by the New York Mets.

Under Silva’s guidance in 2012, Kubat, a true freshman, emerged as one of the most consistent starters in NU’s rotation during the end of the season. Kubat, who won his final three starts during Big Ten play, was named a Freshman All-American by Collegiate Baseball, a third-team All-Big Ten performer and was selected to the Big Ten All-Freshman team.

Silva also continued the development of Travis Huber, who led the 2012 team in saves with seven. After previously being picked twice in the MLB Draft in the 47th (2010) and 39th (2011) rounds, Huber was selected in the 23rd round of the 2012 MLB Draft by the Minnesota Twins and signed with the organization.

Silva, a native of Redondo Beach, Calif., helped lead UC Irvine to national prominence from 2008 to 2010, when the Anteaters qualified for three straight NCAA Regionals and won the 2009 Big West Conference title. He moved on to Loyola Marymount under longtime friend and former Titan teammate Jason Gill for the 2011 season.

In Silva’s first season as pitching coach at UC Irvine, the Anteaters won the 2008 Lincoln Regional, including a 3-2 win over host Nebraska. While at UCI, Silva’s pitching staff produced a 3.89 ERA and helped the program to its first Big West Conference championship. The Anteaters qualified for the NCAA Tournament all three years and were eliminated in 2010 by eventual national runner-up UCLA.

Silva took an assistant coaching position at Loyola Marymount under Gill for the 2011 season. In his only season with the Lions, Silva’s pitchers posted a 3.25 ERA to rank 30th nationally, cutting the team’s ERA nearly in half from 2010 (7.21). A trio of LMU pitchers were selected in the 2011 MLB Draft, including a pair of top-15 round selections in Jason Wheeler (8th round) and Alex Gillingham (11th round).

Silva and Gill were on staff at their alma mater in 2005 and 2006, when Silva served as a volunteer assistant coach. The Titans won the Big West Conference championship both years and reached the College World Series in 2006 when CSF produced an NCAA-best 2.73 ERA. Silva helped coach All-Americans and future first-round selections Ricky Romero (2005) and Wes Roemer (2006) to Big West Pitcher-of-the-Year honors.

Silva spent the 2007 season at Fresno State and helped the Bulldogs to an NCAA Regional appearance. As a team, Fresno State finished with the second-best ERA in the WAC at 4.54, while three Bulldog hurlers ranked in the top 10 individually.

Prior to his coaching days, Silva was a standout pitcher at Cal State Fullerton from 1993 to 1995. Silva was 26-7 over his career with a 2.92 ERA and 26 saves, the fourth-most in school history. Silva, who earned 1995 first-team All-America honors, played a key role in the Titans’ run to the national title, including earning the win in the championship game against USC. The 1995 Big West Conference Pitcher of the Year, Silva finished the season as the national leader in victories with a single-season school-record 18 wins (18-1) to go along with six saves. He produced a 2.83 ERA with 142 strikeouts.

Silva was selected by the Texas Rangers in the 21st round of the 1995 MLB Draft, the same year Nebraska’s Darin Erstad was the No. 1 overall pick by the California Angels. Silva spent five seasons in the Rangers organization, spent one year pitching overseas in Taiwan and also played in the independent Atlantic League.

Ted and Tiffany reside in Lincoln with their five-year old son, Andrew.

Jeff Christy was named a volunteer assistant coach at Nebraska during the summer of 2011. Christy returned to Lincoln after spending five years playing in the professional ranks and one season as the volunteer assistant at Wichita State University.

In 2013, Christy developed three catchers who had never played a game at Nebraska. As a unit, the trio threw out 35 percent of would-be base stealers.

Sophomore Tanner Lubach started 46 of NU’s 59 games behind the plate in 2013, where he committed just two errors. He also ranked fifth on the team with 27 RBIs.

In his first year with the Huskers, Christy helped senior catcher Cory Burleson become one of the best defensive catchers in the Big Ten Conference. After throwing out 14-of-40 base runners in 2011, Burleson threw out 20 runners, while giving up just 18 steals in 2012.

Christy also assisted in the Huskers’ small ball attack. Nebraska laid down 47 sacrifice bunts on the year, but more importantly, the Huskers produced 39 bunt hits. During the 2011 season, Nebraska totaled just 16 bunt hits.

A native of Lincoln, Neb., Christy was selected in the sixth round of the 2006 MLB Draft by the Minnesota Twins, the highest selection for a Husker catcher since 1985. Also a 2002 MLB Draft pick out of Lincoln Southeast High School, Christy was a two-year starter for Nebraska and helped lead NU to the 2005 College World Series.

In 2011, Christy began his coaching career by assisting Wichita State Head Coach Gene Stephenson, as the Shockers went 39-26 and reached the championship game of the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament.

While at Nebraska, Christy caught a school-record 64 games as a junior in 2005, hitting .236 with 32 RBIs, while throwing out 45 percent of opposing runners, including 8-of-11 runners in the postseason. An honorable-mention All-Big 12 pick in 2006, Christy hit .284 with eight homers and 32 RBIs, while leading the Huskers to 42 wins and a No. 6 national seed.

Prior to his Husker career, Christy played at Barton County Community College and was a first-team All-Jayhawk League selection in 2004 and an honorable-mention pick in 2003.

After being drafted by the Twins in 2006, Christy reached Triple-A Rochester in 2008 and 2009. He spent the 2010 season with the Wichita Wingnuts of the American Association and was named an All-Star while hitting .289 with 40 runs, 82 hits, 12 doubles, one triple, one home run and 39 RBIs.

Christy earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Nebraska in 2007. He and his wife Michelle have one daughter, Quinn.

Curtis Ledbetter will start his sixth season as director of operations for the Nebraska baseball program in 2014.

Ledbetter, who joined the Husker staff in May of 2008, assists with coordinating on-campus recruiting, business administration

and is the director of the Nebraska Baseball Academy.

A former all-conference performer at NU, Ledbetter returned to the Husker program following a stint in professional baseball. An 18th-round draft pick of the Seattle Mariners in 2005, Ledbetter played professional baseball for three years, earning Frontier League all-star honors in 2007 – his final season in the professional ranks. In addition to his playing duties, he worked at the Nebraska Baseball Academy.

During his playing career, he was a three-year starter for the Huskers from 2003 to 2005, earning first-team All-Big 12 honors at two positions (designated hitter and first base), as he hit .320 with 34 homers and 166 RBIs in 180 career games. As a senior, he earned Big 12 Tournament MVP honors, guiding the Huskers to a sweep of the conference regular-season and tournament titles. Ledbetter earned NCAA Tournament All-Regional honors in 2003 and 2005, as Nebraska won two Big 12 regular-season titles and won the first College World Series game in school history during his senior year.

In the classroom, Ledbetter was a three-time academic All-Big 12 selection, a Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll member and graduated from Nebraska in 2005 with a degree in journalism. He completed his master’s degree in education administration from Nebraska in December of 2012.

A native of Lawrence, Kan., Ledbetter played one season at Garden City Community College, earning honorable-mention All-Jayhawk League accolades. He hit .404 with 13 home runs and threw out 50 percent of would-be base stealers as the team’s catcher.

He and his wife Monica were married in October of 2009. They welcomed a daughter, Laney, in January of 2013.

Shawn Eichorst was named the 14th Director of Athletics of the University of Nebraska by Chancellor Harvey Perlman on Oct. 4, 2012. Eichorst leads a tradition-rich athletic program of 24 varsity athletic teams, 600-plus student-athletes and more than 275 full-time employees. Eichorst succeeded legendary Nebraska football coach and Athletic Director Tom Osborne and officially assumed his duties on Jan. 3, 2013.

“I am honored to have the opportunity to join the University of Nebraska family,” Eichorst said. “Nebraska is an outstanding academic institution with one of the strongest athletic departments in all of college sports. Most importantly, everyone here is committed to keeping the welfare of our student-athletes at the heart of everything we do. I am humbled by the responsibility and opportunities that lie ahead and will work diligently to carry on the rich tradition of Husker excellence set forth by Coach Osborne and so many others.”

Perlman said it was Eichorst’s commitment to putting student-athletes first that made Eichorst stand out.

“When I asked him how I would be able to measure his success if he were here five years from now,” Perlman said, “his response was that if the coaches and student-athletes had been successful and nobody knows his name, it would be a success.”

Although his preference is to serve and lead diligently from the background, Eichorst has already canvassed the state promoting Husker Athletics and Nebraska’s tremendously talented student-athletes making more than 70 appearances across Nebraska and visiting eight other states in just his first seven months. Eichorst emphasizes academics first and is proud to acknowledge Nebraska’s nation-leading 307 Academic All-Americans, including eight who earned the honor in 2012-13. In fact, he has invited all of the academic honor winners back to campus for a reunion in November. He has met with each college dean on campus and uses his monthly radio show and his Connecting on Campus column to promote campus, coach and student-athlete academic and community successes. More than 200 Husker student-athletes were honored at the academic recognition banquet this spring while 188 were named academic All-Big Ten in 2012-13.

During Eichorst’s first semester at Nebraska in the spring of 2013, women’s bowling, coached by the legendary Bill Straub, won a national title and Rhonda Revelle’s softball team advanced to the Women’s College World Series.

The women’s basketball team, coached by Connie Yori, completed a run to the NCAA Sweet 16 for the second time in program history and the women’s tennis team, coached by Scott Jacobson, made an appearance in the Sweet 16 for the first time in program history and earned a share of the Big Ten title. Tennis player Mary Weatherholt finished runner-up at the NCAA Singles Championship, the highest-ever finish for a Nebraska tennis player. In addition to women’s tennis, two other Nebraska teams added Big Ten titles in the spring of 2013, as the women’s gymnastics team, coached by Dan Kendig, won its second-straight Big Ten title and third-straight conference title overall. The men’s track and field team, coached by Gary Pepin, claimed the outdoor team title. In the summer of 2013, three facility projects were completed: Memorial Stadium, which expands to accommodate more than 90,000 football fans and will include the Nebraska Athletic Performance Laboratory (NAPL) and the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior (CB3) research facilities; Pinnacle Bank Arena in downtown Lincoln, where the Husker men’s and women’s basketball teams will be permanent tenants; and the renovated Bob Devaney Sports Center, where volleyball, men’s and women’s gymnastics and the wrestling team will compete. Construction for each of these three facilities began with Osborne at the helm. Athletic Director Emeritus Osborne continues to provide Eichorst with counsel on a number of items including the East Stadium research initiatives. The collaborative research that will take place within an athletic facility shared by academics and athletics is believed to be the first of its kind and sets the tone for the leadership role Nebraska has taken in the Big Ten Conference and nationally. Eichorst came to Nebraska after spending 18 months as the Director of Athletics at the University of Miami. He was named the 12th Director of Athletics at Miami on April 12, 2011 and served until Oct. 4, 2012 when he was hired by Nebraska as a Special Assistant to Chancellor Perlman.

In his first year as Director of Athletics at Miami, Eichorst helped grow the academic reputation as well as the fan base. Under his watchful eye, the Hurricane Club grew by more than 500 members, surpassing 5,000 members nationwide. More than $19 million in student-athlete support was generated in 2011-12 and an additional $14.2 million in capital gifts was raised toward the new Center for Athletic Excellence facility, scheduled for completion in the fall of 2013.

During his tenure, both the Hurricane men’s and women’s basketball programs advanced to the postseason, with the women posting the highest national ranking in school history at No. 5, advancing to the NCAA second round. The women’s tennis team advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals for the fourth straight season and the baseball program extended its NCAA postseason appearances

streak to 40 consecutive seasons. The women’s soccer team posted the first NCAA postseason win in program history, while the volleyball team advanced to the NCAA postseason for the third straight year and finished the season ranked 15th in the nation.

Before his appointment at Miami, Eichorst served from 2009 to 2011 as the Deputy Athletics Director at the University of Wisconsin, where his responsibilities under Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez included serving as the department’s Chief Operating Officer and overseeing the day-to-day operations of the highly successful athletics program. At Wisconsin, Eichorst was involved in the design and planning of a new ice hockey and swimming facility completed in the fall of 2012, as well as with the Student-Athlete Performance Center in the north end zone of Camp Randall Stadium. He joined the Badgers’ staff in 2006 as a Senior Associate Athletics Director and was promoted to Executive Associate Athletics Director in 2007.

Eichorst has experience with three BCS conference institutions previously serving as University of South Carolina’s Senior Associate Athletics Director for Administration from 2004 to 2006. With the Gamecocks, Eichorst oversaw daily operations of the department and supervised the football and baseball programs. The football team was bowl-eligible each year during Eichorst’s tenure, and the baseball program competed in the 2004 College World Series. Additionally, he coordinated and supervised multi-million dollar facility projects, including a state-of-the-art football training facility.

Eichorst served as the Director of Athletics at his alma mater, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater until 2003. Under his tenure, UW-Whitewater developed into one of the nation’s top Division III athletic programs, with four top 10 percent National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Directors Cup finishes; one NCAA team championship; two NCAA team runner-up finishes and five individual national champions. The program also featured 38 Academic All-America selections, seven NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners and 74 All-Americans.

A native of Lone Rock, Wis., Eichorst was an all-conference defensive back, a three-time letterwinner and 1990 team captain for the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater football team. He graduated magna cum laude in business from UW-Whitewater in 1990 and earned a law degree from Marquette University in 1995. He practiced law in Milwaukee before accepting the position at Wisconsin-Whitewater.

He is a past member of the NCAA Division I Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee and State Bar of Wisconsin Board of Governors. He also previously served as an assistant adjunct professor of law at Marquette University Law School, where he taught classes in sports law. He currently serves on the Marquette University National Sports Law Institute Board of Advisors.

In 2006, he was awarded the Sports Law Alumnus of the Year by Marquette. He also is a graduate of the Sports Management Institute and serves on its Executive Committee.

Eichorst and his wife Kristin have three sons: Jack, Joseph and Bennett.

“The Nebraska Baseball Academy has a passion for this great game of baseball. Our purpose is to influence the lives of the youth in a positive way. The Academy will help do this by teaching all participants how to play the game the right way, developing the unique tools each child has and creating a work ethic that is unbreakable on and off the field. We will give you the tools to build your foundation as a baseball player and have a blast doing it!” - Head Coach Darin Erstad

Nebraska Baseball Academy CampsHere is a sample of some of the many camps run by the

Nebraska baseball academy during the year.

Fall LeagueThe Fall League is a mini-season experience. The purpose

of the Fall League is to provide the participants an opportunity to continue to improve their overall baseball skills and development in the fall. It provides participants with more innings, extra repetitions, extra at bats and a chance to play other positions and improve basic fundamentals. Teams are encouraged to register; individuals who register will be assigned to a roster based on age level. The League runs for five weeks on Sundays and will include one weekday evening session for Skill Instruction. All games will include umpires and will be held at various fields throughout the City of Lincoln and area communities. Age levels for this League are 11/12; 13/14; and 15 - high school seniors.

4-on-1 Hitting InstructionThis is a four-week class, meeting once a week for 60

minutes (four hours of total instruction). The Intensive Hitting Instructional Camp is a hands-on class for those who want to improve their hitting. Classes are very small and sessions are designed to teach drills and philosophy that we hope will create a consistent level of success for all ages and abilities.Stars of Tomorrow Camp

This camp is exclusively for those student-athletes in high school. The camp is a unique blend of evaluations and teaching instruction and game situations that allows participants to learn the game of baseball. Pitching, hitting and defense will be emphasized. All of this will be followed by a scrimmage against other participants. Other area smaller colleges and Junior College coaches will be invited to attend this camp.Day Camps

Each summer we conduct several Day Camps in various towns throughout the state of Nebraska. Day Camps are what we consider All Skills Camps on the road! Day Camps typically run from 9 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.. If your community has interest in hosting a day camp, please contact Renee Brinkmann at the Nebraska Baseball Office (402) 472-2269 or [email protected]. She would be happy to discuss the requirements for hosting a summer camp in your area in the Summer of 2014.Veteran Hitting School

This is a 4-week session, meeting once a week for 2 hours (8 hours of total instruction) and is for high school players only. Techniques and drills used during this session are the same taught and practiced daily by Nebraska Baseball. The Hitting School will focus on a comprehensive training program with special emphasis on routine and repetition. Each week will begin with a block of “classroom time” to help players stay focused on what is being taught on that particular day.Individual Private Lessons

Individual private lessons (Hitting/Pitching/Catching) are now available through the Nebraska Baseball Academy. Because of NCAA bylaws, these private lessons are open only to 10-year olds through individuals currently in the eighth grade. NCAA bylaws state that “prospective student-athletes” shall include any individual who has started classes for the ninth grade and are prohibited from participating in private lessons. Lessons will be 4-week sessions meeting once a week for 45 minutes.Annual Coaches Clinic

The Nebraska Baseball Coaches Clinic is for high school, college and youth baseball coaches - anyone who wants to learn more about the game of baseball. We hope you will join us, along with Darin Erstad, Will Bolt, Ted Silva, Jeff Christy and Curtis Ledbetter as we work together in helping to make kids better all-around baseball players. The coaches will be joined by a guest speaker each year, including brothers David and Rick Eckstein in 2014.

His eight outfield assists ranked in the top-five nationally. Christensen was the first Husker to earn first-team honors in consecutive seasons since Alex Gordon in 2004 and 2005.

A third-team pick as a freshman in 2012, Kelly proved himself as the league’s top second baseman in 2013. Following a freshman season that saw him post 51 hits and a .313 batting average on his way to being named a freshman All-American by four publications, Kelly tied Christensen for fourth in the league with 75 hits on the year, including 43 hits during conference play, which ranked second to Christensen’s 44 hits. A native of Red Wing, Minn., Kelly ended the regular season with a .326 average, 10 doubles, one triple, one homer and 28 RBIs. Along with his production at the plate, he improved his play in the field, raising his fielding percentage from .966 in 2012 to .974 in 2013.

Named a 2013 Preseason All-American, Pritchard played in the first two games of the season, but then missed 10 games with an oblique injury. Following the slow start, the Omaha native found his swing and ended the regular season with a .343 average, ranking second on the team to Christensen. Pritchard reached base in 36 straight games and once Big Ten play started, he was second on the team with a .379 average and had a team-high 11 doubles. Pritchard put together a 20-game hitting streak during the 2013 season. With his 25-game hitting streak in 2012, Pritchard became the first player in school history to put together a pair of hitting streaks of 20-or-more games during a career.

Sanguinetti was named an all-conference outfielder for the second-straight season, becoming the first outfielder at Nebraska to earn consecutive all-conference accolades since Jeff Leise was a three-time Big 12 honoree from 2001 to 2003. Sanguinetti got off to a slow start, but after taking over as Nebraska’s primary leadoff hitter at Cal State Fullerton on March 19, the Arlington, Texas, native turned around his senior season. Over the final 36 games of the regular season, Sanguinetti was third on the team with a .351 batting average and failed to reach base in a game only twice. After switching to the leadoff spot, Sanguinetti raised his overall average by nearly .130 points from .175 to .303, which ranked fourth on the team. After making just one error in 2012, Sanguinetti again solidified the Husker defense with an error-free 2013 in center field.

Kalkowski picked up his second career all-conference award after being named an honorable-mention All-Big 12 pick in 2011. Kalkowski saw time in the outfield and at first base in 2012, but became NU’s everyday first baseman in 2013. Playing one of the toughest spots on the diamond, the senior from Grand Island looked like a seasoned veteran, with just four errors on the year. He continued to deliver at the plate, as Kalkowski led all players during league play with 27 RBIs. The 6-1 righty had at least one RBI in 15 of his 24 Big Ten

Conference games, and produced at least a pair of RBIs seven times. He delivered four RBIs in a league game twice in 2013, including at home against Ohio State (April 12) and at Purdue (April 20). During the regular season, Kalkowski tied for 11th in the league with 37 RBIs and his 12 doubles on the year were second on the team to Pritchard’s 13.

Headley earned his first all-conference honor as the third-team’s third baseman. After senior Josh Scheffert, who was a second-team pick at third base in 2012, got hurt in Nebraska’s second Big Ten game of the season, Headley stepped in and made the most of his opportunity with 40 hits and 20 RBIs during the regular season. The Omaha native hit .337 in 23 Big Ten games with four doubles and 14 RBIs. The sophomore was solid at the hot corner with two errors on the season, which led all third basemen in the conference. During league play, Headley posted a .424 on-base percentage, which ranked eighth among all players.

Peters wrapped up the list of Husker honorees, as he earned the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award. A second baseman during his first three seasons at Nebraska, Peters took Kelly under his wing in 2012 and aided in the development of the freshman. In 2013, Peters shifted to shortstop, where again he guided a pair of freshmen in Wes Edrington and Jake Placzek. Peters started 32 games for the Huskers during the regular season, contributing five doubles and 16 RBIs.

Three Huskers Picked During 2013 MLB DraftThree players with ties to the Nebraska baseball program heard their names called on the final day of the MLB First-Year Player Draft.

Husker signee Derek Burkamper was first to come off the board in the 20th round, when the right-handed pitcher from Muscatine, Iowa, was selected by the Boston Red Sox, Two rounds later, the Red Sox took another high school product in NU signee Ryan Boldt from Red Wing, Minn.

Chad Christensen heard his name called for the second straight year on Saturday when he was picked in the 25th round by the Minnesota Twins.

Christensen’s selection marked the 35th-straight year that at least one Husker was picked in the MLB Draft.

2013 Season ReviewHuskers One Win Shy of Winning First Conference Tournament Title Since 2005Huskers No-Hit No. 10 RazorbacksA trio of Huskers combined for the ninth no-hitter in school history on April 16, 2013, as Kyle Kubat, Tyler Niederklein and Dylan Vogt held the No. 10 Arkansas Razorbacks hitless in a 3-0 Nebraska win in the first game of a doubleheader.

It was the fourth combined no-hitter in school history and the first no-hitter since four Huskers no-hit Peru State on March 6, 1993. It was the first no-hitter against a Division I program since April 5, 1981, when Anthony Kelley no-hit the Oklahoma Sooners in seven innings. The last nine-inning no hitter against a Division I team was on April 20, 1954, when Richard Geier threw a perfect game against the Kansas Jayhawks.

After being sidelined with shoulder soreness for the first 33 games of the year, Kubat made his season debut against the nationally ranked Razorbacks. A freshman All-American in 2012 and third-team All-Big Ten pick, Kubat dealt 5.0 innings of no-hit ball. Kubat retired the first six Arkansas batters he faced, before issuing a leadoff walk in the third. He then sat down seven straight, before hitting Isaac Hellbusch with two out in the fifth.

Niederklein took over in the top of the sixth and picked up right where Kubat left off, as he retired the first seven Razorbacks he faced. After issuing a one-out walk to Hellbusch, who reached for the third time in the game, Head Coach Darin Erstad went to Vogt.

Vogt came on and quickly ended the eighth by getting pinch-hitter Eric Fischer to ground into a fielder’s choice before striking out Brett McAfee.

Facing the top of Arkansas’ order in the ninth, Vogt issued a walk to leadoff hitter Matt Vinson to start the inning, but cleared the bases when Joe Serrano grounded into a 6-3 double play.

With one out to go for the first no-hitter in over 20 years, Vogt got ahead 0-2 on Tyler Spoon and on the 114th pitch of the game for the Huskers, Spoon flied out to center fielder Rich Sanguinetti to complete the no-hitter.

Seven Huskers Earn Big Ten HardwareSeven members of the Nebraska baseball team were honored by the Big Ten Conference during the 2013 season, including Chad Christensen and Pat Kelly, who were each tabbed as first-team All-Big Ten performers by the league coaches. Michael Pritchard was a second-team selection, while Kash Kalkowski, Rich Sanguinetti and Blake Headley were all third-team picks. Senior Bryan Peters rounded out the group as Nebraska’s Sportsmanship Award winner.

A first-team pick for the second-straight season, Christensen was one of three first-team outfielders named after being the first-team shortstop in 2012. During the regular season, the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, native led or was tied for the team lead in average (.362), hits (75), runs (39), triples (3) and home runs (2). During conference play, Christensen led the league in batting average (.431), hits (44) and runs scored (26).

After playing shortstop during his first three seasons at Nebraska, Christensen made a smooth transition to the outfield in 2013, where he had eight assists on the year and no errors.

Kyle Kubat was one of three pitchers who combined for a no-hitter against Arkansas in 2013.

Game Summary: After plowing his way through Kansas’ first 20 batters, (and having only four Jayhawks hit the ball out of the infield) senior pitcher Cliff Faust must have thought he was seeing his perfect game slip away. The Jayhawks’ Dick Lewallen came to the plate with two outs in the seventh (and final inning) and promptly hit a sinking line drive into left field. But left fielder Joe Scherger made a diving grab to save Faust’s perfect game. Outside of Lewallen’s game ender, no other Jayhawk made a serious bid to reach base.

He returned to the Majors in 2003, hitting .266 with 13 homers, 64 RBIs and 30 doubles, as Kansas City posted its first winning season since 1993. Harvey enjoyed his best year in the Major Leagues in 2004, when he was selected to the MLB All-Star game. That year, he played in 120 games, hitting .287 with 13 homers and 55 RBIs before suffering a season-ending knee injury in September.

games. His .355 on-base percentage ranked second among AL rookies, his 50 walks tied for second and his .451 slugging percentage ranked third. He was selected to the Topps Major League Rookie All-Star team, besting National League Rookie of the Year Ryan Howard for the prestigious honor. In 2006, he was a part-time starter for Oakland’s AL West Divisional title team, hitting .234 with nine homers and 37 RBIs in 91 contests. In 2007, Johnson earned a spot in the everyday starting lineup, setting career bests in homers (18) and RBIs (67) while appearing in 117 contests. In 2008, he was signed by the American League Champion Tampa Bay Rays, hitting .192 with a pair of homers and four RBIs. He made an immediate impact in his debut on Sept. 10, hitting a game-tying home run off Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon in the ninth inning of a 5-4 Rays win. Johnson spent the 2009 season with the Yokohama BayStars of Japan’s Central League. He rejoined Tampa Bay for the 2010 campaign and was called up in August. On Aug. 28, he hit a walk-off home run against the Boston Red Sox. Johnson had one of the most powerful bats on the Rays’ roster, and helped his team to the postseason with seven homers in just 40 games. He played 31 games for the Rays in 2011, including six games in September during the Rays run to the playoffs. Johnson again came through with a big home run on the final day of the 2011 regular season with a two-out solo shot in the bottom of the ninth inning with two strikes to tie the game, 7-7, against the Yankees in Tampa Bay. The Rays went on to win the game in 12 innings and capture the American League Wild Card. Johnson spent most of the 2012 season with the Chicago White Sox’s Triple-A team in Charlotte, where he hit 21 doubles, 28 home runs and drove in 85 runs in 137 games. He played 14 games for the White Sox in 2012 and once again had an outstanding day at the plate on the final day of the regular season with three home runs against the Cleveland Indians. Johnson looked to have a shot to make the N.Y. Yankee’s roster in 2013, but instead played 133 games for the organization’s Triple-A affiliate in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He produced 116 hits, including 26 doubles and 21 home runs, while driving in 69 runs. Johnson was picked up by the Baltimore Orioles late in the season and after playing five games at Triple-A Norfolk, he was called up three games in late September with the Major League club.

Drew Anderson became the first former Husker from the state of Nebraska to reach the Majors since 1990, when he made his MLB debut for the Milwaukee Brewers on Sept. 11, 2006. A 24th-round pick of the Brewers in 2003, Anderson appeared in nine contests as a rookie, earning his first career hit in a start against the San Francisco Giants on Sept. 21, 2006.Year Team G AVG AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB2006 MIL-NL 9 .111 9 3 1 0 0 0 0 1 4 0Totals 1 Year 9 .111 9 3 1 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 Alex Gordon (2003-05)2007-Present; Kansas City Royals

Alex Gordon enjoyed a rapid rise to the Major Leagues as he spent one season in the minors before making the Kansas City Royals’ 2007 opening day roster. Gordon, Baseball America’s Minor League Player of the Year in 2006, hit .247 with 36 doubles, four triples, 15 home runs, 60 RBIs and 60 runs scored while going 14-of-18 on the basepaths. He led all American League rookies in extra-base hits (55) and was in the top three among AL rookies in home runs (second), RBIs (third), doubles (third), triples (third), stolen bases (third) and total bases (third). Gordon’s continued development helped the Royals to their best record since 2003, as he hit .260 with 16 homers and 59 RBIs in 134 contests in 2008. In 2009, he was slowed by a hip injury and played just 30 games, hitting .232 with six homers and 22 RBIs. A broken thumb and position change to outfield put a slow start to Gordon’s 2010 season. He went on to play in 74 games and hit .215 with eight homers and 10 doubles. Playing as the Royals’ everyday left fielder in 2011, Gordon shined in the field and produced his best offensive season as a Royal. For his defensive efforts, Gordon became the 19th Royal, but only the third since 1989, to earn a Rawlings Gold Glove Award and the first former Husker to be selected for the award since 2004 when Darin Erstad collected his third Gold Glove. The award was the first of Gordon’s career after he led the league with a club-record 20 assists. Offensively, Gordon set then-career highs in batting average (.303), runs (101), home runs (23), RBIs (87), stolen bases (17) on-base percentage (.376) and slugging percentage (.502). Gordon continued to flash one of the top gloves in the game in 2012 and was awarded his second straight Gold Glove award, becoming the first Royal to win consecutive Gold Gloves since second baseman Frank White in 1986-87. Gordon played in a career-high 161 games and led all left fielders in the majors with 17 outfield assists, while making just two errors all year for a .994 fielding percentage. He saved 24 runs (sabermetric statistic) on the year, the most of any left fielder in baseball, according to FanGraphs. His offensive numbers were also impressive, as he set career highs in hits (189), doubles (51) and triples (5), while hitting .294 with 14 home runs and 72 RBIs. His 51 doubles led the majors. The 2013 season was a banner year for Gordon, as not only did he earn his first invitation to the All-Star Game, but he also earned his third-straight Gold Glove, beating out Oakland’s Yoenis Cespedes and Detroit’s Andy Dirks after he led American League left fielders with 341 total chances but made only one error. He led

the AL with 17 outfield assists, producing a Major League best 54 assists since 2011. Already one of just three players in Royals’ franchise history to win the award more than once, Gordon joined second baseman Frank White as the only Royals player to win three in a row. The award tied Gordon with former Husker and current Head Coach Darin Erstad for the most Gold Gloves by a Husker. Erstad made MLB history in 2004 when he became the first player to ever win Gold Gloves in the infield and outfield. Erstad earned the award as a center fielder in 2000 and 2002, before being selected as a Gold Glove recipient at first base in 2004. Offensively in 2013, Gordon hit .265 with 27 doubles, a career-high six triples, 20 home runs and 81 RBIs. Gordon helped the Royals to an 86-76 record in 2013, their first winning season since 2003 and just their second since 1994.Year Team G AVG AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB 2007 KC-AL 151 .247 543 60 134 36 4 15 60 41 137 14 2008 KC-AL 134 .260 493 72 128 35 1 16 59 66 120 9 2009 KC-AL 49 .232 164 28 38 6 0 6 22 21 43 5 2010 KC-AL 74 .215 242 34 52 10 0 8 20 34 62 1 2011 KC-AL 151 .303 611 101 185 45 4 23 87 67 139 17 2012 KC-AL 161 .294 642 93 189 51 5 14 72 73 140 10 2013 KC-AL 156 .265 633 90 168 27 6 20 81 52 141 11 Totals 7 Years 876 .269 3,328 478 894 210 20 102 401 354 782 67

Joba Chamberlain (2005-06)2007-Present; New York Yankees

Joba Chamberlain became an overnight sensation for the New York Yankees, propelling the franchise to a playoff appearance in 2007. He began the year in Class A Tampa and jumped four levels in his first professional season. He finished the season in the Majors, going 2-0 with a 0.38 ERA in 19 appearances, striking out 34 over 24 innings of work after being called up on Aug. 7. He earned his first MLB win against Seattle on Sept. 5, tossing a perfect inning of relief and followed up 11 days later with a victory over Boston. Chamberlain, a first-round pick in 2006, began his Yankee career by not allowing a run in his first 15.1 innings, the second-longest streak in franchise history and the longest in over a century. Chamberlain continued his development in 2008, going 4-3 with a 2.60 ERA for the Yankees, making 42 appearances, including 12 starts for the Bronx Bombers. He played an important role in the Yankees’ 27th world title in 2009, going 9-6 with a 4.75 ERA in 43 starts during the regular season. In the playoffs, he was even better, posting a 1-0 record with a 2.84 ERA in 10 games, earning a win in the World Series for the Yankees. Chamberlain was moved to the bullpen for the 2010 season and appeared in 73 games, the fifth-most in the American League. He posted three saves and struck out 77 hitters in 71.2 innings. Chamberlain’s 2011 season was cut short due to a torn ligament in his right elbow that forced him to have Tommy John surgery. He went 2-0 in the short season and served as the team’s set-up man to Mariano Rivera. Chamberlain pitched in 27 games with 24 strikeouts in 28.2 innings of work and a 2.83 ERA. After recovering from Tommy John surgery, Chamberlain was bit by the injury bug again prior to the start of the 2012 season when he suffered an ankle injury and started the year on the 60-day disabled list. Chamberlain worked hard and returned to the mound for the Yankees on Aug. 1 against the Baltimore Orioles. He made 22 appearances during the regular season and struck out 22 batters over 20.2 innings of work. In the 2012 postseason, Chamberlain threw 2.1 innings over four games, including three games against the American League Champion Detroit Tigers. In 2013, Chamberlain missed part of the beginning of the season with a strained oblique muscle, but returned to make 45 appearances for the Yankees. It was the second-most appearances during his career after making a combined 49 appearances during the 2010-2011 seasons. Chamberlain finished the season with a 2-1 record and one save to go with a career-high 4.93 ERA in 42.0 innings of work.

Brian Duensing (2003-05) 2009-Present; Minnesota Twins

Brian Duensing made the Minnesota Twins’ opening day roster in 2009. He had just one appearance before returning to Triple-A Rochester in April. Duensing was recalled by the Twins on July 3, and played a major role in Minnesota’s late-season run to the AL Central pennant, going 5-2 with a 3.64 ERA in 24 games, including a 5-1 mark with a 2.73 ERA in nine starts. Duensing, a third-round pick by the Twins in the 2005 MLB Draft, started the Twins’ opener in the 2009 ALDS, becoming only the third Twins rookie to start a playoff game since the franchise moved to Minnesota in 1961. Duensing made a name for himself during the 2010 season as one of the Twins’ most reliable starters. He went 10-3 with a 2.62 ERA and was at his best down the stretch, earning a spot in the starting rotation in July and then posting his first career shutout less than a month later. He was Minnesota’s No. 3 starter in the 2010 playoffs. Duensing served as the Twins’ No. 3 starter in 2011 and started a career-high 28 games. Minnesota was hit hard by injuries all season, including Duensing, who missed time with an oblique strain. He won nine games for Ron Garndenhire’s club and topped 100 strikeouts for the first time in his career with 115. The year was highlighted on July 4 with a complete-game shutout of the Tampa Bay Rays at Target Field, as Duensing gave up just six hits and struck out seven. Duensing worked as a

starter and out of the bullpen for the Twins in 2012, as he made 55 appearances, including 11 starts. He finished the season with a 5.12 ERA over 109.9 innings of work. His 69 strikeouts to 27 walks gave him a 2.5-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Duensing was a key member of the Twins’ bullpen in 2013, as he made a career-high 73 appearances. He finished the season with a 3.98 ERA, while posting a 6-2 record and earned his first career save.

Alex Gordon earned a place among the finest players in school history during his three-year career, becoming the first Husker to earn national player-of-the-year honors in 2005. Gordon swept nearly every major honor that season, including the Dick Howser Trophy, the Brooks Wallace Award and the USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award, in leading NU to 57 wins and the school’s first College World Series victory.

Gordon began his professional career with a flourish in 2006, hitting .325 with 39 doubles, 29 home runs and 100 RBIs en route to being named Baseball America’s Minor League Player of the Year. He ranked second among all minor leaguers in total bases (286) and fourth in runs scored (111) and ranked in the top 10 among all minor leaguers in homers, RBIs and slugging percentage. Gordon continued his rapid rise in 2007, starting at third base for the Kansas City Royals on opening day. He finished the year with a .247 average with 36 doubles, four triples, 15 home runs, 60 RBIs and 60 runs scored while going 14-of-18 on the base paths. Gordon led all American League rookies in extra-base hits (55) and was in the top three among American League rookies in six other categories, including homers and RBIs. In 2008, Gordon raised his average to .260 and belted 16 homers despite missing part of the year with a hip flexor. Gordon’s continued development helped Kansas City to its best record since 2003. Gordon battled a hip injury that required surgery in 2009, as he played in just 49 contests, hitting .232 with six homers and 22 RBIs. A broken thumb slowed Gordon’s progress in 2010 and he later went to Triple-A Omaha to make a position change to outfield. He returned to Kansas City and went on to play in 74 games, hitting .215 with eight homers and 10 doubles. Playing as the Royals’ everyday left fielder in 2011, Gordon shined in the field and produced his best offensive season as a Royal. For his defensive efforts, Gordon became the 19th Royal, but only the third since 1989, to earn a Rawlings Gold Glove Award and the first former Husker to be selected for the award since 2004 when Darin Erstad collected his third Gold Glove. The award was the first of Gordon’s career after he led the league with a club-record 20 assists. Offensively, Gordon set career highs in batting average (.303), runs (101), home runs (23), RBIs (87), stolen bases (17) on-base percentage (.376) and slugging percentage (.502). Gordon continued to flash one of the top gloves in the game in 2012 and was awarded his second straight Gold Glove award. Gordon played in a career-high 161 games and led all left fielders in the majors with 17 outfield assists, while making just two errors all year for a .994 fielding percentage. He saved 24 runs (sabermetric statistic) on the year, the most of any left fielder in baseball, according to FanGraphs. His offensive numbers were also impressive, as he set career highs in hits (189), doubles (51) and triples (5), while hitting .294 with 14 home runs and 72 RBIs. His 51 doubles led the majors. 2013 was a banner year for Gordon, as he earned his first invitation to the All-Star Game and claimed his third-straight Gold Glove. He led the AL with 17 outfield assists, producing a Major League best 54 assists since 2011. Already one of just three players in Royals’ franchise history to win the award more than once, Gordon joined second baseman Frank White as the only Royal to win three in a row. The award tied Gordon with former Husker and current Head Coach Darin Erstad for the most Gold Gloves by a Husker. Offensively in 2013, Gordon hit .265 with 27 doubles, a career-high six triples, 20 home runs and 81 RBIs. Gordon helped the Royals to an 86-76 record in 2013, their first winning season since 2003 and just their second since 1994.

A career .355 hitter in three seasons at Nebraska, Gordon finished his Husker career in the top 10 in eight offensive categories: total bases (447, third); homers (44, fourth); RBIs (189, fourth); doubles (53, fourth); runs (188, eighth); hits (249, ninth); slugging percentage (.657, ninth) and triples (11, 10th). Gordon played every game of his final two seasons at NU and closed his career with 171 consecutive starts. The Lincoln, Neb., native capped his career by becoming the No. 2 overall pick by the Kansas City Royals in June of 2005. His selection was the highest by a Husker since Darin Erstad was tabbed No. 1 by the Anaheim (now Los Angeles) Angels 10 years earlier. Gordon is the highest draft pick in Big 12 baseball history.

In his final season at Nebraska, Gordon led the Huskers to a sweep of the Big 12 regular-season and tournament titles, hitting .372 with 19 homers, 66 RBIs and 23 stolen bases. A two-time Big 12 Player of the Year, Gordon led the conference in six categories, and ranked among the league leaders in all 12 offensive categories. He became the first player since Baylor’s Jason Jennings to repeat as Big 12 Player of the Year.

Third baseman Alex Gordon became Nebraska’s first national player of the year in baseball during the 2005 season, leading the Huskers to a Big 12 title and College World Series appearance.

The No. 1 overall pick in the 1995 amateur draft, Darin Erstad enjoyed more than a decade in the Major Leagues, playing with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Chicago White Sox and Houston Astros. During his playing career, Erstad won a World Series ring with the Angels in 2002 and appeared in the MLB Playoffs three times.

In 2005, Erstad helped the Angels to their second straight American League West title, batting .273 with seven homers and 66 RBIs. He was second among American League first basemen with a .997 fielding percentage and was honored for his charitable work, as he was selected as the Angels’ recipient of the 2005 Roberto Clemente Award for his efforts in the Southern California community.

Erstad made Major League history in 2004, becoming the first player to ever win Gold Gloves in the infield and outfield when he was chosen as the Gold Glove winner at first base. Erstad won his two previous Gold Gloves as a center fielder in 2000 and 2002. He ranked third among American League first basemen with a .996 fielding percentage in 2004, committing four errors in 1,056 total chances. Erstad helped the Angels to their first American League West Division title in 16 years, batting .295 with seven homers and 69 RBIs.

During the 2002 regular season, he batted .283 with 10 homers and 73 RBIs, while leading the Angels with 23 stolen bases. Defensively, he led all AL center fielders with a .998 fielding percentage, committing one error in 473 total chances, en route to his second Gold Glove in three years. During the postseason, Erstad batted .352 with a pair of homers, while tying a Major League record with 25 hits in the Angels’ first playoff appearance since 1986.

He enjoyed a career year in 2000, leading the Majors with 240 base hits, batting .355 and topping the Angels in seven categories, including average, runs, hits, total bases and stolen bases. His 240 hits tied for the 12th most in Major League history and the most since Wade Boggs had 240 in 1985. Erstad earned an All-Star bid for the second time and won his first Gold Glove, committing three errors in 362 total chances for a .992 fielding percentage.

In 1998, he hit .296 with 82 RBIs and 84 runs scored, and became an All-Star for the first time in his career. His jump to the Major Leagues came after only one year in the minors. Erstad hit .284 with four homers and 20 runs batted in during 57 games as a rookie in 1996. In 1997, he landed the Angels’ starting first base job, finishing the season with a .299 average and 16 home runs. In 1998, Erstad played in 133 games and hit .296 with 19 home runs and 82 RBIs.

Erstad spent his last two seasons with the Houston Astros, hitting .276 with four homers and 31 RBIs in his first season with the club. The 140 games he appeared in during the 2008 season was his highest total since 2005. In 2007, he appeared in 87 games for the Chicago White Sox after spending his first 11 years with the Angels, hitting .248 with four homers and 32 RBIs despite a sprained ankle that restricted his playing time. It was the second straight year that Erstad battled injuries, as he played in just 40 contests in 2006, his final season with Los Angeles.

A two-sport star at Nebraska, Erstad was a first-team All-American and Big Eight Co-Player of the Year as a junior in 1995, batting .410 with 19 homers and 76 RBIs. A Golden Spikes Award finalist as a junior, he finished his Husker career holding school records for most hits (six), runs (six), and RBIs (six) in a game; most hits (103) and total bases (194) in a single season (1995) and most career hits (261). In addition to his exploits on the diamond, Erstad, a two-time academic all-conference selection, was also the starting punter for the Huskers’ 1994 national championship football team, helping NU to a 13-0 record.

All-Time Series Records

The Huskers hold a 63-62-2 record against teams from the Big Ten Conference entering the 2014 season. Nebraska has played at least one game against every Big Ten program. NU finished the 2013 conference season with a 15-9 mark and was 4-2 at the Big Ten Tournament, coming up one win shy of winning the tournament.

124




The Nebraska baseball program has been one of the nation’s premier programs for the last decade.

The Huskers have qualified for the NCAA Tournament in nine of the past 15 years including College World Series appearances in 2001, 2002 and 2005.

In 2007, Baseball America ranked the country’s top programs since 1999 in several categories including winning percentage, NCAA Tournament appearances, Super Regional and College World Series appearances, All-Americans, players drafted in the top 10 rounds and players reaching the Major Leagues. Nebraska ranked 11th nationally among all programs and was the only Northern program ranked in the top 15.

Nebraska baseball has a long history of producing All-Americans, as the Huskers have totaled 98 All-America certificates. Bob Cerv was the first Husker to be named an All-American in 1950, when he was first-team selection by the American Baseball Coaches Association. Following the 2012 season, designated hitter Michael Pritchard was named a third-team All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, while Pat Kelly and Kyle Kubat each earned freshman All-America accolades.

The Huskers have also enjoyed great success at the conference level, winning four Big 12 Tournament titles (1999-01, 2005) and three regular-season titles (2001, 2003, 2005). Last season, the Huskers were one win shy of winning their first Big Ten title.

Located on 32 acres one-half mile west of the University of Nebraska campus, Hawks Field at Haymarket Park is

widely recognized as one of the top college ballparks in the nation. Hawks Field features 4,419 chair-back seats with an up-close view of the action. Berm seating along both lines and throughout the outfield can handle more than 4,000 fans, providing another affordable family-friendly option. Hawks Field also features 16 suites, a club level lounge and a spacious, two-level press box with four radio and television booths.

The playing surface of Kentucky Bluegrass is the only college field in the country to be a two-time Field of the Year by the Sports Turf Managers Association, winning the honor in both 2004 and 2007. The $29.53 million complex includes medical and laundry facilities, coaches’ offices and team lockers and a team lounge, all located in the baseball office building overlooking left field. The Husker 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.

Prior to the start of the 2012 season, a new LED videoboard was installed that is nearly three times the size and resolution for the ballpark’s original video screen. The widescreen display is 17 feet tall and 34 feet wide, allowing Nebraska’s HuskerVision department to display introductions for each player, highlights and live crowd shots during the game

The Huskers have enjoyed playing at Hawks Field since its opening in 2002, posting a record of 261-95-1 (.732) over the past 12 seasons.

The Huskers’ clubhouse was completely renovated in January of 2010, making the facility one of the best in the nation.

In addition to Hawks Field at Haymarket Park, the Nebraska baseball team enjoys several first-class

support facilities, including the Tom and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex, the Hawks Championship Center and the Huskers’ new indoor facility, the Alex Gordon Training Center. The facility was named after the former Husker All-American and three-time Gold Glove winner following a generous $1 million donation by the Alex Gordon family.

Construction of the $4.75 million indoor practice facility began in November of 2010 and was completed in less than one year in September of 2011. The 22,000-square foot building features a large indoor practice area, along with restrooms and storage facilities. The facility is conveniently located on the northeast corner of Haymarket Park, just a few feet from Nebraska’s locker room, clubhouse, athletic medicine facilities and coaches’ offices.

The practice area has an open design, with 18,000 square feet of usable space. The space is lined with netting, allowing for the entire area to be used for live batting practice and game simulation.

The facility features six retractable batting cages. The batting cages are designed to be large enough to allow for batters to face pitchers in live simulation at the correct pitching distance. When not in use, the cages can be easily retracted to allow for use of the entire space.

The Hawks Championship Center, located within the Tom and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex, opened in 2006. The Osborne Complex serves as the home of Nebraska’s Strength Complex, Athletic Medicine Center and NU’s administrative offices.

For more than a decade, one of the hallmarks for the success of the Nebraska baseball

program have been its player development. From strength and conditioning, nutrition and skill instruction, players are ready for the rigors of professional baseball following their Husker experience.

Since 2000, Nebraska has had 25 players selected in the top-10 rounds of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, including third baseman Cody Asche in 2011. Of those 25 players, only seven had been drafted before embarking on their Husker career, including none in the first 20 rounds.

Players (from left) such as Joba Chamberlain, Mike Mariot, Jeff Christy and Jake Opitz are among the many Huskers who improved their draft position during their time at NU. The Huskers have averaged more than five draftees a year since 2000, including eight players drafted in 2001, 2006 and 2007, which is one shy of the school-record nine draftees in 1983.

Cody Asche was picked in the fourth round of the 2011 MLB Draft by the Philadelphia Phillies. Asche made his Major League debut with the Phillies in 2013.

132




Nebraska baseball has built a solid tradition for advancing its players to the professional

ranks. A total of 34 Huskers have reached the Major Leagues, including two-time All-Star and current Husker Head Coach, Darin Erstad. In 2013, nine former Husker players (Cody Asche, Andrew Brown, Joba Chamberlain, Brian Duensing, Alex Gordon, Dan Jennings, Dan Johnson, Tony Watson and Thad Weber) played in a Major League game. In all, a total of 16 former Huskers were active in professional baseball last season, including 13 players at the Triple-A ranks or above.

The success of Nebraska student-athletes reaches far beyond athletic competition. More Husker student-athletes have been selected to CoSIDA Academic All-America teams (310) than any other school in the nation, and Nebraska has produced more NCAA Top Ten Award winners (17) than any other school. As it enters its third season of Big Ten Conference baseball competition in 2014, Nebraska continues to set the standard for the approximately 1,400 NCAA member institutions.

The Husker football team leads all individual sport programs in the nation with 107 all-time CoSIDA Academic All-America awards. The Notre Dame football program ranks second among all sports nationally with 58 all-time academic All-Americans. In fact, Nebraska’s 107 football academic All-Americans would rank among the top 25 schools (all sports, all divisions) in the nation in the number of total CoSIDA Academic All-Americans. The NU volleyball program has captured more academic All-America awards (37) than any other women’s team in the nation, while the Husker softball program ranks second on that list with 29 selections. Nebraska also ranks among the top 10 schools in the nation in CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in baseball, women’s basketball and men’s and women’s track and field/cross country. Over the past two years, the men’s and women’s track and field programs have produced 10 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans - the most in the nation during that span.

The national power Husker bowling team won its sixth national championship with a victory over top-ranked Vanderbilt.

• Based on the U.S. Census projected population for 2010, the nine-state Big Ten region accounts for approximately 70 million people, which ranks second only to the Big East and well ahead of the ACC, SEC, Pac-12 and Big 12.

BIG TEN NETWORKHeadquartered in Chicago, the Big Ten Network is the first internationally distributed television network dedicated to covering one of America’s premier collegiate conferences.

With more than 400 live sports events, and virtually all of them in high definition, the Big Ten Network is the ultimate destination for Big Ten fans and alumni across the country. The network is on the air 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The network is available to an estimated 80 million households, through agreements with more than 300 cable/satellite affiliates.

In 2012, every Big Ten home football game was nationally televised. Including road and neutral games, 99 percent (95 of 96) of Big Ten games were televised nationally and the other road game appeared on ESPN3.com

BIG TEN NETWORK FACTS - MORE TELEVISION EXPOSURE• The Big Ten’s media agreements with CBS, ABC/ESPN, Fox and BTN provide the conference with its greatest television exposure ever.

• In 2006, the Big Ten created the first national conference-owned television network devoted to the athletic and academic programs of a single conference. The Big Ten Network launched on Aug. 30, 2007, and became the first new network in cable or satellite television history to reach 30 million homes in its first 30 days.

• Since the current media agreements began in 2007-08, every home football and men’s basketball game has been produced while women’s basketball has received more coverage than any other conference.

• The Big Ten’s new media agreements have resulted in the broadcast of nearly 1,000 events nationally and regionally on an annual basis, compared to 300 events in the final year of the previous agreements.
