Cornhuskers Lose a Frustrating Game One, 11-6 to Iowa

What could have very have been a pitcher’s dual between two of the top starters in the Big Ten Conference . . . wasn't. Iowa put flamethrower Brody Brecht out on the mound to take on Nebraska's 5-1 ace Emmett Olson, but as it ended up, both of them struggled mightily for the second straight Friday. Olson ended up leaving the game with one out in the third inning after giving up five runs on six hits, along with two walks and two hit batters. Brecht made it a little further, leaving after loading the bases in the fifth.
