LINCOLN – For the second straight week the Nebraska baseball team (1-1, 0-0 Big Ten) will be in the Phoenix area, as the Huskers will be in Surprise, Ariz., for the Big Ten-Pac-12 Challenge at Surprise Stadium, the Spring Training home of the Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers. The Huskers were scheduled to play four games against the UC Riverside Highlanders last weekend in Tempe, Ariz., but rain washed out the final two games of the series.
The Huskers and Ohio State Buckeyes (2-2, 0-0 Big Ten) will represent the Big Ten Conference, while the Pac-12 will be represented by the Oregon State Beavers (4-0, 0-0 Pac-12) and the Utah Utes (2-1, 0-0 Pac-12).
