Schwellenbach says Oregon State series boosted Nebraska's confidence entering Texas event

It's safe to say the Oregon State baseball team made a lasting impression on Spencer Schwellenbach.

The seventh-ranked Beavers, the reigning national champions, swept a four-game series from the Huskers last weekend in Surprise, Arizona.

"It was definitely different from UC Riverside," said Schwellenbach, Nebraska's standout freshman infielder, referring to the Huskers' 3-1 series win in Riverside, California, to open the season. "I mean, it was something I've never seen before, watching a team like Oregon State take care of the ball the way it did and throw strikes."

Oregon State (8-0) outscored Nebraska 38-9, but Schwellenbach says the Huskers pushed the Beavers in two of the games.
