These are the weekends you want to be in the mix. Two teams at the top of the conference standings set to slug it out in the second to last series of the season. It also set up as a battle of opposites as the Hoosiers come in second in the conference in runs scored and a handful of high average hitters, and the Cornhuskers counter with the top-rated pitching staff in terms of ERA and runs allowed.
