Preview: Nebraska (17-16) snapped a two-game losing streak with
a 14-0 victory over Wichita State Tuesday evening. Four hurlers
combined on a two-hitter, while freshman Tyler Niederklein went
five innings for his second win of the season. DJ Belfonte matched
his career high with four RBIs to lead a 11-hit attack, while Adam
Bailey belted his Big 12-leading 14th round tripper of the season.
The Huskers, who will be looking for their first Big 12 series win
in 2010, enter the weekend tied for eighth in the Big 12 standings.
Kansas comes into the weekend following a 6-4 victory over Missouri
State on Tuesday night. The Jayhawks were picked to finish second
in the Big 12 race, but are in seventh place at 3-5-1 after being
swept at Texas last weekend.

Nebraska Baseball 2010 Weekly Release #15 • Page 3 • April 15,
2010 • Huskers.com
Scouting KansasUnder coach Ritch Price, Kansas is 20-13-1 on the
season
following Tuesday’s win over Missouri State. The Jayhawks, who
were picked to finish second in the league’s preseason poll,
enjoyed the league’s best non-conference series win, taking 2-of-3
from defending national champion LSU in Baton Rouge last month. In
league play, KU is 3-5-1, but has played at Baylor and at Texas
sandwiched around a three-game series with Texas A&M. The
Jayhawks were swept at Texas, but held UT to just six runs in the
first two game of the series.
KU, which returned six starters from a team that won 39 games
and reached an NCAA Regional last spring, is led by outfielder
Brian Heere, who is hitting .380 with 30 runs scored. KU has four
starters hitting over .300, including infielder Robby Price, who is
hitting at a .366 clip with 22 walks and a team-high 38 runs
scored. The Jayhawks received a recent boost with the return of
preseason Big 12 Player of the Year Tony Thompson. He became the
first Big 12 player to win the league’s triple crown in 2009,
hitting .389 with 21 homers and 82 RBIs. He has started KU’s last
15 contests, hitting .231 with two homers and 14 RBIs.
On the mound, KU is led by junior right-hander T.J. Walz, who
went 8-3 last year and is 5-2 with a 5.10 ERA and a team-high 50
strikeouts in his first eight starts. Senior right-hander Cameron
Selik (4-3, 5.07 ERA) has pitched well for KU, but the Jayhawks
lost their closer, Brett Bochy to elbow surgery. He was 2-0 with
five saves and a 0.78 ERA in 12 contests.
Series History: Nebraska leads 140-97-1 in a series that dates
back to 1892. It is the Huskers’ oldest rivalry against a
conference opponent. Kansas took 2-of-3 from the Huskers, marking
the first time since 1998 that Nebraska had lost the season series
to the Huskers. Nebraska has won the season series in Lincoln in
each of the last five meetings, including 2-of-3 in 2002, 2004,
2006 and 2008.

14-0 victory over Wichita State. Tyler Niederklein, Luke
Bublitz, Chris Williams and Sean Yost shackled the Shocker attack,
combining for eight strikeouts, as Nebraska (17-16) picked up its
second shutout of the year. WSU (21-11) had just one hit through
the first 8.1 innings, a wind-aided single by Nate Goro that
dropped in front of pitcher’s mound in the second inning.
The Huskers took control early, as Nebraska rung up six runs in
the second off Shocker starter TJ McGreevy. With two outs and a
runner on second, Bryan Peters’ RBI single started a string of five
straight base hits, including a two-run triple to right center by
Belfonte and a two-run homer by Adam Bailey into the teeth of a 30
mile per hour wind. Belfonte went 2-for-4 with four RBIs while
Bailey had two hits, including his Big 12 leading 14th homer of the
season. Kyle Bubak also drove in three runs, as Nebraska’s 14 runs
marked its highest total against the Shockers since 1985.
Leading Off•-NU assistant coach Dave Bingham served as head
coach
at Kansas for seven seasons (1988-95), leading the Jayhawks to
249 wins and the school’s only CWS appearance in 1993.
•-Over 30 former Huskers will be honored on the field prior to
Friday’s game with Kansas, as the alumni are back for the events in
conjuction with the football spring game weekend.
•-Adam Bailey’s 14 homers in 2010 is the most by a Husker since
2006, when Luke Gorsett (15) and Brandon Buckman (14) both reached
double figures in homers.
•-Nebraska’s shutout of Wichita State marked the third
consecutive time that the Shockers had been shutout in Lincoln
dating back to 2004. NU has outscored WSU 28-0 in that span.
• Nebraska’s two triples against WSU marked its first two-triple
game since March 24, 2009 against Northern Colorado.
•-One year after Kansas’ Tony Thompson became the Big 12’s first
triple crown winner, Adam Bailey is making a strong push to repeat
the feat in 2010. Bailey enters the weekend hitting .419 with 13
homers and 43 RBIs, ranking in the top two in all three categories.
At this point last year, Bailey was hitting .322 with nine homers
and 35 RBIs.

•-After not hitting 50 homers in each of the past two seasons,
Nebraska has regained its power surge in 2010. The Huskers are
second in the Big 12 with 40 homers (Oklahoma leads with 46) and
feature three of the Big 12’s top 10 home run hitters in Adam
Bailey (14, first), Cody Asche (6, ninth) and Chad Christensen (6,
ninth). Nebraska is on pace to hit 65 homers in the regular season
(54 games), which would be its highest total since belting 70 in
2006.

World Series Appearance
Mike Anderson is in his eighth year as Nebraska’s head baseball
coach after becoming the 23rd head coach in program history on June
21, 2002. At Nebraska, he has guided the Husker program to two Big
12 regular-season titles (2003 and 2005), five NCAA Regionals and
an appearance in the 2005 College World Series. That season, the
Huskers defeated Arizona State for the first CWS victory in program
history.
Since joining the Nebraska coaching staff in the fall of 1994,
he has coached a total of 25 first-team all-conference honorees,
while 48 of his former players have signed pro contracts. Anderson
has coached 10 players who have reached the Major Leagues,
including MLB All-Stars Darin Erstad and Ken Harvey, and eight
All-Americans, including 2005 National Player of the Year Alex
Gordon.
Anderson’s commitment to his student-athletes also extends to
the classroom. Over the past 17 years, the Huskers have placed 70
players on the first-team all-conference squad, including eight
selections in 2009. NU has had 10 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans and
20 first-team academic all-district selections since 1997.
Before arriving in the fall of 1994, Anderson was the top
assistant coach at the University of Northern Colorado. He joined
the Bears’ staff after four years as a head coach with the Northern
Colorado Lab School. From 1983 through 1986, Anderson was an
outfielder at UNC for College Hall of Fame Coach Tom Petroff.
Anderson was an eighth-round pick by the California Angels,
spending four seasons with the Angels organization. He earned a
bachelor’s degree in physical education from Northern Colorado in
1990.

•-NU has 119 come-from-behind wins under Mike Anderson since
2003. The Huskers already have five come-from-behind wins this
season, including overcoming a 10-run deficit against North Dakota
on March 30 and a three-run deficit against Northern Colorado on

out-hitting opponents. The Huskers are 16-6 with reaching double
figures in hits, but winless in 10 games with nine hits or

improvement. Under strength coaches Mike Arthur and Brandon Rigoni,
the 18 returnees from last year have gained a total of 203 pounds,
an average of 11.2 pounds per player. Of the 18 players, 11 are at

birthday with a three-hit
day on March 6. He has 16 multi-hit and 15 multi-RBI efforts,
including a stretch of nine straight multi-RBI games.
Bailey torched No. 20 Kansas State, hitting .364 with three
homers and six RBIs in the weekend series, including his second
career multi-homer game on April 9, as he drove in four runs in
NU’s 5-3 win. His performance against ranked teams should not be a
surprise, as he is hitting .365 with seven homers and 18 RBIs in 13
games against ranked teams in 2010.
He was named Big 12 Player of the Week on March 23, after
hitting .562 (9-for-16) with two homers and eight RBIs in four
games last week. Bailey went 7-for-11 with two homers, two doubles
and six RBIs in the three-game series at No. 2 Texas last week.
Against Northern Colorado on March 24, he had two hits in NU’s
10-run third inning, including his first career grand slam.

DJ Keeps Things Spinning at Top of the LineupDJ Belfonte gives
Nebraska a solid threat at the top of the
lineup. The senior is hitting .389 with five homers and 30 RBIs
in the leadoff spot. He ranks in the top 10 in the Big 12 in six
categories, including: hits (fourth. 49); triples (second, three);
total bases (fourth, 77); on-base percentage (fifth, .488); batting
average (seventh) and stolen bases (ninth, 10).
Belfonte, who was voted the best defensive outfielder by the
league coaches in Baseball America’s preseason issue, is one of two
Huskers (also Adam Bailey) to start all 33 games in 2010. Belfonte
is bidding to become the first Husker since former Major Leaguer
Ken Ramos to lead NU in stolen bases for three straight years.
While he is known for his speed and defense, Belfonte showed his
power earlier this season, belting two homers against South Dakota
State on March 16, the first two-homer game of his career. His five
homers this year already eclipses his career total prior to this
season. He matched his career best with four RBIs against Wichita
State on Tuesday and hit .364 (4-for-11) with an on-base percentage
of .533 against Kansas State last weekend.

Kiser is Second to NoneAfter seeing limited time behind eventual
MLB draftee Jeff
Tezak as a freshman last year, second baseman Kale Kiser has
been a pleasant surprise in 2010. Kiser comes into the week hitting
.368 with 36 runs scored, ranking third in the Big 12 in on-base
percentage (.512), fifth in runs scored and 13th in batting
average.
After Nebraska started the year with a 3-7 mark, Kiser was
bumped to second in the order and has played a key role in helping
NU to a 13-7 record since that start. He has reached safely in 26
of his 27 appearances, with the only exception when he came off the
bench at Fresno State on Feb. 20. Kiser has also shown his
toughness, playing through a split lip at Fresno State on Feb. 22
that required 16 stitches to sew up, but returned to the diamond in
time for the next practice.

Asche Has Been Burning UpOne of the overlooked hitters in the
Nebraska lineup is
sophomore third baseman Cody Asche. The O’Fallon, Mo., native
has been consistent for NU all season, hitting .310 with six homers
and 33 RBIs, ranking ninth in the Big 12 in homers and 10th in
RBIs.
He got off to a slow start, going hitless in his first 10
at-bats, but has been on a tear since then, hitting .343 since Feb.
21. He had a career-long 12-game hit streak and hit .500 (6-for-12)
with five RBIs at No. 12 Texas. Asche had a monster offensive week
for the Big Red from March 30-April 5, belting three homers and
driving in 13 runs in five games. He belted his first career grand
slam in Nebraska’s 11-10 win over North Dakota on March 30 and
followed up four days later with another grand slam at Oklahoma
State on April 3, matching his career high with five RBIs in NU’s
9-2 win. Asche saw his 10-game hit streak snapped against Wichita
State on Tuesday.
Infield Youth MovementNebraska has relied on a pair of freshmen
middle infielders
recently, as Bryan Peters and Chad Christensen have become the
Huskers’ primary double play duo.
Peters, who was slowed by an orbital bone fracture suffered
before practice began, has taken over the starting second baseman
job and is hitting .282 with 16 runs scored in 27 appearances. He
has also been hit by 12 pitches to rank second on the team and
fifth in the Big 12 in that category. After a slow start, Peters
has hit well of late, hitting .333 with 11 runs scored and four
stolen bases over his last 15 contests.
Christensen, who moved into the lineup on March 28 following
Kyle Bubak’s back injury, has been on a tear, hitting .465 with
four homers and 11 RBIs over his last 11 contests. He enjoyed a
10-game hit streak from March 28 until April 11, recording eight
multi-hit games in that strech. Christensen moved to the No. 4 spot
in NU’s lineup at K-State on April 11, and responded with his
second three-hit day of the year.
Casey of All TradesJunior right-hander Casey Hauptman has filled
nearly every
role on the Husker staff in 2010. While he is only 1-3, he leads
Nebraska in strikeouts (40) and is second in innings pitched
(46.1). After beginning the season in long relief, he moved into
the starter’s role for three weekends before taking over the
closer’s spot following Mike Nesseth’s season-ending injury.
Out of the bullpen, Hauptman has a 3.62 ERA in nine outings,
fanning 23 over 27.1 innings. He is 3-for-3 in save opportunities,
pitching the final 1.2 innings at No. 20 Kansas State on April 9.
In fact, all three of his saves have been at least 1.2 innings of
work. In the wake of Mike Nesseth’s injury, Hauptman is now NU’s
most experienced pitcher, making 43 appearances and striking out 97
over 127.2 career innings.
Lemke Sparkles In Debut CampaignFreshman right-hander Tom Lemke
has emerged as one
of the Big 12’s top pitching rookies this season. The 6-foot-8
right-hander is 4-3 with a 4.76 ERA in eight starts. He has allowed
two runs or less in five of his eight outings and picked up wins
over three NCAA Tournament teams from a year ago (Fresno State,
Elon, Oklahoma).
He was named Big 12 co-pitcher of the week on March 29,
following his three-hit shutout of No. 12 Oklahoma. Lemke fanned a
career-high eight hitters en route to holding the Sooners to their
lowest hit total of the year. It also marked the first time OU had
been shut out in the regular season since 2007. Lemke, a 10th round
pick of the Texas Rangers in last June’s MLB Draft, showed his
poise early on, becoming just the fourth Husker freshman to start
during the opening weekend of the season. He also became the first
Husker freshman in that time to earn the victory, tossing five
shutout innings at Fresno State.

Recruiting Class Ranked 13th NationallyNebraska’s class of
newcomers was recognized nationally,
as Collegiate Baseball rated the class No. 13 nationally in its
rankings. The rating is the highest ever for Nebraska in the
publication’s 27-year history of ranking recruiting classes
Nebraska’s recruiting class features four players who had been
drafted previously before coming to Nebraska, including pitchers
Ryan Hughes (16th round in 2008), Tom Lemke (10th round in 2009),
Kurt Giller (21st round in 2009) and Ryan Hander (38th round in
2009). Lemke was one of just 11 high school seniors selected in the
top 10 rounds who did not sign over the summer.
Eight Draftees on 2010 RosterNebraska’s 2010 roster boasts a
total of eight Huskers who
have been previously selected in the Major League Baseball
First-Year Player Draft. Five of the players were picked in last
year’s draft, including Mike Nesseth (15th) and Adam Bailey (38th)
who both elected to return for this season.

Nebraska Baseball 2010 Weekly Release #15 • Page 8 • April 15,
2010 • Huskers.com
Hawks Field at Haymarket ParkThe 2002 season marked the debut of
the Huskers’ new
home – Hawks Field at Haymarket Park. The field is named in
memory of Myrna Hawks, as the Hawks family was one of the major
benefactors in the Haymarket Park project.
In March of 2000, Howard and Myrna Hawks guaranteed the unfunded
portion of UNL’s $10.6 million commitment to the baseball/softball
complex, which enabled the University to move forward in a joint
venture with the City of Lincoln and NEBCO Inc., the owners of the
Lincoln Saltdogs in the Northern League. The University retained
the right to name the field and on Feb. 23, 2002, the University of
Nebraska Board of Regents approved the name of Hawks Field. It was
formally dedicated in pregame ceremonies against Kansas on April
28, 2002.
The ballpark includes 4,500 chair-back seats, 16 suites and a
Diamond View Lounge. Other highlights of the complex include a
1,400-square feet clubhouse for the Husker baseball program, a
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 2010, the Husker Home Run
Terrace was added, providing an additional 200 seats in right
field.
The baseball 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.
Hawks Field, as well as the adjacent Bowlin Stadium – the
2,500-seat softball stadium which opened in the fall of 2001 – are
both located inside Haymarket Park, a 32-acre complex that includes
both stadiums as well as the plaza area and 2,500 parking
stalls.

Like Mother, Like SonFreshman Josh Scheffert continues a family
tradition at
Nebraska, as his mother played softball for the Huskers for two
seasons (1979-80). Scheffert was off to a solid start, hitting .317
with three homers and 19 RBIs in his first 20 games before breaking
a bone in his left hand on a pitch on March 28. The injury was
originally expected to be season ending, but he missed just 10
games before making his return in a pinch-hitting role against
Wichita State on Tuesday night.
The Lincoln Southeast product - the same school as former
Natonal Player of the Year Alex Gordon - was second on the team in
both homers and RBIs and led NU in walks at the time of the injury.
He has six multi-RBI efforts, including a career-high four RBIs
against South Dakota State on March 16. He enjoyed an outstanding
debut at Fresno State on Feb. 21, by going 3-4 with three RBIs.
Ticket UpdateBecause of the weather-related postponements
this
season, two previous game tickets can be used for general
admission tickets to any remaining regular-season game at Hawks
Field. Those tickets are the following:
• South Dakota State (Game 1 on season-ticket sheets)• Houston
Baptist (Game 3)
Huskers From Around the NationThe 2010 Huskers come from 14
states across the nation.

Three Huskers Honored by Baseball AmericaA trio of Husker
players were recognized by Baseball
America in its college preview issue. Outfielder Adam Bailey was
the only Husker player on the publication’s preseason All-Big 12
team, as he hit .325 with 12 homers and 50 RBIs a year ago.
DJ Belfonte was recognized as the best defensive outfielder in
the Big 12 in Baseball America’s preseason issue. Belfonte, who has
played both center and right field in his Husker career, has a .982
career fielding percentage and has thrown out seven runners from
the outfield during his career.
Tom Lemke was the fifth-rated freshman in the Big 12 by Baseball
America after a dominant high school career. He went 25-9 with a
2.01 ERA in his career at Northwest Christian High School, striking
out 333 over 193.2 career innings. He is also No. 32 nationally
among all freshman by the publication.
Success in the ClassroomNU enjoyed a strong performance in the
classroom by
posting a team GPA of 3.112 during the fall semester. The team
GPA was the highest ever while tracking the program’s GPA over the
last 20 years and the second straight fall above a 3.0 GPA. A total
of 23 Huskers were named to the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll
for the fall semester.
Huskers Boast Experienced Coaching StaffOne of the Huskers’
strengths is an experienced coaching
staff. All three full-time coaches have served as head coaches
at the Division I level and combine for more than 1,200 career
wins. Anderson, who is in his eighth season, has 297 wins entering
this weekend’s series with Kansas. Dave Bingham won 837 games in
stints between Kansas and Emporia State, while Eric Newman won 95
wins in a three-year stint at Dallas Baptist.
Battling the Injury BugThe Huskers have been hit by the injury
bug recently, losing
a quartet of contributors for significant time. Offensively,
both Josh Scheffert (left hand) and Kyle Bubak (back) missed 10
games apiece because of injuries and both returned to action
against Wichita State on April 13.
On the mound, NU also lost a pair of major contributors in Mike
Nesseth and Kurt Giller. Nesseth, a 15th round draft pick last
spring, was 1-2 with a 6.43 ERA, but was pitching well at the time
of his injury, posting a 1.80 ERA in his previous seven outings.
Giller, a 21st round draft pick, had made eight appearances,
fanning 11 over 13.2 innings and earned a save against Fresno
State.
