What: Iowa State Cyclones vs. Nebraska Cornhsukers – Doubleheaders

When: Noon Saturday and Sunday

Where: Cap Timm Field

Admission is free

Trevor Ennenga likes what he sees right now. From the ISU Baseball

Club’s perspective, he probably has the best view as the catcher

watched as left-hander Bryan Junge and right-hander Andrew Schmid

threw back to back complete games against South Dakota last weekend.

Both pitchers will take the hill as the Cyclones (2-5, 2-6) play host

to the reigning Central Plains Conference champion Nebraska (1-2, 7-2)

at Cap Timm Field this weekend.

“I’m excited to see what can happen,” Ennenga said. “I thought we had

a good chance to beat them last year . going into this, but it should

be fun.”

Junge and Schmid, who will open the four game series with Nebraska on

Saturday, combined for 14 innings of work on the mound and allowed

only two earned runs while salvaging an April 14 split with the

Coyotes.

“Their control was great for how early in the season we are with all

the cancellations,” Ennenga said.

The rest of the pitching staff will have to be in control as well as

the Cyclones will look to end a five-game losing streak and earn some

revenge against a Nebraska team that swept Iowa State in all four

games they played against them last season.

In order for that to

happen, the Cyclones will need to issue less walks. In their game two

matchup with Northern Iowa on Wednesday, Iowa State hit seven batters

and walked another four.

“The whole flow of the game sucks when we’re walking a ton of people

and innings are taking awhile,” said club president and second basemen

Bryan Scholar. “It’s just good to get in and out of the dugout.”

Even with Veishea celebrations taking place, Scholar hopes for a large

crowd for Iowa State’s biggest series of the season.

“It would be nice if we had a decent crowd,” he said. “Nebraska is a good team.”

As for Ennenga, he hopes to be able to enjoy the sight of another

strong pitching performance.

“These guys have an idea of what kind of pitches they want to throw in

what situation,” Ennenga said. “I’m kind of just trying to keep the

ball in front of me.”
