The other half of the best pitching duo in the Big Ten Conference took the mound for Nebraska today, looking to put Nebraska one-step closer to winning the B1G regular season title. Mason McConnaughey has come into his own the past few weeks and was set face off against a desperate Spartan team trying to get to Omaha next week.
McConnaughey would have no easy task, facing an offensive lineup that had seven hits last night and walked away frustrated they didn’t get hits when they needed them the most. He also faced off against Sparty’s best pitcher, tall, lanky, lefty Joseph Dzierwa.
