Scouting Nebraska
The Huskers (32-13, 5-4 Big 12) are riding a five-game win streak after sweeping No. 11 Texas last weekend in Lincoln ... in Saturday's contest, Ashley DeBuhr tossed 11 innings to pick up the win ... senior Jamie Waldecker had an 11th inning single to win the game ... the game-winning hit was Waldecker's second in as many games as she blasted a seventh inning homer to defeat Creighton last Thursday ... sophomore Meghan Mullin paces the Husker offense with a .338 batting average and 12 stolen bases ... the Husker pitching staff has been plagued by lack of scoring ... Molly Hill has a 0.99 ERA but a record of just 14-7 due to the lack of run support ... DeBuhr has posted a 16-6 record and a 1.32 ERA on the season ... opponents are hitting just .190 against the Husker staff, which ties for the league low ... in Big 12 play, the numbers are more impressive with opponents hitting just .167.
All-Time Series
The Huskers own a 64-18 edge in the all-time series ... the teams split last season, with both teams winning on their home fields.
Looking Back
ISU won its first Big 12 game of the season last weekend, taking a 3-0 win in Saturday's game against Texas Tech ... the Red Raiders took Sunday's game by a 5-0 margin ... Fallon Johnson and Katie Reichling both had two hits in each game against the Red Raiders ... in the win, Ashley Killeen drove in two runs and became the first player in Iowa State history to record 100 RBI in a career ... Amanda Bradberry drove in the Cyclones' other run ... Alyssa Ransom picked up her 43rd career win, tossing a two-hit shutout ... Ransom held the Red Raiders hitless through 4 2/3 innings in the winning effort ... on Sunday, ISU had seven hits but left eight runners on base ... Bradberry and Jessica Quade joined Reichling and Johnson with hits in the contest.
Next Up
The Cyclones and Huskers face off again on Thursday in Ames, with first pitch slated for 3:30 p.m. ... ISU will then play host to Baylor this weekend in a Big 12 series.
Cyclone Tidbits
Alex Johnson needs two more hits to move into a tie for fifth with Lori Young (55) in the single-season record books ... Johnson's 53 hits is the most since Erin Woods had 59 in 1999 ... catcher Ashley Killeen has now played in 197 career games, which is a school record ... Killeen has missed just one game in her career, which came this season ... Killeen has been hit by eight pitches this season, one shy of the school record held by Kelly Wardein (2004) ... Alyssa Ransom is on pace to become just the second Cyclone in school history to lead the team in strikeouts in three different seasons ... Courtney Dully (1994-98) led ISU all four years at the school ... Fallon Johnson leads the Cyclones with a .304 batting average in Big 12 play ... Johnson is hitting .333 in the last five games.
