The Shockers travel to Lincoln for two games each with Nebraska and South Dakota State. Due to the threat of bad weather, the schedule has been altered. The Shocks now play Nebraska at 5 pm Thursday, and South Dakota State at 12 pm on Friday immediately followed by another game with the Huskers. Their final game of the weekend is with the Jackrabbits at noon on Saturday.
For some reason, these games are not a Classic Invitational. Or some such.
Nebraska, members of Big 10, have a record of 8-6, playing tournaments at Northern Iowa and New Mexico State and a three-game set with Kansas this past weekend. They have losses to Northern Iowa and South Dakota State and a win over future Shocker opponent Omaha. They took two of three from KU. They have not played a particularly challenging schedule, but the Huskers have not been the program they once were for several years now.
The offensive leaders for Nebraska are Billie Andrews (OPS of 1.501 and seven homers), Sydney Gray (1.404 and six homers), and Abbie Squier (1.191). Courtney Wallace (ERA of 4.23 and WHIP of 1.51) and Olivia Ferrell (3.27 and 1.36) have the vast majority of the innings for the Husker pitching.
South Dakota Sate are members of the Summit League where they are a preseason pick for first. They return the 2021 Summit Player of the Year in Cylie Halvorson and the Pitcher of the Year in Tori Kniesche. The current record for the Jackrabbits is 8-4 with tournaments at the UNI-Dome and in San Diego. They have win two wins over Northern Iowa and one against Nebraska. Their tournament at North Texas this past weekend was canceled, but they arranged a two-game series with Creighton where they shut them out twice and scored 26 runs. Ouch!
Offensive leaders for SDS are Allison Yoder (1.106), Rozelyn Carillo (1.070), and Lindsey Culver (.995). Halvorson is off to a rough start but does lead the team with four homers. In the circle, Kniesche (2.82 and 1.23) and Grace Glanzer (3.69 and 1.64) have most of the innings for the Jackrabbits.
The record for the Shockers is 9-4. Caitlin, Erin, Kenzie, and Alison have all started games. Their ERAs are 2.88 and above; their WHIPs are 1.26 and above. Figuring out what the conference rotation might look like appears to still be a work-in-progress. One would think Caitlin, Erin, and Alison are the most likely.
Leaders on offense are Addison (1.533 and eight homers), Sydney (1.487 and four homers), and Zoe (1.136 and a team-leading six doubles). Bailey and Neleigh are not far behind.
