Nebraska players took home two of the Big Ten's three weekly baseball awards, the conference announced Tuesday.
Junior left-hander Cade Povich was named the conference's pitcher of the week, while Max Anderson was named the league's pitcher of the week.
Povich retired the first 11 batters he faced in Nebraska's Friday night win over Northwestern, allowing just two hits in seven shutout innings. Of Northwestern's three baserunners in the game, Povich picked two of them off first base and stranded a leadoff double at second.
Anderson has four consecutive multi-hit games, and is 12-for-22 (.545) at the plate in those contests. He has at least one hit eight of Nebraska's last 10 games, and is hitting .395 since May 1.
Briefly
Nebraska will have the chance to make an impression on a national audience this weekend, with three of its four games at the Indiana pod scheduled for television.
The Huskers will appear on BTN twice — Friday night against Indiana (7 p.m.), and Sunday against Ohio State (noon). Nebraska's Saturday evening game against Indiana (5:30 p.m.) is set for ESPNU.
Nebraska will also take on Ohio State at noon Saturday, with that game slated for BTN+.
