Preview: Nebraska Cornhuskers at Michigan Wolverines

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (Interstat) — The Nebraska Cornhuskers will look to secure a series victory over the Michigan Wolverines on Sunday afternoon in the rubber match of their three-game Big Ten Conference set at Ray Fisher Stadium.

First pitch is scheduled for Sunday, March 22, 2026, under cloudy skies with temperatures around 45 degrees.

The series is tied after a split of the first two games. Michigan (11-10) edged Nebraska 2-1 on Friday afternoon before the Cornhuskers (17-6) responded with a dominant 10-0 shutout victory on Saturday.

Nebraska’s Saturday win was highlighted by a historic pitching performance from right-hander Carson Jasa. The junior threw six perfect innings, striking out eight without allowing a hit or a walk. Over his last three starts, Jasa has posted a 1.35 ERA with 27 strikeouts in 17 2/3 innings. Shortstop Dylan Carey, who went 3-for-3 with four RBIs in the rout, will also be a key figure in the lineup.

The Wolverines will seek to reignite an offense that was silenced on Saturday. A player to watch for Michigan is reliever Keegan O’Hearn, who provided a scoreless inning in Saturday’s loss and has not allowed an earned run in his last three appearances spanning three innings.

Nebraska enters with momentum, having won 10 of its last 11 games. Michigan has struggled for consistency, alternating wins and losses over its past six contests.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the projection favors Nebraska with an 8-5 final score.

Following Sunday’s contest, Nebraska will travel to face Kansas State on Tuesday. Michigan will host Oakland on Tuesday before a midweek game against Toledo.
