About this episode

The episode features an interview with Nebraska closer J'Shawn Unger discussing his role and the upcoming series against USC.

Nebraska baseball faces another big conference series this weekend in Lincoln as No. 12 USC comes to Lincoln for the first time in program history. In the first segment, we discuss a shuffle in Nebraska’s weekend pitching rotation that will send Cooper Katskee to the mound on Friday. What are the reasons behind the move and how can it help Nebraska in the back half of its conference slate? In the second segment, Nebraska closer J’Shawn Unger joins to talk about his emergence as the team’s closer this year and how things began to take off for him last summer in Oregon. In the final segment, Shotgun Spratling of D1Baseball joins to preview USC’s elite pitching staff and what the Trojans will bring into the weekend’s matchup and why there is significant momentum around the program this season.
