Pitching struggles have become an apparent thorn in Northwestern’s side as the season has started. Saturday’s contest against Nebraska was no different as the Wildcats (10-15, 0-3 Big Ten) allowed the Cornhuskers (20-5, 3-0 Big Ten) to plate seven runs in the second inning en route to a 9-5 defeat.
For NU, freshman outfielder Jackson Freeman hit two doubles, adding two runs batted in. The game was the second of three in the weekend series; Nebraska swept the ’Cats this weekend.
