The Nebraska baseball team took out the Baylor Bears on Saturday afternoon 2-0, meaning that they have won their first series of the season since they took two of three from lowly UC Riverside. The big difference is that this win was against the 21st ranked team in the country.

Pitching has been huge
Following on a masterful performance on Friday from Matt Waldron, Nate Fisher almost had himself a combo-not hitter. He finished the game with eight innings pitched, no hits, one walk and six strikeouts. The pen couldn't close out the no-hitter but it was still an incredible outing for the Huskers.

Colby Gomes keeps being invaluable
There are few impact freshmen in the country the way Colby Gomes has been an impact so far this season. On Saturday, he went 2-4 at the plate, then came in to close out the game and get his second save of the season.
A couple things to watch for Nebraska-Baylor Game 2:

> LH Nate Fisher is the only Husker to start each weekend. Five quality innings would put NU in great shape.
> Colby Gomes was robbed of two homers Friday. Can the frosh continue to force his way into the lineup?
