Nebraska baseball took a hit in the latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, dropping to No. 24 after a challenging weekend on the road.

The Huskers were swept by Ohio State in Columbus, marking their first series sweep of the season. It was a tough outing at the plate, with Nebraska managing just five runs over the three-game series while being outscored 19-5. The struggles have made their path to an NCAA regional berth steeper, though it remains within reach.

Despite the recent setback, the Huskers have put together a strong season overall, sitting at 34-14 and 17-7 in Big Ten play. They'll look to regroup in the comforts of home as they host Iowa in the final regular-season series. This matchup offers a prime opportunity to regain momentum before postseason action begins.
