3 3 OFFENSIVE COMPARISON: 2014 TO 2015 Nebraska set school records for home runs, total bases, extra-base hits, RBIs and slugging percentage in 2014, while also ranking second all-time in runs and doubles, third in on-base percentage and fourth in batting average. The Huskers lost their top three statistical hitters from the 2014 lineup, a group that included a pair of two-time All- Americans and Nebraska s only three all-region hitters. Despite the losses, the Husker offense is enjoying a better start to the season than last year s decorated group. Entering play this week, Nebraska ranks third in the Big Ten in average (.337), slugging percentage (.486), on-base percentage (.421) and runs per game (6.1). Nebraska is one of only three teams in the league hitting above.300, reaching base at a.400 clip or scoring more than six runs per game. Nebraska s batting average is.062 higher this season than it was through 19 games last season. The Huskers have scored 38 more runs through 19 games this season than they did a year ago, while averaging 2.0 more runs per game. The 2014 offense set a school record for RBIs. That offense produced 64 RBIs in its first 19 games, while this year s lineup has totaled 108 RBIs in its 19 games. The 2014 offense set a school record for extra-base hits. Nebraska had 33 extra-base hits through the first 19 games last season, while NU has 43 extra-base hits through the first 19 games this season. 19-GAME OFFENSIVE COMPARISON Category Average Runs Hits Doubles Triples 2 3 Home Runs Extra-Base Hits RBIs Slugging Pct On-Base Pct Walks TRANSFERS HIT WELL IN WICHITA Transfers Cassie McClure and Steph Pasquale paced Nebraska s offense at the Shocker Invitational in last weekend.

NU SCORING RUNS AT NEAR-RECORD RATE Nebraska has scored 116 runs in its first 19 games, plating its 100th run of the season in its 17th game at Wichita State last Saturday.
