LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) The focus for this weekend's Nebraska-Texas A&M baseball series shifts from the coaches in the dugout to the teams on the field. Former Nebraska pitching coach Rob Childress brings his first-place Aggies to Lincoln for the start of a three-game series tonight. It'll be Childress' first visit to Lincoln since 2006. That year, the Aggies lost three straight to the Huskers on their way to a last-place finish. Childress says he's happy this year's trip will be more than just a reunion with old friends. It's possibly the biggest series of the season for both teams. Childress and Nebraska coach Mike Anderson became close friends during their eight years together on Dave Van Horn's staff. Childress left for A&M three years ago. John Dorn starts for the Huskers tonight on the mound and he will try to hold down A&M who is one of the top hitting teams in the Big 12. First pitch tonight is set for 6:35pm.
