Missouri |
The Tigers managed to squeeze past Alabama a couple of times in order to win the series. | 17 |

Maryland | A gem by Jake Drossner wasn’t enough for the Terps to quite get a sweep over Cal State Fullerton. | 19 |
| 20 |  |
Iowa |
At 10-2, Iowa is just one game back on Illinois in the loss column and series win over Nebraska would help. | 23 |
| 21 |  |
Texas Tech |
The Red Raiders have a big series this weekend against OSU. A series win and they are right in the title race. | 22 |
| 22 |  |
Charleston |
