The Nebraska Cornhuskers baseball team was red hot just six days ago. One week later, Will Bolt's boys have lost four of their last five and three of their last four conference games.

The 6-4 loss on Sunday afternoon meant several things for the Nebraska baseball team. The first is that they lost the chance to move into a tie for first place in the Big Ten with Illinois.

The Illini are playing a non-conference opponent this weekend so the Huskers had a chance to make up some ground and show that they're still the big power of the Big Ten. However, the climb to the first is going to get more difficult from here one out.

The loss also squandered what appeared to be a recapturing of momentum after a tough week that will almost surely see the the Cornhuskers drop out of the Top 25. On Friday, NU blew a three-run lead and then lose in extra innings.

On Saturday they posted a 16-1 win. Everything fixed right? Nebraska Cornhuskers baseball about to go on a run right? Apparently not yet.

The loss has plenty of Husker fans a bit worried about what comes next and many of them voiced that concern on social media.

Some fans just want people to calm down and realize the Huskers' season is still going very well.

Some fans are making fun of people who always talk about firing a coach after a loss. Even in a season that saw the team already win 22 games.

Some are just wanting to move on and focus on the next game, which is going to be a doozy.

Some opposing fans are taking a bit of joy in the Nebraska Cornhuskers having a rough patch these days.

Some simply aren't having any fun.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have now fallen to fourth in the Big Ten.

Rutgers fans are pointing out they tend to have success against the Huskers.

Some just believe NU isn't built for success.

The prevailing theory among most on social media is that the Nebraska Cornhuskers baseball team has some "prove it" baseball to play in the next few weeks. With 8 straight home games on the schedule, wins need to come in bunches.
