Big Ten Baseball Standings, Schedule, Results

Nebraska has already wrapped up the Big Ten regular season title, but there's still plenty to prove for several teams on the final weekend of the regular season, with the league's top four teams squaring off.

Updated Sunday, May 30, 7 p.m. ET

We've reached the final weekend of the Big Ten baseball regular season, and we were blessed to have weekend series that are involving the league's four best teams.

In Lincoln, regular season champion Nebraska hosted Michigan, and the series started out with a pitcher's duel between the Cornhuskers' Cade Povich and Michigan's Steve Hajjar. Nebraska won 1-0, with Povich allowing just four hits over seven innings. It continued on Saturday, when the two teams split a doubleheader ahead of some weather to end the season. 

Indiana and Maryland were rained out on Friday in College Park, and played a doubleheader on Saturday, with Maryland winning both games and dashing Indiana's NCAA Tournament hopes. Maryland, along with Nebraska and Michigan, now seem like NCAA locks. Indiana, after losing six of seven down the stretch to the best teams in the league, may now be on the outside looking in.

Here are the final Big Ten standings.
