Bloomington, Ind. – The Nebraska baseball team (14-10-1, 1-0 Big Ten) opened Big Ten play at Bart Kaufman Field on Friday night with a 7-3 win over the Indiana Hoosiers (14-10, 3-1 Big Ten), who dropped its first league game of the year after sweeping Northwestern last season.
Nebraska out-hit the Hoosiers, 11-10, with four Huskers producing multiple hits. With only four home runs through the first 23 games of the season, the Huskers recorded their first multi-home run game of the year with Ben Miller and Luis Alvarado each hitting long balls. Miller’s solo shot in the fourth tied the game, while Alvarado’s three-run shot in the eighth extended NU’s lead from 4-3 to 7-3.
