Just like everyone expected coming in to the game between two of the better offenses in the Big Ten, we were greeted with a pitchers duel between two aces for the early part of the game. Jace Kaminska for Nebraska and NIck Dean for Maryland both used the cavernous outfield with the wind blowing in to their advantage against the aggressive offenses.
Both teams got runners on base in the first, looking like we would be in for the offensive show we were promised. Nebraska had 2 on, Maryland loaded the bases, but each pitcher recorded a huge strikeout to end the inning.
