The Huskers kept a subpar offensive performance through 8 innings from spoiling a good start to the weekend. It was a strong effort from starting pitcher Drew Christo that kept Nebraska in it, and some spectacular work from the backend of the bullpen that allowed the comeback to even matter in the first place.
Nebraska got off to a quick start, just like it’s done quite often to start the season. Cayden Brumbaugh led the game off with a double, and just as you’d expect, Riley Silva bunted him over to third. Josh Caron, fresh off getting snubbed for Big Ten Player of the Week, smashed an RBI single into center field to give Nebraska a 1-0 lead.
