It looked ugly. Luis Alvarado gave up a grand slam in the first inning, and did not make it out of the second. Slowly though, after falling behind 8-1, Nebraska chipped away and gained ground in the Big Ten standings, in their race to qualify for the Big Ten Tournament with a 17-8 win.
Alvarado was not good at all. He gave up six walks, and three hits while allowing six runs. Zach Jankarski hit a grand slam in the first inning to put Maryland up 4-0. After Scott Schreiber homered to get a run back in the first, Maryland put up another four runs in the second.
