It was not pretty, but it still counts as a victory for the Huskers. Nebraska had just one hit on the scoreboard until the eighth inning as Rorik Maltrud pitched an outstanding game for New Mexico State.
Nebraska started freshman Drew Christo and he did not make it out of the first inning. He walked three Aggies, threw a wild pitch, and gave up a hit to start his first career game. Luckily for Nebraska, a double play prevented any runs from scoring in the first.
Jackson Brockett, another freshman got the second inning after the Huskers went down scoreless in the first.
