On yet another windy weekend afternoon at Hawks Field at Haymarket Park, the Huskers found themselves in a surprisingly big game against the Golden Gophers. After losing 9-7 in the 9th inning on Friday and rolling to an 18-0 blowout Saturday, Nebraska needed a series win before traveling to first place Maryland next weekend.
The game was close early, as Husker starting pitcher Will Walsh was allowing baserunners, but keeping the Gopher offense at bay. Nebraska on the other hand, took advantage of multiple Minnesota errors to gain their first run in the bottom of the first. An overthrow of first base allowed Max Anderson to not only reach base safely, but get second base as well.
