Nebraska Baseball ended a long home stand by facing a team in North Dakota State that had yet to even play a game at home. They turned to senior Dawson McCarville, who missed his start on Sunday, after contracting an illness between Friday and Saturday. McCarville had reportedly lost 12 lbs over the weekend, but was not given a pitch count on Wednesday, and just allowed to go until he lost his stuff.
The first inning saw a pair of unconventional double plays by each team. After NDSU missed a home run by less than a foot, the next batter hit a hard line drive off the glove of Husker first baseman Jack Steil and into the glove of Brice Matthews who quickly threw out the runner at 2nd.
