Save for one half-inning, this is what Darin Erstad wants his Nebraska baseball team to look like.

The Huskers scored in each of the first five innings, chased Minnesota starter Nick Lackney in the top of the fourth, and played solid defense behind Matt Waldron's quality start to even their Big Ten series against the Gophers at one game apiece with an 8-2 win Saturday at Haymarket Park.

After waiting out an hour-long delay thanks to an obscure Big Ten rule regarding cold weather, the Huskers (13-10, 1-1 Big Ten) got a pair of home runs from Scott Schreiber to stake an early lead and let Waldron bring it home from there.
