FINAL
Nebraska 6
Maryland 3
Huskers (24-11, 7-3 Big Ten) gets back on the winning track in Game 1 of a "get-right series" against Maryland (24-15, 5-8). Nebraska ace Brett Sears (7-0) does it again to keep his perfect record intact, and Jalen Worthley pitched two perfect innings in the 8th and 9th (including 3 Ks) to pick up the save.
Sears' final line: 7 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 8 K on 98 pitches
>>> He allowed a solo HR in the 3rd inning and had a shaky 4th with three singles and a double allowed as the Terps combined to score three runs in those two frames. Beyond the 4th, Sears allowed three harmless singles and two walks across six innings. He retired the first 8 batters of the game and pitched three 1-2-3 frames.
Top performers at the plate:
>> Cayden Brumbaugh (3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored)
>> Ben Columbus (3-for-3 with a solo HR and one walk)
>> Josh Overbeek (solo HR)
Nebraska took a 2-1 lead in the 3rd inning. After Maryland hit a solo HR in the top half, Overbeek followed by leading off the bottom half with his own solo shot. Brumbaugh later scored on a balk to take the lead.
Maryland then took a 3-2 lead in the top of the 4th on the back of three singles and a double. But Columbus hit a leadoff solo HR of his own, Brumbaugh roped a two-run double and then scored on Cole Evans' RBI double as the Huskers took a 6-3 lead.
Sears and Worthley allowed just one combined hit (a single) and fired four strikeouts across three shutout innings in the 7th, 8th and 9th.
Game 2:
