Indiana got much-needed production from its offense for the first time in several games and Baragar, Belcher, and Kelzer combined to shutdown the red hot Huskers and make them the first team to be eliminated from the conference tournament.
At long last, after five games and eight days of stagnant offense, the Indiana bats finally came to life late in Thursday's elimination game against Nebraska, producing more runs than the club had scored in any game in three weeks. And behind nine quality innings of pitching, it was more than enough to keep the season alive for at least one more day.
