San Diego – Behind three home runs and an impressive relief outing from freshman Matt Waldron, the Nebraska baseball team (2-4) ended its trip to the inaugural Tony Gwynn Classic with its first win over a ranked team in 2016, as the Huskers downed #20 Tulane by a score of 11-5.
The Husker offense pounded out 11 hits, including seven extra-base hits. Jake Placzek, Ben Miller and Jake Meyers all notched home runs, with Meyers’ an inside-the-park homer. It was the first inside-the-park home run by a Husker since Cory Burleson recorded one at Hawks Field in 2012 against Louisiana Tech.
