Piscataway, N.J. – One out away from taking the series opener at Rutgers (22-20, 6-7 Big Ten) on Friday afternoon, the Nebraska baseball team (26-16, 7-6 Big Ten) was able to complete the victory, as a single by Christian Campbell and a throwing error plated two runs, resulting in a 3-2 walk-off win for the Scarlet Knights.
All three Rutgers runs on the afternoon were unearned. Nebraska hadn’t lost a game without giving up an earned run since the 2014 NCAA Tournament, when it lost to Cal State Fullerton, 4-3. Nebraska had won 73 straight games when leading after the eighth inning, with the last loss coming in a walk-off fashion at Iowa in 2014.
