Nebraska first baseman Luke Roskam (25) catches a pop up from Arkansas' Jalen Battles to give the Cornhuskers a 5-3 victory over the Razorbacks on Sunday, June 6, 2021, in Fayetteville.

FAYETTEVILLE — Spencer Schwellenbach showed the University of Arkansas late Sunday why he was chosen as the Big Ten player of the year.

The two-way star played a key role in the middle of No. 19 Nebraska’s go-ahead fifth inning and he tamed the No. 1 Arkansas lineup with 4 2/3 shutout innings to lead the Cornhuskers to a 5-3 win before a crowd of 11,084 at Baum-Walker Stadium.
