It’s been another disappointing season for the Minnesota Gophers baseball team in 2022, but they had arguably their best weekend of the season this past weekend taking two of three games from the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Siebert Field and winning their first Big Ten series since May of 2019.
The Gophers looked like their typical selves in Friday’s 12-5 loss. Sam Ireland got the start for the Gophers but only went 3.2 innings, striking out five but giving up nine hits and six earned runs. The Gophers gave up a pair of runs in the top of the first but battles back to take a 3-2 lead after two innings on a pair of singles, a walk, a hit batter and a pair of sac flies.
