Huskers win season finale at Illinois

Keenan Watson's first career hit was a big one, and the Huskers rallied twice Saturday to defeat the Illini 11-8 on the last day of the regular season in Champaign, Illinois.

Watson, a freshman making just his third start of the season, blasted a 1-0 pitch over the right-field wall for a three-run homer and a 10-7 Nebraska lead in the top of the seventh inning.
