One completely sideways inning, and a couple gifted insurance runs were the difference tonight between a Husker victory instead of what ended up being Maryland’s 8th straight win. A mysterious zone early on, and some amazing defensive plays, kept the offense on its heels in what should have been a favorable matchup with the opposing pitching staff and the small ballpark the Terps call home.
Nebraska got the lead early, in the top of the first inning. Casey Burnham hit a double to right center, in what would be his only hit of the game despite him having maybe his best game of the year swinging the bat.
