Nebraska pitching was shaky, but Minnesota’s pitching was shakier (you could insert other adjectives than versions of “shaky” here and they would be appropriate). Nebraska couldn’t capitalize and committed an error late in the game that directly led to two Gophers runs as Minnesota won in 12 innings, 9-8.
Game two of the series started out much like the first game. Nebraska got off to a good start, scoring two runs in the first inning as Max Anderson got a RBI single, scoring Garrett Anglim who had singled himself, then stole second. Colby Gomes, making the most of his return, scored Anderson on a fielding error.
