Nebraska Baseball Clinches Spot In Big Ten Tournament, Defeats Michigan State 5-2

Huskers three run sixth the difference

After falling to Michigan State Friday night, Nebraska bounced back and took game two of the series Saturday by a score of 3-2. The Huskers gifted the Spartans two unearned runs, before a three run sixth put them ahead.

After a quiet start for both teams in the first, the Huskers had the games first big chance in the second. Nebraska loaded the bases after singles from Ben Miller, Luke Roskam, and Luis Alvarado with no one out. Jesse Wilkening hit a ball to third baseman Marty Bechina who stepped on the bag, fired to Dan Durkin at second who relayed to Zack McGuire for the triple play.

McGuire and the Spartans would plate a run in the third. McGuire reached on an error by Roskam, and then made it to second when Derek Burkamper fielded a groundball and choose to throw to Miller at first instead of getting the lead runner. A two out single from Bryce Kelley made the Huskers pay.
