LINCOLN, Neb. (Nebraska Athletics) – Joe Acker’s two-run, seventh-inning single broke a 5-5 tie, as Nebraska rallied to remain in first place in the Big Ten with an 11-5 win over Northwestern Saturday afternoon.
The Huskers (25-11) trailed 5-2 heading into the bottom of the seventh, but erupted for nine runs over the final two frames as part of a 16-hit attack against the Wildcats (12-18). Nebraska’s first four hitters reached to open the seventh, including a run-scoring single by Luke Roskam and a RBI double from Max Anderson to chase Wildcat reliever Jack Pagliarini and make it a one-run game. Logan Foster then tied the game with a sacrifice fly.
