Lincoln – The Nebraska baseball team (31-12) capped the 2021 regular season on Saturday with a doubleheader spit against the Michigan Wolverines (27-17) in front of a season-high crowd of 7,650. The Wolverines took game one, 2-0, and then the Huskers responded with a 5-3 victory to take the weekend series, as NU took the opener on Friday, 1-0. Michigan entered the weekend with a Big Ten-high 300 runs on the season in 41, an average of 7.3 runs per game.
