It was close early, but then it was not. The Nebraska Cornhuskers scored fourteen runs in the fourth and fifth innings combined and cruised to an 18-4 victory in an elimination contest on Sunday afternoon.

Schanaman worked around a two out error by Cam Chick at second to put up a zero on the scoreboard.
