The Nebraska baseball team (20-8) gave up seven runs in the final two innings to lose game one to Rutgers (15-13) 9-4. The Huskers will have to win the following two games in the series to keep the series win streak alive.
The NU offense got out to a quick start in this game once again, but they didn’t do as much damage as they would have hoped. In the first inning, a leadoff walk followed by a bunt single and a throwing error put the Big Red up early. Three straight ground balls to the infield ended up in Nebraska not scoring a runner from third and leading by a slim 1-0 margin.
