East Lansing, Mich. –
Cade Povich tossed 7.0 shutout innings and improved to 4-1 on the year, as the Nebraska baseball team (19-6) reeled off its fifth consecutive win with a 4-0 series-opening victory over the Michigan State Spartans (11-16) on Friday at McLane Stadium. Nebraska’s offense made the most of its seven hits, scoring a pair of runs in both the fourth and fifth innings.
Povich matched a career-high with 7.0 innings of work and allowed just four hits, while striking out five. Left-hander
Jake Bunz continued to be lights out in relief, as the Elkhorn South product allowed just one hit and struck out three in 2.0 innings of scoreless relief behind Povich. In his 10.2 innings of work out of the bullpen this season Bunz has yet to allow a run.
