Tyler Stone and Cael Frost delivered Nebraska's other two home runs, each serving up two-run shots. Rhett Stokes brought in an RBI off his lone single in the fourth.
Will Walsh (3-4) pitched 6.0 innings for Nebraska, firing two strikeouts while allowing three runs off five hits. Drew Christo took over for the final 3.0 innings, earning his first save of the season. He shut down Oregon State throwing two strikeouts and allowing no hits and no runs.
