Nebraska baseball knocks off Holy Cross 4-1 to advance to the second elimination game
Nebraska baseball knocks off Holy Cross 4-1 to advance to the second elimination game The Huskers (33-28) entered do-or-die mode on Saturday morning against Holy Cross (31-27) in the elimination round of the Chapel Hill Regional. Nebraska survived the day, taking down the Crusaders 4-1 to advance to Sunday. Holy Cross initially took the lead in the fifth inning following a scoreless opening stretch by both teams. Nebraska wasted no time responding, scoring two runs on its third batter in the bottom of the fifth. Cayden Brumbaugh slammed a two-run home run in the fifth to give the Huskers the lead and finished the day going 2-for-4 at the plate. Nebraska then started the bottom of the seventh by adding another home run, this one a solo shot from Hogan Helligso. Helligso then chipped in an RBI single in the eighth, finishing 2-for-3 with two RBIs on the day. Devin Nunez led the Huskers at the plate, going a career-best 4-for-4 with two doubles. Max Buettenback and Rhett Stokes each earned one hit apiece. Ty Horn (4-4) started at the mound for Nebraska and allowed one run across 7.1 innings. Horn struck out six batters on the day and surrendered five hits and one walk. Luke Broderick collected his 13th save of the season after tossing the final 1.2 innings, tying for third-most in a season by a Nebraska reliever. He is also the first Husker with 13 saves in a season since Colby Gomes in 2019. Broderick shut out Holy Cross in his stretch, allowing only one walk. Nebraska faces Oklahoma once again on Sunday morning in the second elimination game. The first pitch is set at 11 a.m. (CT) on ESPN+.
