The team recorded nine hits, but left seven players on base and only brought a runner home in the first and final frames. The Chippewas went on to score eight straight runs to put the game out of reach.

Michigan finished its season with a 27-19 overall record and entered the postseason for the third time in four years.

Nebraska 1, Arkansas 5

The top team in the Big Ten suffered its first postseason loss of the year at the hands of the No. 1 team in the nation. Nebraska lost in the second round of the NCAA Tournament 5-1 to Arkansas.

The two teams were evenly matched in hits as each recorded five in the game. But the Razorbacks reached first base 10 times on walks, which tied the most the Cornhuskers had given up all season. Three of Arkansas' five scorers reached base on a walk.

The loss brings Nebraska to 32-13 on the season and drops the team to the loser's bracket to play the New Jersey Institute of Technology on Sunday. The Cornhuskers face elimination, just like the Terrapins. 

Win or go 🏡.
