Trailing 4-0 in the bottom of the ninth inning, Nebraska fought back and soon was one swing away from an improbable comeback victory. Max Anderson's long fly ball to right field, however, came just a few feet short of clearing the fence, and Maryland secured a 4-2 win. The Terps advanced to Sunday's Big Ten Tournament championship game, and the loss ended the Huskers' season. Scroll down for photos of Saturday's game. | RECAP | BOX SCORE
