Michigan State struck first with a run in the top of the first, but Nebraska responded with one of their own in the bottom of the inning. Defensive struggles from the Huskers gave the Spartans a 4-1 lead. The Huskers climbed back with two runs in the sixth after a two run single from Case Sanderson. Luke Broderick pitched 3.1 scoreless innings to give the Huskers a chance in the ninth. Then a drop by the Spartans' right fielder allowed Joshua Overbeek to score Robby Bolin and tie the game at four. Dylan Carey led off the tenth with a single before Robby Bolin sent a two-out single into center field for the win. The Huskers will play top seeded Oregon at 6 p.m. Friday
