The Huskers had a chance to jump ahead early, with runners on the corners and one out in the opening frame. NU attempted a double-steal, but both baserunners were thrown out to end the inning.

In the third inning, Nebraska again had two on with one out. That threat ended after a pickoff and a strikeout.

The Jayhawks posted two runs on an RBI single in the second inning. KU added insurance runs in each of the seventh and ninth innings.

Nebraska notched seven hits on the night but left seven runners stranded. Max Buettenback led the way with a pair of hits, including a double.

Kansas left six on base but had nine hits.
