The Game

The Carson Jasa experience brought it all on Saturday. He induced double plays, struck out Spartans, sent a pickoff throw into right field, struck out more Spartans, and ultimately hung several zeroes on the scoreboard.

Michigan State broke through against the 6-foot-7 righty in the fourth inning. A single, a double, and a walk were bookended by strikeouts. Another walk pushed the game's first run across before Jasa notched another K.

Nebraska answered the bottom half. After back-to-back outs to start, Jett Buck smacked a double to center field. He was brought home on a single through the left side by Will Jesske.

Despite a single and a wild pitch, Jasa worked a clean fifth inning, finishing with 97 pitches.

In the bottom of the fifth, Mac Moyer hit a double to left field. The next hitter, Joshua Overbeek, put the ball in play and got on with an error by the first baseman, scoring Moyer. Although a pair of walks would load the bases, the Huskers didn't add more runs in the frame.

Ryan Harrahill, Caleb Clark, and Cooper Katskee combined to pitch the final 4.0 innings, keeping the Spartans off the board the rest of the way.

Nebraska, meanwhile, added one more run. With two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, Buck lifted a solo home run to left field.

The Stats

Four Husker pitchers combined to allow one run on six hits, walking eight and striking out 14.

Jasa got the win for his 5.0 innings of work, where he walked six and struck out nine. Katskee got his first save of the season, allowing just one base runner over the final two innings.
