The first midweek game that Nebraska baseball was able to get in was a dominant effort from the Big Red.

Nebraska rolled Wichita State 10-1 Tuesday at Hawks Field at Haymarket Park. The Huskers improve to 6-10 on the year while the Shockers fall to 6-8.

Carson Jasa was a force on the mound, striking out eight over 5.0 innings. He didn't allow a run on the two hits and a walk.

Nebraska put the pressure on early, loading the bases in the bottom of the first inning. Cael Frost got the scoring started with an RBI fielder's choice.

Three more runs came in the fifth inning as the Huskers took advantage of two Shocker errors. Leaving no doubt, Nebraska added one more run in the seventh and five in the eighth.

The only run for Wichita State came came on a solo home run in the sixth inning.
