A massive weekend that could turn out to be a luanching point for Will Bolt's squad.

Nebraska baseball beat No. 5 Oregon State Sunday at Haymarket Park, 16-7. The Huskers fall to 12-15 on the year while the Beavers improve to 20-6.

The game ended after just eight innings due to travel time for the visitors.

This win gives NU the weekend series, 2-1. The Huskers had not won a top-10 weekend series since 2011 against No. 5 UCLA.
