LINCOLN, Neb. — Omaha Baseball fell to Nebraska, 8-5, on Tuesday in an in-state matchup.
The Mavericks (4-7) jumped out to an early lead in the top of the first inning when Tyler Bishop launched a two-run home run to right-center, scoring Jackson Trout and giving Omaha a 2-0 advantage.
Nebraska (6-5) answered with a six-run bottom of the first to seize control. The Huskers then extended the lead in the second to push the margin to 8-2.
Omaha chipped away late. Nick Riggs drove in a run with a single to center in the sixth before Henry Zipay added an RBI single in the seventh to score Edoardo Cornelli.
Riggs collected his second RBI of the day with a single to right in the ninth making it a three run game, but Nebraska pulled off the win.
On the mound, Brayden Curtis provided a steady outing, allowing one run on two hits over two innings while striking out two.Â
Cole Kenyon and Tanner Hosick each tossed a scoreless inning with two strikeouts apiece, and Drew Iverson recorded the final two outs without allowing a run.
