Nebraska Baseball Upsets Top-Seeded Oregon, Advances in Big Ten Tournament
Omaha, NE – The Nebraska Cornhuskers have kept their postseason hopes alive by stunning top-seeded Oregon with a decisive 7-3 victory in the Big Ten Tournament on Saturday morning at Charles Schwab Field. This win brings Nebraska’s record to 30-27, while Oregon, now 41-14, awaits its future in the NCAA Tournament after the Selection Show on Monday.
The game showcased solid pitching from Nebraska’s Jackson Brockett and Will Walsh, who effectively limited Oregon’s offense to three runs and 12 hits, along with six strikeouts and three walks. Nebraska’s offense capitalized on a shaky day for Oregon’s ace, Garyson Grinsell, who was removed after just four innings after allowing six runs.
The Ducks’ struggles were compounded by defensive errors, as they committed four miscues that allowed the Huskers to maintain momentum and build an early lead. Nebraska’s lineup produced 11 hits, highlighted by a standout performance from Riley Silva, who went 3-for-4. Both Gabe Swansen and Case Sanderson contributed significantly, driving in two runs each.
With this victory, Nebraska has advanced to the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament, where they will face ninth-seeded Penn State at 5 p.m. CDT. The game will be available for viewing on the Big Ten Network.
