LINCOLN, Neb. – Clutch hitting with two outs was the story of the weekend as Nebraska (22-6, 8-1 B1G) completed a sweep of the Indiana Baseball team (10-17, 3-9 B1G) with a 12-4 win on Sunday (March 29) afternoon at Haymarket Field. In all three games of the series, IU had the contest within one run but couldn't find an answer for the Huskers down the stretch. The Hoosiers have been swept in three of four true road series this year.

The Hoosiers opened the game on the right foot with a pair of runs in the first inning. An RBI double from sophomore outfielder Hogan Denny and an RBI single from Caleb Koskie put IU up 2-0 in the first inning. With the bases loaded and one out, IU had a chance to break the game open early. A pop out and a strikeout ended the best threat of the game with just two runs across.

Nebraska's offense jumped all over IU pitching on Sunday afternoon. Graduate student Gavin Seebold (L, 1-2) did his best to limit damage but was extended beyond his normal pitch count. He was eventually tagged for six runs (five earned) in 3.1 innings of action. Sophomore southpaw Brayton Thomas allowed two runs in 3.1 innings of work. It was the fourth time this season that IU gave up 15-or-more hits in a game.

A solo home run from freshman second baseman Landen Fry tied the game in the top of the sixth but the Huskers responded with nine unanswered runs in the next two innings. IU would scratch a fourth run across in the eighth inning but it would make no difference in the final outcome.

IU will return to action this week with a midweek game at Evansville (March 31). The month of April begins next weekend with a visit from Rutgers (April 3-5) at Bart Kaufman Field.
