LINCOLN, Neb. -- For the second straight day, the University of Michigan baseball team yielded five first-innings runs to Nebraska in a 5-1 defeat Saturday afternoon (March 21) at Hawks Field at Haymarket Park.

Three straight singles opened the first frame for the Huskers and were followed by a hit-by-pitch, walk and an RBI single from Austin Darby. Christian Cox drove in the final two runs with a single to right. Nebraska had five of its nine hits in the first inning.

The Wolverines got on the board in the top of the third. Senior Jackson Glines was hit by a pitch with one out and scored on sophomore Carmen Benedetti's double to the gap in left. Kyle Kubat kept Michigan off the scoreboard for the rest of the day. Kubat struck out nine and allowed six hits with two walks in 7.1 innings pitched.

Freshman Ryan Nutof gave up five runs in the first, then he settled down to pick up a career-high seven strikeouts in 5.2 innings. He gave up eight hits and walked a pair. Senior Donnie Eaton allowed just one hit in 2.1 innings of relief.

Senior Kyle Jusick had two hits, including a double, on the day.

The three-game series at Nebraska and the 22-game road trip end Sunday morning (March 22) at 11:05 a.m. at Hawks Field at Haymarket Park.
