Nebraska baseball has struggled to find consistency this season. But on Sunday, the bats came alive in a big way on the road.
Facing Indiana in the finale of a weekend series, the Huskers shook off losses in the first two games to salvage a win with a big offensive output. Nebraska finished with 4 home runs as the Huskers piled up 19 runs on 20 hits in a 19-7 win vs. the Hoosiers.
Nebraska started to separate with 5 runs in the top of the 6th inning to take a 13-5 lead entering the 7th inning. That is when Brice Matthews put an exclamation point on the afternoon.
Leading off the 7th, Matthews took a 1-0 pitch deep out of left field for a mammoth solo shot. The tale of the tape listed Matthews’ HR at 450 feet with an exit velocity of 107 MPH off the bat.
