Case Sanderson's Walk-Off Home Run Clinches the Series Against Michigan

Nebraska answered the next inning with a Hogan Helligso two-run homer down the left field line. The call went to review and was upheld, which Michigan head coach Tracy Smith did not agree with as he was then tossed from the game.

Keeping the home run party going, the Wolverines got a solo shot in the sixth to tie the game.

Tied 2-2 in the bottom of the ninth, Cael Frost got hit by the pitch and Gabe Swansen walked to bring Sanderson to the plate with one out. The first baseman launched the first pitch of the at-bat 423 field to right field to end the game and clinch the series.

On the mound, Ty Horn delivered a quality start. The sophomore allowed two runs on four hits over 6.0 innings. He walked a pair and struck out four.

Will Walsh and Luke Broderick combined to allow just one base runner over the final three innings.

Nebraska and Michigan will close out the weekend series Sunday at 11:30 a.m. CDT. The game will be streamed on B1G+.
