NU won the weekend series 2-1.

Michigan never trailed on the day, getting a solo home run in the second inning. Nebraska answered a few innings later with a Joshua Overbeek RBI single to tie the game.

But the Wolverines utilized a bases-loaded bunt to regain the lead in the eighth and stretch it to 3-1 with another solo homer in the ninth.

Jackson Brockett pitched 5.1 innings, allowing one run on two hits with three strikeouts and a walk. Drew Christo dropped to 1-2 on the season after surrendering a run on three hits with a pair of punchouts and a walk in 2.2 innings of work.

Luke Broderick allowed a solo homer and recorded an out, before Grant Cleavinger tallied the final two outs for the NU bullpen.

At the plate, the Huskers notched seven hits to six for the Wolverines. Overbeek led all hitters on the day with three hits.

Nebraska will close out the regular season with a road series at Purdue. All three games will be streamed on B1G+, with Thursday's series-opener set for a 5 p.m. CDT first pitch.
