Early miscues doom Nebraska baseball team
LINCOLN, Neb. (Nebraska Athletics) – A dropped flyball and a misplayed pop-up led to five unearned runs in the first inning, as the Huskers fell 9-5 at Creighton on Tuesday night at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha.
Nebraska (27-15) totaled five runs on nine hits with an error, while Creighton (31-11) tallied nine runs on 13 hits.
Josh Caron finished 2-for-4 with a double and RBI, while Cody Bradford and Rhett Stokes each launched solo home runs. Riley Silva and Joshua Overbeek both tallied hits, while Cole Evans drove in the other Husker run.
Ty Horn made his fourth start of the season, lasting just 0.2 innings and surrendering six runs, one earned, on six hits. Caleb Clark tossed three scoreless innings, retiring nine of 11 batters faced with a trio of strikeouts. Drew Christo hurled a shutout inning, while Jalen Worthley and Kyle Froehlich combined to allow three earned runs. Casey Daiss punched out both his batters faced.
Nebraska struck first after Silva sent a one-out double to left field and advanced to third on a groundout from Tyler Stone. In the cleanup spot, Caron drove in Silva on a two-bagger to centerfield to put the Huskers up 1-0 and give the backstop his 45th RBI of the season.
The Bluejays answered with six runs in the bottom of the first inning, beginning with a solo home run from Nolan Sailors. Following a fielding error in left, Creighton rattled off five straight hits, including a double and triple, to grab a 6-1 advantage.
After recording the final out in the first frame, Clark entered and tossed a scoreless second and third inning to keep Creighton off the board.
NU’s offense broke through with a pair of solo bombs in the fourth frame, as Bradford began with a long ball to centerfield, before Stokes followed his lead with a homer to left field, cutting the deficit to 6-3.
Olsen and Christo combined to blank Creighton across the fourth and fifth innings, but the Bluejays struck for a pair of runs in the sixth frame off Worthley. A Sailors single set up a two-run blast from Ty Deters to extend the CU lead to 8-3.
In the seventh inning, Overbeek began the inning with a single and moved into scoring position after Silva’s groundout. The groundout paved the way for an RBI single from Stone to bring the Huskers within four.
Caron continued NU’s momentum on offense with a single to put runners on first and second base, before Evans’ single through the left side plated Stone and trimmed the lead to 8-5.
Creighton continued to respond, adding a run back in the seventh inning with a Matt Scherrman home run off Froehlich to push their advantage back to four runs.
NU got two runners on in the ninth inning, but was unable to capitalize as the Bluejays clinched a four-run victory over the Huskers.
Nebraska returns home for a midweek matchup against Kansas State tomorrow at 6:05 p.m. at Hawks Field at Haymarket Park. Wednesday’s matchup can be seen on BTN+, while fans can listen to Dave Gustafson and Ben McLaughlin call the action on the Huskers Radio Network.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. — The Nebraska Court of Appeals has affirmed the conviction and sentencing of a Grand Island man charged with sexually assaulting a minor.
Cory Gilmore was sentenced in June to 36 to 48 years in prison on two counts of first-degree sexual assault. Court records said he was initially charged with first-degree sexual assault of a child, first-degree sexual assault and third-degree sexual assault of a child, but pleaded no contest to the two sexual assault counts as part of a plea deal.
According to an arrest affidavit, a report of a possible sexual assault came into the child abuse hotline that Gilmore sexually assaulted a minor girl when he was intoxicated.
A Grand Island police officer later interviewed the girl – who is younger than 19 years old – who said she was sexually assaulted by Gilmore from early 2021 to December 2023.
In his appeal, Gilmore claimed the District Court abused its discretion by imposing an excessive sentence. He also claimed his trial counsel was ineffective in failing to take the deposition of the alleged victim and failing to move to withdraw Gilmore’s plea before sentencing.
In its ruling, the Court of Appeals denied Gilmore’s claim of ineffective trial counsel. In his appeal, Gilmore said that at sentencing, he notified his counsel that he wished to withdraw his no-contest plea as he didn’t want to plead guilty or to say he did something he didn’t do.
The Court of Appeals said that at no point did Gilmore inform the District Court that he wished to withdraw his plea and that the District Court asked him if he made his plea “knowingly and voluntarily.”
The Court of Appeals also said in its order that at Gilmore’s sentencing hearing, the District Court looked at Gilmore’s risk to reoffend, his criminal history and the fact that he “showed no remorse for the trauma he has inflicted” in imposing its sentencing. The Court of Appeals said this was appropriate and that his sentencing was not excessive.
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services has collected more than $200,000 from gambling winnings to go toward child support arrears just three months after implementing the program.
The Gambling Winnings Setoff for Outstanding Debt Act was approved through the passage of Legislative Bill 1317 and signed by Gov. Jim Pillen in 2024.
“This program ensures funds are being used to help support kids across Nebraska,” said Gov. Pillen. “Parents have an obligation to their children, and we’re guaranteeing their well-being by collecting these winnings.”
The collections began Sept. 2, 2025. The act requires gaming operators to withhold a portion of winnings from individuals who have an unpaid debt with the state and remit the funds to the Department of Revenue.
From there, the collected funds are distributed to various agencies, including DOR, Department of Labor, Department of Motor Vehicles, and DHHS.
Within the first 13 weeks, $529,091.47 was dispersed to these agencies, with DHHS receiving $215,852.98 for the Child Support Enforcement Program.
“By administering these dollars directly to families, the Child Support Enforcement Program is setting our state’s children up for success,” said Shannon Grotrian, director of the Office of Economic Assistance. “It’s making an immediate impact on their livelihoods and making sure they have what they need to grow and thrive.”
