Nebraska Baseball takes series at Minnesota
Nebraska baseball remained in the hunt for a Big Ten Conference title with a series victory at Minnesota this weekend.
The Huskers topped the Gophers in the first two games but dropped dropped Sunday’s finale. NU is now 30-16 on the season, including 12-6 in the Big Ten. That puts the Huskers in a three-way tie for second place behind Illinois, which leads the league at 13-5.
Minnesota is now 21-21 with a league record of 7-11.
Nebraska won a relatively high-scoring affair Friday night, thanks in part to Dylan Carey’s two-run home run in the seventh inning. That gave NU a lead that wouldn’t be given back as the Huskers won 10-7.
The series was clinched Saturday with a 7-3 Husker victory. Joshua Overbeek had a 3-for-5 day with a homer, three RBIs and two runs. Josh Caron had three hits and an RBI, while Dylan Carey was 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored.
Sunday’s finale saw NU come up short of the sweep, with Minnesota scoring a pair of runs in the first inning and never relinquishing the lead en route to the 6-2 final.
Nebraska returns home to host South Dakota State for a single game Wednesday before a three-game weekend series in Lincoln against Indiana. The Huskers’ regular season wraps up the following weekend with three games at Michigan State.

Police in Nebraska were called to a convenience store after reports of gunfire — only to find a dog accidentally shot a person with a shotgun.
Officers with the Scottsbluff Police Department were called to Short Stop, a gas station and convenience store, after receiving a report that someone had been shot with a BB gun just after noon on Saturday, KNOP News 2 reported.
However, while on their way to the scene, police were informed that the incident actually involved a shotgun.
At the store, police found a truck with damage consistent with a shotgun blast to the passenger side door.
The driver of the truck had pulled into the parking lot to shop, but a dog in the back seat of their vehicle moved from one side of the car to the other — and managed to cause the loaded shotgun to discharge.
The shotgun fired off into the passenger side panel of the car. A pellet also struck a woman who was stopped at a nearby traffic light and had her right arm dangling out of the car’s open window.
The pellet from the shotgun struck her in the upper arm, police said.
The woman’s injury was not believed to be life-threatening. She was taken to a nearby hospital by a family member.
It is against the law in Nebraska to travel with a loaded shotgun in a vehicle, according to the report.
The incident is being investigated by the Scottsbluff Police Department.
