Nebraska punches ticket to Big Ten Tournament final, beating Indiana 10-4
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – For the first since 2019, Nebraska baseball is playing for a Big Ten Tournament title. After being run-ruled by Ohio State in their opening-round game, No. 2-seeded Huskers have battled their way back from the elimination bracket, defeating No. 3 Indiana twice on Saturday to secure a spot in the championship game on Sunday.
In the first semifinal game of the day, catcher Josh Caron sent two home runs to the left field concourse, driving in all four of the Huskers’ runs in the 4-2 win over the Hoosiers. Six hours later, Big Red was back at Charles Schwab Field taking on Indiana for the second and final time Saturday.
The long ball was working for Nebraska in game two against the Hoosiers as well. Gabe Swansen launched a two-run bomb and three singles for his second four-hit game of the tournament. Caron sent his third homer of the day over the left-field fence to give the Huskers a 4-1 lead. In the bottom of the eighth, Ben Columbus got in on the home run party sending a 402-foot dinger to right field giving Nebraska an eight-run lead. Nebraska went on to win, 10-4, knocking Indiana out of the Tournament.
The Huskers are the first team in Big Ten Tournament history to lose their opening-round game and advance to the Championship game. Nebraska will face No. 8 Penn State for the Big Ten Tournament title Sunday at 10 a.m at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha.
