A pair of four-run innings carried the Nebraska baseball team (7-4, 0-0 Big Ten) to a 9-6 win over the Kansas State Wildcats on Tuesday afternoon at Hawks Field. In front of 4,169 fans, the Huskers won their 34th straight home opener dating back to 1979 and moved to 11-0 in home openers at Hawks Field with the win. Senior Kale Kiser led the way for NU with a 2-for-4 performance at the plate, including a two-run home run in the fourth inning and a double in the sixth.
Chad Christensen and Kurt Farmer also had two hits each for Head Coach Darin Erstad’s offense, with Christensen driving in a team-high three RBI’s to bring his season total to 11.
Nebraska’s pitching staff used seven pitchers on the day, with Tyler Niederklein picking up the win to move to 2-1 on the year after relieving NU starter Jon Keller. Travis Huber shut the door with a perfect ninth inning, including two strikeouts, for his third save of the season.
The Huskers will be back at Hawks Field Wednesday afternoon for a meeting with Nebraska-Kearney. NU is set to send senior right-hander Dexter Spitsnogle to the mound, while UNK will counter with Cory Ridenour.
