The Nebraska baseball team made it 34 consecutive home opener victories with a 9-6 defeat of Kansas State at Hawks Field yesterday afternoon. The Big Red used big sticks to score four runs in the third inning and four more in the fifth, erasing an early 2-0 deficit. Kale Kiser’s two-run home run, his first of the season, was the big blow in the third. That shot tied the game, and Chad Christensen’s two-run single later in the frame gave the Huskers the lead for good. In the fifth, Christensen and Kurt Farmer had RBI hits, while Josh Scheffert drove in a pair with a single. Bryan Peters drove in Nebraska’s final run in the eighth. Tyler Niederklein earned the win on the mound, and Travis Huber worked a perfect ninth for the save. The Huskers move to 7-4 on the season. They host Nebraska-Kearney today at 1:35.
