The Nebraska baseball team closed out their seventeen-game homestand with a 6-3 victory over Kansas State at Hawks Field last night. The Huskers struck early, as Kash Kalkowski and Kurt Farmer drove in runs as part of a three-run first inning that put the Big Red ahead to stay. Richard Stock drove in a pair of runs in the third inning, and Rich Sanguinetti plated Nebraska’s sixth run in the fourth. Brandon Pierce worked three shutout innings to start the game, and five Husker relievers took over from there, with Travis Huber earning the save. The Huskers wrap up their 21-day homestand with a 12-5 record, and are 18-9 on the season overall. Nebraska next ventures out on the road for their first trip in Big Ten conference play, as they open a three-game series at Northwestern on Friday afternoon.
