The Husker baseball team earned their first conference road series win since 2008 with a doubleheader sweep of Ohio State yesterday. After losing in the series opener on Friday night, the Huskers played longball to open Sunday’s double dip. Kale Kiser and Kash Kalkowski hit two-run home runs, and Josh Scheffert’s solo homer in the eighth inning broke a tie and gave the Big Red a 5-4 win. Scheffert would lead the offense in a lopsided 17-9 victory in the nightcap, as he homered and drove in a career-high seven runs. Zach Hirsch worked six strong innings to get the victory in the second game, allowing just two runs and striking out two. The Huskers stopped Ohio State’s seven-game winning streak and moved ahead of them in Big Ten play in the process. They are now 7-5 in conference play and 25-13 overall.
