The Husker baseball team finished off a vital series sweep of Minnesota with a 6-5 triumph Sunday afternoon at Hawks Field. After winning the first two games of the series by one run, the Huskers jumped in front early on Senior Day with three solo home runs – back-to-back jacks by Austin Darby and Kale Kiser in the second inning, and Chad Christensen’s rocket in the third. Nebraska added two more runs in the fourth and another in the fifth to hold a 6-2 advantage, but the Gophers fought back, scoring once in the sixth and twice in the eighth. Husker reliever Dylan Vogt, who pitched the final two and a third innings, held the Gophers off the board in the ninth to preserve the win. The Big Red move to 32-19 overall and 12-9 in the Big Ten, a mark that sees them sit in a fourth-place tie in the Big Ten with one weekend left in conference play. The Huskers are back in action Tuesday night, as they host Wichita State.
