Kash Kalkowski returned to the Nebraska lineup in a big way as he helped power the Huskers to a 12-3 win over Northern Colorado in the first game of a brief two-game series at Hawks Field last night. Kalkowski has missed much of the early portion of this season and been relegated to mostly bench duty with a nagging groin injury, but in a starting role last night he delivered a two-run single in the first inning that gave the Huskers the lead and led off the fourth inning with a home run. The Huskers opened things up with six more runs in that fourth inning and tacked on three more runs in the eighth. Freshman Kyle Kubat earned his first career win on the mound for the Big Red. The Huskers move to 15-7 with the win. Today’s game against the Bears gets started at 12:05, a change from the originally scheduled 1:35 time.
