A leadoff four-pitch walk to Silva and Overbeek plunked on a 2-0 count put runners on first and second, setting the table for Nunez’s RBI single to center that scored Silva from second.

Overbeek sprinted down the third-base line on a sacrifice fly to right from Brumbaugh to give the Big Red a 6-2 advantage.

The Huskers scored a run in the fifth consecutive inning in the top of the sixth to expand the lead to 7-2. Frost drew a leadoff full-count walk and swiped second to put a runner in scoring position for the NU offense with no outs. An RBI groundout advanced Frost to third, before Helligso blooped an RBI single into shallow right field to give the Huskers a five-run advantage.

A one-out solo homer over the left-field wall plated the Waves’ third run of the afternoon in the bottom of the seventh inning. The Waves loaded the bases with two outs in the inning, but Harrahill induced a flyout to escape the damage.
