Nebraska baseball earns jolt of life with first win over top-5 opponent since 2021

  • Nebraska, with an 11-14 record, defeated fifth-ranked Oregon State, who has a 19-5 record, with a score of 7-3 in Lincoln.
  • Nebraska, fresh off a nine-game road trip and energized by two consecutive practice days, secured their first top-five home win since 2011, improving their record against top-25 teams to 8-15 in the Will Bolt era.
  • Cael Frost's 355-foot, two-run homer in the fifth inning extended Nebraska's lead to 7-0, while Riley Silva, Hogan Helligso, and Rhett Stokes also contributed to the offensive surge.
  • Will Walsh pitched six-plus innings, allowing three runs on five hits and throwing 95 pitches, contributing to the victory, while coach Will Bolt emphasized that the offensive resurgence stemmed from a change in mentality, stating, "This is what I'm doing" and "Slug was the difference in the game."
  • Despite Oregon State trimming the lead to 7-2 after a wide throw on a grounder to third, Nebraska held on to win, with Stone saying, "It's going to give us more momentum moving forward," as they prepare to claim the series on Saturday at 2 p.m.
