What You Should Know

• The first-place Nebraska Cornhuskers opened the scoring with a five-run second inning. The Huskers chased Maryland starter Jason Savacool, who allowed six consecutive base hits and five runs in the second. 
• Maryland got its first hit - and run - of the game in the third with a Chris Alleyne solo home run down the right field line.
• The Huskers put up a pair of runs in the fourth to extend their lead to six.
• Fifth-year senior Elliot Zoellner gave Maryland two strong innings of relief in the middle innings, allowing just a single hit and no runs in his two innings of work.
• Maryland scored two runs in the top of the seventh on a bases-loaded HBP drawn by Benjamin Cowles and a RBI fielder's choice hit by Tucker Flint. The Terps closed the inning by stranding the bases-loaded with the potential game-tying run at the plate.
