Nebraska baseball cruises past San Diego State in 13-0 rout
Nebraska baseball carried its momentum from Saturday night into Sunday with a dominant 13-0 victory over San Diego State, powered by a stellar pitching performance from fifth-year left-hander Will Walsh.
Walsh was nearly untouchable, throwing seven scoreless innings, striking out six, and allowing no earned runs. The southpaw controlled the game from the outset, never allowing more than one baserunner in an inning.

Brumbaugh ignites early offensive surge
For the second consecutive game, Cayden Brumbaugh set the tone at the plate. The junior outfielder led off the first inning with a triple down the left-field line, and Max Buttenback wasted no time bringing him home with a sacrifice fly.
After Walsh put up another zero in the second, the Huskers’ bats came alive. Nebraska plated four runs in the bottom half of the inning, building a 5-0 lead and taking firm control of the game.
Buttenback homers as Huskers pour it on
Buttenback continued his strong night at the plate, launching his first home run of the season—a two-run blast over the right-field wall in the fourth inning. The home run was Nebraska’s second of the young season, further extending the lead.

Jasa shines in relief, Huskers showcase pitching depth
Once Walsh’s night was done, Nebraska turned to sophomore right-hander Carson Jasa for the final two frames. The Huskers are high on Jasa’s potential, and he delivered a flawless relief outing, securing the shutout win.
Nebraska’s pitching depth appears to be a major asset this season. The Huskers boast three strong weekend starters and a reliable midweek option, giving them a well-rounded and confident rotation.
Looking ahead: Nebraska faces Grand Canyon
