After Povich got out of an early bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the first with a strike out of Fascia, Anderson put the first run of the season on the board with a solo home run to right field. Johnson responded with consecutive outs before Logan Foster got his first hit as a Husker with a single to right field. Acker then delivered a two-out double to put two runners in scoring position, but Johnson struck out Jaxon Hallmark swinging to end the top of the second.
