Lincoln, NE - The Huskers (17-3, 3-0) used a strong performance from Senior Thad Weber and some early offensive production to hang on to a 4-3 win over visiting Oklahoma. The win was the 5th Big XII win in a row by the Huskers who remain undefeated in the conference this season.

Weber went 7 innings and gave up 9 hits, but like Dorn last night he managed to escape trouble every time the Sooners threatened.   The Sooners managed baserunners in every inning, but Weber kept them from crossing the plate.  Dan Jennings came in for a scoreless 8th to preserve the 4-0 lead.

The Sooners desperately tried to make it a game in the 9th.  The Sooners opened the 9th with three straight hits off Erik Anderson.  Anderson then struck out the next batter, but the ball got away from catcher Mitch Abeita and allowed the first run to score.  The next batter hit an RBI infield single to bring the score to 4-2.  After Zach Herr got the next batter to popout, Mike Nesseth came in to close it out.  Nesseth threw a wild pitch on a 1-2 count to bring the Sooners within 1.  Mike then struck out the final batter to preserve the win.

The Huskers scored 3 of their runs in the bottom of the first to jump out to the early lead.  Jake Opitz accounted for 3 of the 4 runs on the day with an RBI and a run scored in the 1st and a long drive over the right field bullpen in the 7th.

The Huskers go for the sweep tomorrow at 1:00 pm with junior Aaron Pribanic  (2-0, 0.76 ERA) on the hill.
