The Cornhuskers secured a series win against the No. 5 Oregon State Beavers, highlighted by a remarkable nine-run seventh inning in their 16-7 victory.

Interview with Player of the Game, Sam Walters (Senior Outfielder): Reporter: “Sam, that seventh inning was unbelievable. What was going through your mind as the offense started to heat up?”

Sam Walters: “Honestly, it was just about staying focused. We’ve been talking all season about sticking with the process, even when things don’t look great. We knew if we kept grinding, good things would come. When the runs started to come in, the energy was just electric in the dugout, and it really felt like we couldn’t be stopped.”

Reporter: “You had a huge two-run single during that inning. Can you walk us through that at-bat?”

Sam Walters: “I was just trying to stay calm and put the ball in play. They had a good pitcher on the mound, but I got a pitch I could handle and just drove it. I wasn’t thinking about the two runs, just making sure I got on base and set the tone for the rest of the guys coming up.”

Interview with Pitcher, Jake Anderson (Sophomore): Reporter: “Jake, the bullpen really stepped up after you came in during the later innings. How important was that relief effort from the team today?”

Jake Anderson: “It was huge. We’ve been working on maintaining our composure all season, and when the offense gave us that big lead, we knew we had to hold it down. Everyone in the bullpen did their part, and it felt good to contribute to the win. We’ve got a great group of pitchers this year, and we’re all pushing each other to perform at our best.”

Reporter: “It must have been a great team win. What does this series victory do for your confidence moving forward?”

Jake Anderson: “It’s a big boost for sure. Oregon State is one of the top teams in the country, and getting this win shows that we can compete with anyone. We’ll take this momentum into the next series and keep building on it.”

With this impressive victory, Nebraska continues to build confidence as they prepare for upcoming challenges in the season. The team’s performance in this series highlighted their resilience and team spirit, setting the tone for what’s to come.
