Ohio State got off to a fast start. A leadoff single was followed by a pair of walks to load the bases with 1 out. After an early mound visit, Husker starting pitcher induced a popup for the second out. Ohio State DH Mason Eckelman drove a ball to the right field warning track which Drew Grego had to hustle to catch up to. He was able to get a glove on it, but not make the catch before slamming into the wall. The bases would clear, and Eckelmen slid into third with a 3 RBI triple.
Nebraska finally got on the board in the 3rd. What looked like an inning ending groundout by Mac Moyer was unable to be caught by the first baseman. Catcher Jeter Worthley worked a full count before being hit by a pitch to put runners on first and second. First baseman Case Sanderson shot the first pitch he saw right back up the middle, scoring Moyer for an unearned run. Huskers cut the lead to 3-1.

Ohio State would respond right away. First baseman Dane Harvey unloaded into a Blachowicz pitch and just snuck it over Moyer and the right center wall for his 14th home run of the season. The Buckeyes were back up 3, at 4-1.
The teams traded zeros until the seventh inning. Husker left fielder Jett Buck led off the inning with a double to left. That marked the first extra base hit for the Huskers in the series, and only the second time a leadoff batter reached, in the 16th inning the teams have played. Back to back groundouts to the right side of the infield by Josh Overbeek and then Grego brought in Buck to cut the lead to 4-2.

Eckleman answered right back for the Buckeyes, leading off the bottom of the inning with a double off of reliever Caleb Clark. Nebraska got Tucker Timmerman out of the pen, and he struck out his first batter. A lazy fly to center moved Eckleman over to third. A single to shallow center knocked him in and again the score was back to a 3 run game at 5-2.
