Nebraska is one win away from a return trip to the College World Series. Sophmore Joba Chamberlain threw a masterful 8 innings only allowing seven hits and one run in.

Miami’s lone run came off of a lead off solo shot by Paco Figueroa in the fourth. Nebraska quickly answered with Joe Simokaitis scoring from second on a mishandled Andy Gerch ground ball to 1st.

Daniel Bruce’s fifth inning solo blast put the Husker’s up for good and Jeff Christy scored on a Simokaitis line drive to add an insurance run. Miami wasn’t able to manage much of threat through most of the game. Husker reliever, Brett Jensen, finished the Hurricane’s off in the 9th.

Game 2 starts at 11:05 am on Saturday with TV coverage on ESPN. Nebraska will throw freshman Johnny Dorn against Miami’s senior southpaw, Brandon Camardese.
