Myles Bailey hit a solo home run in the fourth inning, the lone run and just one of two hits for the Seminoles. The other came from Kelyvn Paulino in the ninth inning, a single to left field.
FSU started Payton Manca, but he lasted less than an inning and allowed two hits, three earned runs, and a pair of walks in five batters faced. Chris Knier replaced him and worked 2.2 innings, and he struck out four batters, to bring some stability to the Seminoles.

He allowed a double and a single that scored two before being replaced by Gabe Nard. A sacrifice fly was the final run charged to Beard, who allowed three earned runs.
Nebraska's Jett Buck went 2-for-3 with an RBI, but Dylan Carey was the star for Nebraska, as he went 3-for-5 with five RBI, including a two-run home run in the seventh inning.
