Box Score PAPILLION, Neb. -- The Omaha and Nebraska baseball teams clashed in their first meeting of the season on Wednesday night, with NU prevailing 3-2 in 10 innings in front of 4,183 fans at Werner Park. The Mavericks are now 13-12 (6-3 Summit League) on the season, while the 18th-ranked Huskers improve to 23-7 (3-0 Big Ten).

Max Knutson (1-1) earned the win in relief, throwing 2.0 scoreless innings with two hits, no walks and a strikeout. Senior right-hander Zach Williamsen was tagged with the loss in relief, going 2.2 innings with no walks and two strikeouts while allowing NU the go-ahead run on a solo homer in the top of the 10th. Josh Roeder picked up his ninth save of the year for Nebraska, tossing a scoreless, hitless final inning and striking out the side.

Junior Alex Schultz had an outstanding night at the plate for Omaha, finishing 3-for-5 with two runs scored, two doubles and a solo home run -- his second roundtripper of the season. Junior Cole Gruber joined him with another multi-hit effort, going 2-for-4.

Jake Schleppenbach went 2-for-4 while driving in two runs for the Huskers, and Luis Alvarado also had a pair of hits for the night.

Omaha took the lead first, tallying one run on a pair of hits in the bottom of the first inning. Schultz led off with a double to left center and later scored on junior Clayton Taylor's sacrifice fly to left. The Mavericks tallied a double and two walks over the first four batters in the lineup, ousting NU starter Zack Engelken after just 0.1 of an inning.

With UNO starter Shane Meltz retiring nine consecutive Husker batters beginning in the second inning, Nebraska was quiet until the top of the fifth. Jake Placzek came up with a one-out single through the left side and advanced on a groundout, then scored on an RBI single to right by Schleppenbach to tie it at 1-1.

The Mavericks quickly regained the lead in the bottom half of the frame when Schultz ripped a solo homer to left on a 3-1 pitch with two outs, making it 2-1.

Nebraska, however, knotted the game once more in the seventh. Ryan Boldt singled through the right side and promptly scored on Schleppenbach's first-pitch RBI double down the left field line for a 2-2 tie.

After the game was sent to extra innings, Scott Schreiber delivered the first home run of his career in the top of the 10th by sending an 0-1 pitch over the left field wall to put Nebraska up 3-2. Roeder then came in for the bottom of the 10th, shutting down Omaha with three straight strikeouts.
