For the first time this season, Nebraska baseball has lost a weekend series.

The Huskers took just one game on the weekend at Rutgers. NU is now 23-10 while the Scarlet Knights improve to 22-13.

Nebraska has lost four of the last five games.

Rutgers managed to score five unanswered runs over the final four innings to take the Friday game 7-6 in 11 innings. NU led 6-3 going into the bottom of the eighth inning.

NU got back on track Saturday, steamrolling the home team 16-1. Mason McConnaughey tossed 7.0 scoreless innings while Case Sanderson and Dylan Carey had three hits apiece.

The Huskers got ahead 2-0 as part of scoring runs in three consecutive innings, but the Scarlet Knights scored in five of their final six innings at the plate to take the series finale 6-4.

Nebraska returns home to host Creighton Tuesday.
