BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – For the sixth time this season Indiana recorded a shut out as they won 5-0 against Nebraska on Friday.
Key Moments
• In the first inning Taylor Minnick hit a pop up over the second baseman's head for a base hit to score two runs for the Hoosiers.
• Indiana worked out of trouble in the bottom half of the first. Nebraska put runners on first and second with no outs, but Indiana did not allow a Cornhusker run.

• The Hoosiers retired the Cornhuskers three up, three down in the second, third and fourth for nine straight outs.

• Aaliyah Andrews doubled down the line in the seventh to increase the Indiana lead to 5-0.
Notes
• Indiana improves to 27-19 overall and 10-11 in the Big Ten. Nebraska drops to 35-14 overall and 15-5 in the Big Ten.
