LINCOLN, Neb. (KMTV) — Nebraska starter Cade Povich pitched a gem & the bullpen backed him up as the Huskers shut out Michigan on Friday at Haymarket Park, 1-0. The Bellevue West alum went seven scoreless innings striking out nine including an immaculate inning in the first when the southpaw threw nine pitches for nine strikes.
