LINCOLN, Neb. — The Nebraska Cornhuskers set numerous NCAA baseball records Tuesday by defeating Chicago State, 50-3, in the second game of a doubleheader.
The previous record for runs was set by West Chester, Pa., which beat Philadelphia Textile, 42-1, on April 7, 1994.
The Huskers (12-6) also established an NCAA record for winning margin--47 runs. Nebraska’s 48 runs batted in eclipsed the NCAA single-game record (held by West Chester and Clemson) by 11.
It was 23-0 after the third inning and 32-2 after the fourth. The game, which had been scheduled for nine innings, ended on the 12-run mercy rule after 6 1/2 innings. Chicago State is 2-9.
Nebraska won the seven-inning first game, 15-3.
Craig Moore went five for seven in the late game and his 10 RBIs were a Nebraska single-game record.
