Minneapolis, Minn. - Sophomore Brian Duensing picked up his third win in as many starts, while No. 14 Nebraska scored five runs in the third inning and never looked back in a 6-0 shutout over seven-ranked Wake Forest at the Dairy Queen Baseball Classic at the Metrodome Saturday evening.
Duensing, a 6-0, 185-pounder from Omaha, hurled his first career shutout, scattering five hits and striking out five Demon Deacons to improve to 3-0 on the season. The sophomore from Omaha, who had never pitched more than 7.1 innings in his brief Husker career, now has a 1.31 ERA and a team-best 20 strikeouts in 20.2 innings this spring.
The Huskers gave the left-hander all the support he would need in the third, scoring five times off Wake Forest starter and loser Seth Hill, who fell to 1-2 with the loss. Hill came into tonight
