Nebraska Game Notes:
**-- Today’s game attendance of 8, 711 was the largest in Haymarket Park history.

Dorn, who has won 12 straight decisions, moved into sole possesion of third on the NU single-season chart, trailing only Troy Brohawn, who had 13 wins in 1993, and Shane Komine, who had a school-record 14 wins while leading Nebraska to its first-ever College World Series appearance in 2001.

 

**-- Nebraska now holds a 10-game winning streak which is one off the Huskers' season high of 11 set from March 11 to March 23. NU has now won seven straight games over ranked teams with the two-game sweep over the No. 13 Hurricanes.

 

**-- Alex Gordon’s home run was his 19th of the season and the 44th home run of his career. It was his 45th extra-base hit of the season and moved him into sole possesion of third on the NU single-season chart for extra-base hits.

**-- Nebraska has scored in the first inning 33 times and is now 28-5 when scoring in the first inning.

The last time Miami was held to four runs or less in consecutive NCAA Tournament games was 1979 when it scored four runs in the College World Series against Arizona (1) and Pepperdine (3).
