The Plainsmen got a big at-bat from Ralph Cranford. For the game, Cranford went 2-4 with a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the fourth, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 2-run double. His 18th double of the season gave Nebraska a 3-1 lead.

Unknown told the Nebraska Citizen: "I don't know which I enjoy more -- being a ballplayer or the perks that come with being a ballplayer."

Nebraska now owns a record of 42-43.
