LINCOLN — A four-run third inning helped power the White Team to a 6-3 win Thursday against the Red Team in the first game of the Huskers' Red-White Series.
Kash Kalkowski and Bryan Peters each had two RBIs for the White Team, while its pitching staff gave up one earned run and struck out seven. Offensively for the Reds, freshman Austin Darby blasted a triple to right field and Richard Stock, a transfer from USC, accounted for the team's two RBIs.
The top of the third opened with an error by shortstop Kurt Farmer, and then pitcher Brandon Pierce walked Kevin Terry to give the White Team runners on first and second with no outs. Following a strikeout by Ty Kildow, leadoff hitter Michael Pritchard beat out an infield single to load the bases. Peters then worked a seven-pitch walk to tie the game at 1. Kale Kiser followed with a sacrifice fly to center to score Terry before Kalkowski delivered a single to plate Peters and Pritchard.
Pritchard added another run in the fifth after reaching first on a two-out infield single and then stealing second base. Peters followed with a single to center to drive in Prichard, extending the White lead to 5-1.
The Red team entered the bottom of the seventh down 6-2, but loaded the bases with two outs. Chris Williams got Farmer on as ground out to end the game.
The Huskers will play game two of the three-game series at 5 p.m. Friday with a seven-inning contest at Hawks Field before wrapping up the series Saturday with a nine-inning game at 11 a.m.
