The Big Ten Conference Baseball Tournament ended Day 1 on an electric note Tuesday. 8-seed Nebraska trailed 12-seed Michigan State by as much as three midway through the game. The Huskers added a pair in the sixth inning before tying the game in the ninth.

The two losses officially mark the end of the 2025 season for Michigan State, that saw the Spartans go 28-27, a game above the .500 threshold. It is only the second time in the last seven years that the Spartans have finished above that .500 mark.

The victory sets up a Friday night showdown with top-seeded Oregon. The winner moves on to Saturday’s semifinals.
