Wichita State added three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning and even had the game-tying run at the plate in the ninth, but a groundout to first base sealed the win for Nebraska.
Brady Hamilton made his first career start for the Shockers on Tuesday, pitching three innings and giving up six runs on seven hits. He struck out four batters and walked one.
The Shockers and Huskers both recorded 11 hits, but the Shockers also committed three errors in the game.
