Huskers enter offseason after loss in Big Ten Tournament

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - Nebraska baseball’s 2022-23 season came to an end on Saturday after a loss to Maryland in the Big Ten Tournament semifinals.

The Huskers will lose fifth year seniors Kyle Perry (pitcher), Shay Schanaman (pitcher), Griffin Everitt (catcher) and Efry Cervantes (infielder). There are also two other seniors on the roster with at least one year of eligibility left in outfielder Luke Sartori and pitcher Mason Ornelas.
