Nebraska suffered a lopsided loss to Washburn as the Washburn nine, led by strong pitching and timely hitting, ran up a wide margin. Cook started for Washburn, with a sharp defense supporting him.

Washburn tallied three runs in the seventh and added two more in the eighth to seal a decisive victory, while Nebraska played a rough and error-prone game amid occasional bursts of offense.
