The Nebraska Cornhuskers won three games in a four-game series against the Grand Canyon Lopes this weekend, including a hard-fought victory on Sunday that featured a controversial call against GCU.
In the fifth inning of Sunday’s series finale, Lopes senior Tyler Wilson smacked a no-doubt grand slam to tie the game at eight runs apiece. It was clear from the moment the ball left the bat that it was gone, and as Wilson trotted to first base he held onto his bat for a moment and tossed it high in the air as he neared the bag to punctuate the dramatic blast.
It was a thrilling moment, but it led to Wilson being ejected for bat flipping.
