Patronize Nebraskan Advertisers NU Sweeps Oklahoma Series To Keep By Hal Brown Nebraska kept their Big Eight baseball championship hopes alive with a sweep of a three-game series from Oklahoma by scores of 4-3, 2-1, and 5-4. Two of the victories came on clutch hits by Leroy Zen tic and Ely Churchich, one in the last inning and one in extra innings. The wins gave Nebraska a 9-4 record in the conference and a chance to overtake the league leading Oklahoma State Cowboys. Oklahoma State lost two of three eames to Iowa State leaving the Cowboys with a 15-3 record. If Nebraska sweens their last series of the season from Kansas State Friday and Saturday and Missouri wins all three games in its series with Oklahoma State, then the Huskers would be Big Eight Champions.

Jerry Harris opened the 9th for the Huskers hv pet. ting his second double of the day to leu Held. Bob Semin moved him to third with a perfect sacrifice bunt and &emin was safe at first on Catcher Don Nipp's throwing error. Zentic then came through with a long single to leit center scoring Hams with the winning run. After giving up a run in the opening frame, Husker moundsman Bob Gleason settled down to win his first THE TAREYTON uaSJ JL, how I J RING EiJEW DUAL Title Hopes Alive game of the season against five defeats in the opening game of Saturday's double header.
