Parker Dalton and Kyle Colligan each had two hits on a windy Saturday afternoon, but No. 5 Nebraska blanked the Aggies, 6-0, at Haymarket Park.
With the loss, the Aggies dropped to 19-20 overall and to 3-12 in Big 12 play. The Huskers improved to 28-5 and 10-2.
Nebraska starter Johnny Dorn (6-2) pitched a complete-game shutout. He scattered eight hits, struck out seven and did not allow a free pass.
The Huskers took the lead in the bottom of the third with a run off A&M starter Kyle Thebeau. Bryce Nimmo walked, stole second and scored on a one-out single up the middle by Ryan Wehrle.
A three-run home run by Jeff Christy in the bottom of the fifth gave the Huskers a 4-0 lead and chased Thebeau from the game.
Thebeau (3-5) lasted 4 1/3 innings and allowed four runs on seven hits. He struck out six and walked two.
RBI singles by Steve Edlefson and Jake Mort in the sixth earned the Huskers a 6-0 lead.
After completion of the seventh inning, the skies opened and the two teams endured a 25-minute rain delay.
A&M reliever Hart Hering tossed two innings of shutout ball in the eighth and ninth innings.
The Aggies return to action this Tuesday when they host the Houston Cougars. First pitch is set for 7 p.m. at Olsen Field.
