OMAHA, Neb. -- The semifinal bracket was finalized on day four of the Big Ten Baseball Tournament, highlighted by Michigan's explosive win in an elimination game and Nebraska's dominate pitching in the nightcap.

Game 9: Michigan 13, Indiana 6
Michigan extended its season another day after posting a 13-6 win over Indiana, eliminating the second-seeded Hoosiers (41-18) from the tournament.

The Wolverines (28-27) built a 6-0 lead behind the bat and arm of pitcher/designated hitter Mitch Voit, who recorded four hits and went 5.2 innings on the mound. Six Michigan players recorded multiple hits as the team finished with 18 on the afternoon.

Michigan will face Iowa tomorrow at 9 a.m. in the first semifinal. Should the Wolverines win, the two teams would play again at 5 p.m.

Game 10: Nebraska 4, Michigan State 0
Nebraska gave the home state fans plenty to cheer about with a 4-0 victory over Michigan State in an elimination game.

Nebraska pitcher Will Walsh threw the first complete game of the tournament, giving up just four hits and striking out seven over nine shutout innings. He had plenty of help in the field with web gems from Brice Matthews and left fielder Gabe Swansen.

The Cornhuskers (33-22-1) will face Maryland tomorrow at 1 p.m. A Nebraska win would force a second game later in the day.
