The Huskers took their first lead of the day in the bottom of the third on a three RBI Hannah Camenzind single.
Nebraska never gave the lead back.
Both Ava Kuszak and Kacie Hoffman hit a pair of home runs in the fourth, and sixth innings.
Jordy Frahm pitched a complete 7.0 innings with eight strikeouts, one earned run, and allowed five hits on the day.
With the latest victory, the huskers extend their winning streak to 21 games.
Nebraska will see where their NCAA tournament seeding is on Sunday, at the NCAA Softball Selection Show. It’s set to air at 6 p.m. on ESPN2.
