Komine closed his home career at Nebraska with a perfect 21-0 record, improving to 41-8 all time.
"This team has come a long way. I can tell you two months ago we didn't know which way this team was going to go," coach Dave Van Horn said. "This team has probably developed more in the last two months of any team I've ever coached."
Matt Craig and Bryan Pritz each hit two-run homers for Richmond (53-13), which was one win away from its first College World Series appearance.
Richmond rallied from a 5-2 deficit to tie it on Pritz's homer in the seventh, but gave up five runs in the eighth and never recovered.
