show moreA 3-2 loss to San Diego State in extra innings already might’ve already caused some frustration, but it paled in comparison to Nebraska’s 9-8 loss to No. 24 UCLA. The Huskers rallied from three runs down and led 8-4 heading into the seventh inning, only to surrender five runs and fall on a walk-off single for second time Friday in Cathedral City, California.
Seeking its biggest win of the young season, Nebraska (6-5) turned to its best hitter in the key moments against UCLA. Shortstop Billie Andrews’ second-inning home run was Nebraska’s first step toward overturning its early three-run deficit, and she later followed with a solo blast during a stretch when NU scored seven consecutive runs.
Nebraska capitalized on four UCLA errors, tying the game 4-4 with the help of two misplayed ground balls. Left fielder Samantha Bland went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles, the first being a two-RBI blast off the center-field fence that gave Nebraska the lead in the fifth inning. By the time Bland scored on an error to increase the Huskers’ lead to 8-4 in the seventh inning, UCLA’s fast start had long faded.
After splitting a doubleheader on Thursday at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic, Mizzou looked to start and finish Friday's doubleheader on a high note.
And that's exactly what the Tigers did.
Behind offensive contributions from a litany of players dominant pitching performances from Laurin Krings and Marissa McCann, Mizzou moved to 13-1 with wins over UCF and Cal State Fullerton.
Mizzou didn't waste much time doing damage in the first game against the Knights, as Kara Daly reversed a troubling trend that began yesterday in the first inning. Against San Diego State and Wisconsin, Mizzou left a combined 18 runners on base. The Tigers got runners aboard early, with Jenna Laird walking and Alex Honnold ripping a double. Two batters later, Daly hit a a chopper to second base that got under the glove of Samantha Rey.
