Huskers halt Georgia Tech rally to cap two-win day in ACC/Big Ten Challenge

The Nebraska softball team scrapped its way to two more victories Friday, pushing its record to 7-1.

The Huskers opened play in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge with a 2-1 win against Boston College, and held on for a 6-5 win against Georgia Tech in Atlanta.

In a game where runs came at a premium, Madi Unzicker's two-run home run in the fourth inning proved to be the difference against Boston College (1-5).

Olivia Ferrell (2-0) earned the win, pitching four innings while allowing only two hits. She struck out two.

Georgia Tech's Breanna Roper belted a grand slam in the fourth inning to cut the lead to 6-4, and Katie Krzus' fifth-inning homer made it a one-run game.
