Going through my pre-game notes, when it appeared the rising Caitlyn Olensky would be out as well as Emmerson Cope - “As in most days this season, this one will be up to the bats.”
On this day, the bats answered again when the Huskers broke open an already high-scoring 7-7 tie with three homers in the last three innings. Sammie Bland stayed red hot banging a solo shot in the top of a 2-run 5th inning.
Sydney Gray and Talia Tokheim then added exclamation points with back-to-back blasts in the top of the 7th, Tokheim’s being her 2nd of the day.
