This week’s Big 10 and National Player of the Week, Billie Andrews, opened the bottom of the 1st by running the count full and eventually being hit by a pitch. Once settled in at first, she took off for second and slid in under the tag for the steal. Peyton Cody then doubled to left, scoring Andrews for a 1-0 Huskers lead.
That would conclude the scoring for Nebraska.
The last time Nebraska and Wichita State met was in a regional elimination game last May in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The Huskers scored 3 runs in the bottom of the seventh for the tie and then 3 more in the bottom of the ninth for a 9-8 walk-off win to end the Shockers’ season.
