Nebraska has won an NCAA regional opening game for the first time since 2008. Nebraska was able to navigate 19 Connecticut hits and pounded out 13 of their own in a 8-5 victory for the Huskers over the Huskies.
Nate Fisher got the start for the Huskers. Fisher who pitched a gem last week against Iowa was in and out of trouble for his entire start today. He allowed a two run home run from Pat Winkel to put the Huskies up 2-0 in the first inning.
Angelo Altavilla answered right back in the second inning for the Huskers.
