Husker Softball

Last weekend they lost 2 to Texas. No surprise here as we just aren't in the same league as Texas with them having Cat O. as their pitcher. Although, Texas pitched their lesser pitcher the 2nd game and we scored some runs and could of won, but errors cost the game. Bad luck as that happens some times.

 

But last night, we only got one hit against Creighton, what is going on? Everyones batting averages have been heading down the last several weeks after we stopped playing the creampuffs we played early in the year.

 

Playing such a weak schedule early in the year looks to have caught up with us. In an earlier posting I called our schedule a "Creighton like early season schedule". Looks like we have dropped to be on a par with Creighon, sad!!

 

Come on Coach Revelle, get this team going! After this season, you lose 4 seniors that are 4 of your 5 top hitters. It's this year we need to go far as next year is going to be a down year!

Coming off a rare victory in a game in which Nebraska was no-hit, the 17th-ranked NU softball team is on the road this weekend to face an Oklahoma State team that ranks at the bottom of the Big 12 in pitching.

 

The opener of the two-game series is today at 2 p.m. in Stillwater. The finale is Sunday at 1 p.m.

 

Nebraska (25-6, 3-2 Big 12) will be looking to sweep the Cowgirls and stay in the race for the conference championship. Texas and Texas A&M share the lead at 5-1 after the Aggies scored a win on Wednesday against the top-ranked Longhorns.

 

Oklahoma State (16-17, 2-3) has struggled at times this season, as shown by the Cowgirls’ 15-1 loss to Oklahoma on Wednesday. OSU has allowed six or more runs in 12 different games this season.

Last year, freshman Marjorie Johnson no-hit the Huskers in a 2-0 victory. Johnson, however, left the team following the season.

 

Nebraska is riding a five-game winning streak in which opponents have scored only four runs. Junior right-hander Ashley DeBuhr has been dominant of late, striking out 71 and sporting a 0.49 ERA over her last 43 innings. Teammate Molly Hill ranks third among Big 12 pitchers in ERA and fourth in victories.

 

Nebraska returns home next week for a stretch of six games in five days, beginning with a three-game series against South Dakota State.
