The Husker softball team had their hands full with their newest in-state Division I rival, but scratched out a run in the eighth inning to defeat Nebraska-Omaha 1-0 in Omaha yesterday evening. Taylor Edwards hit a two-out single that scored Mattie Fowler with the game’s only run, spoiling the efforts of UNO ace Dana Elsasser, who went the distance and scattered seven hits while striking out three. Her counterpart in the circle for the Huskers, Ashley Hagemann, was spectacular in victory, hurling a shutout and allowing just four hits while striking out 17 Maverick hitters. The victory was Nebraska’s second one-run win over UNO in as many meetings this season. The Huskers improve their record to 27-16 with the win. Next up is a three-game Big Ten road series at Ohio State this Saturday and Sunday.
