Todd wrote a nice article over the weekend about the Husker softball team and the excellent product they’ve been putting out on the field. I usually try to listen to the games (It is great to hear Nate Rohr back in the announcer’s chair this season) when I can. The past few years, the team has not been up to their usual standards, but this year is different.
Nebraska’s win streak has reached 18 games after a weekend sweep of Minnesota. The Huskers shut out the Gophers in the first two games but possibly saved the best for last. In the final game of the series, they were down by seven runs and came back to win by three. Power hitting is powering the win streak in a big way. Any player that comes to the plate is capable of sending one for extra bases.
