The No. 10 Nebraska softball team shut down an attempted UTSA comeback to down the Roadrunners, 6-3, on Saturday night in San Antonio, Texas.
Nebraska went into the bottom of the sixth inning with a 6-1 advantage before UTSA scored two runs in the inning to cut the lead to 6-3. The Roadrunners hit a leadoff single in the bottom of the seventh, but NU retired three straight batters to clinch the victory.
Hannah Camenzind (1-0) grabbed the win in the circle after tossing 2.1 scoreless innings and allowing only one hit. Kylee Magee started the game for NU and Alexis Jensen came in to close it.
H. Camenzind was also 2-for-4 at the plate with a home run and three RBIs. Jordy Frahm, Hannah Coor and Carlie Muhlbach each added an RBI. Frahm and Muhlbach each knocked solo shots. Muhlbach made her first career start today, as she started as the Huskers’ catcher.
NU opened up a 2-0 lead in the top of the first, as Frahm was hit by a pitch and went to second on a passed ball. She scored on a Coor single and Coor went home on a H. Camenzind single.
The Huskers extended the edge to 3-0 in the second inning on a Frahm solo home run.
UTSA used a hit and two walks to get on the board in the bottom of the third and cut the lead to 3-1.
The Big Red pushed the lead to 5-1 in the top of the fifth. Emmerson Cope doubled and H. Camenzind knocked a two-run home run to score herself and Katelyn Caneda, who came in to pinch run for Cope.
Muhlbach hit her first career home run in the top of the sixth to make the score 6-1.
The Roadrunners mounted a comeback in the sixth and cut the lead to 6-3, but NU fought back to close out the win.
The Huskers will close the UTSA Invitational with a rematch against the Washington Huskies at 10:05 a.m. (CT) tomorrow, Feb. 8. The game will be streamed on ESPN+ and can be heard across the Huskers Radio Network.
