Huskers Pounce No. 19 BYU, 5-4, in Comeback Win

 In a thrilling eight-inning comeback, the Nebraska softball team topped No. 19 BYU 5-4 in its first game of the 2018 season on Friday afternoon at the Tempe Sports Complex. It is the first of two games today, as the Huskers face Arizona State later tonight. The Huskers scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh to push the game to extra innings and won in the eighth inning after Tristen Edwards hit a two-out game-winning RBI single. Edwards finished the game with two hits, two runs and one RBI. The victory was the Huskers' first season-opening win against a ranked opponent since 2007, when NU beat No. 24 Auburn 1-0 in eight innings.
