Entering Saturday, Arizona had mercy-ruled all seven opponents it had faced at Hillenbrand Stadium.
That streak came to and, as did the Wildcats’ perfect record on their home field, as part of a 1-1 performance during Day 2 of the Hillenbrand Invitational.
The 16th-ranked UA (14-6) lost 10-3 to Nebraska before rebounding to beat Texas A&M-Commerce 17-8 in five innings.
Nebraska used a 5-run third inning to hand the Wildcats their first home loss, tagging ace Devyn Netz for five runs in 2.1 innings. Arizona got all its runs in the first game in the bottom of the second on a 2-run triple from Tayler Biehl followed by Jasmine Perezchica’s RBI single.
