With the Jordy Bahl Era postponed for a season, the Huskers travelled to New Mexico for the second of six consecutive invitationals. They finished with a record of 4-1 which likely would’ve been 5-0 had they not run into New Mexico State freshman Desirae Spearman who chucked a 1-hit shutout to start things off.
When she wasn’t doing that, she was also playing short in the second game while going a combined 4-6 with 2 homers and 2 stolen bases. But once Spearman was off the mound, the Husker bats got going to take the next four in a row.
