Huskers Walk Off With 5-4 Win vs. #23 Michigan

Down to her final strike, freshman Sydney Gray delivered a walk-off two-out, two-run single to left field to lift the Nebraska softball team to a 5-4 eight-inning upset of No. 23 Michigan Friday in the final game of a three-game series in Leesburg, Fla.

The freshman's second hit of the day - and her first career game-winning hit - capped a comeback for the Huskers, who erased a one-run deficit four times in the game. Nebraska trailed 1-0, 2-1, 3-2 and 4-3 before Gray's line-drive single delivered the win. The Huskers improved to 4-5 on the season with the victory and bounced back after losing twice to Michigan by a total of three runs on Thursday.
