CLEARWATER, Fla. (WOWT) – No. 8 Nebraska rallied with a decisive fourth inning and leaned on shutdown relief pitching from senior Jordy Frahm to knock off top-ranked Texas Tech, 3-2, on Sunday at the Clearwater Invitational.<\/p>\n
The victory improved the Huskers to 6-4 and marked their second win this season over a No. 1-ranked opponent after beating Texas on Feb. 7.<\/p>\n
Texas Tech, which entered unbeaten, fell to 11-1 on the year.<\/p>\n
Down 2-0 in the fourth inning, senior utility Hannah Camenzind hit a double, and junior catcher Jesse Farrell followed with a home run to even the score. According to ESPN, it is the first time the Red Raiders\u2019 senior pitcher, NiJaree Canady, has allowed back-to-back extra-base hits in her career.<\/p>\n
Two batters later, senior outfielder Hannah Coor put down a two-out RBI single to give the Huskers a 3-2 lead they would keep for the duration.<\/p>\n
Freshman pitcher and Gretna native Alexis Jensen earned the win in the circle, working four innings with seven strikeouts. She allowed three runs, two earned, on five hits.<\/p>\n
Frahm handled the final three innings and was flawless, retiring all nine batters she faced while striking out four to collect her third save of the season.<\/p>\n
Canady absorbed the loss after surrendering three runs in 4 2\/3 innings of work.<\/p>\n
Camenzind finished 2-for-3 at the plate, while Farrell\u2019s homer was her fourth of the season.<\/p>\n
The win was Nebraska\u2019s fifth all-time over a No. 1 team and the first time in program history the Huskers have defeated two top-ranked opponents in the same season.<\/p>\n
Nebraska travels next to the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic, where it will open play Friday against No. 20 South Carolina at noon CT.<\/p>\n
