Nebraska Softball Coach Rhonda Revelle Discusses Strategy in Lincoln Regional
Jesse Farrell drove in 5 runs and Jordy Frahm pitched a complete game as Nebraska took a 1-0 series lead.
On Friday, No. 4-ranked Nebraska defeated Oklahoma State 8-1 in the Lincoln Super Regional opener at Bowlin Stadium, with the Huskers tallying 12 hits and committing zero errors.
Oklahoma State coach Kenny Gajewski pulled pitcher Ruby Meylan early to stabilize the game and limit Nebraska's scouting opportunities against his pitching staff.
Nebraska pitcher Jordy Frahm earned her 20th win with seven strikeouts in a complete-game performance, while Jesse Farrell led the offense, going 2-for-4 with five RBIs and a home run.
Oklahoma State freshman Makala Smith made her collegiate debut in the fifth inning, and Game 2 is scheduled for Saturday at 4 p.m. on ESPN2.
Smith's appearance burns her redshirt, though rule change proposals could preserve future eligibility; Nebraska stands one win away from its first Women's College World Series berth since 2013.
