#4 Huskers Edge Rutgers 5-3

Fourth-ranked Nebraska held off Rutgers late to win 5-3, with Jordy Frahm earning her ninth save of the season.

Nebraska (29-6, 10-1 Big Ten) appeared to be cruising before Rutgers scored twice in the seventh inning to cut the Huskers' lead to 5-3 with runners on base. Jordy Frahm came in to close and secured three crucial outs, including a strikeout to end the game.

Frahm's ninth save of the season sets a new Nebraska single-season record. The Huskers also received standout defensive plays, including a catch by Hannah Coor in the second inning and a home run by Hannah Camenzind in the third, despite facing strong winds blowing in from left field.
