Incidental contact. 

It'll get overturned, though. Reviews are never kind to us. 

Agree to disagree.  Looked to me like she knew what she was doing when she raked the ball out of the glove.  This overturn I can accept but that denied challenge earlier at 3rd base was pathetic.

4-2- solo HR by NW in B6

NW dugout has zero rhythm lol. The dancing is cringe lol

4-3

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,925]

We've left 10 on base today.  Hope that doesn't end up biting us in the keister.  3 more out ladies.  Just 3 more outs.

I'd be okay if for the tournament the Big Ten had former players announcing instead of someone like Lisa Byington but what gives.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,925]

Got our work cut out for us today down 3-0 after just 2 innings.  Copeland started but lasted just 1 batter into the 2nd inning giving up 2 solo HRs.  Kleiman came on but a couple of walks, a wild pitch and an RBI single and it's a 3-0 game. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,925]

A Sarah Stone solo HR in our 4th cuts the Husker lead to 3-1.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,925]

A Copeland RBI single in the 5th cuts it to 3-2.

Huskers loaded the bases in their 5th but a ground out ended the threat.

[LamarCheeks 17,180]

Cooper ties it with a solo shot! 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,925]

Tied at 3!!  Cooper with a solo HR in our 7th after Nebraska allowed her foul ball drop between 3 fielders.
