The #22 Washington Huskies edged out the #9 Nebraska Cornhuskers 3-2 in the final game of the UTSA Invitational. Nebraska pitcher Jordy Frahm had 10 strikeouts but also 3 wild pitches, and a pair of Husker errors helped Washington score the winning run in the bottom of the 7th inning.

Why it matters

This close loss to a top-25 opponent shows the Huskers are a strong team capable of competing with the best, but also highlights areas they need to improve, like limiting mistakes and wild pitches. The teams may meet again in the Big Ten Tournament or NCAA Tournament, making this an important early-season matchup.
