And it was decisive. Also, we checked your thoughts on softball’s chances of hosting regionals.
If we’re honest – and I think most people are about this – there was not a great deal of hype surrounding the Spring Game this year.

Our first question was simple – which player popped for you the most? And, surprisingly to me, there was a solid majority who wasn’t Jamal Rule. Question #2 involved the Huskers Softball team who who won a series with #7 UCLA and in so doing rose as high as #4 in the national rankings, and, more importantly, #2 in the national RPI.
The #2 was short-lived, however. A Tuesday night 8-2 victory over Creighton – ranked #151 in RPI – dealt a negative jab to the formula and the Huskers dropped back to #3. The lesson, as always?
