Knoxville Super Regional Schedule Revealed; Nebraska, Tennessee Open Play Friday

Nebraska (42-13) and Tennessee (43-14) will open play Friday at 6 p.m. CDT on ESPN2. Game 2 is slated for 4 p.m. CDT on Saturday with the television designation to be determined.

If a Game 3 is necessary, the time and telvision designation are to be determined.

Nebraska's run through the Baton Rouge Regional was historic. The Huskers won 10-2, 14-1, and 8-0, without ever having to face host and No. 10 national seed LSU. NU outscored the rest of the regional 32-28 and was not involved in three of the games.

Big Ten Player and Pitcher of the Year Jordy Bahl was magnificent throughout the weekend. Bahl went 5-for-5 at the plate, launching four home runs and taking seven walks. She's up to 23 home runs on the season, a program record.

In the circle, Bahl allowed just just one run and two hits in 12.0 innings with 16 strikeouts. Coach Rhonda Revelle was efficient in Bahl's use over the first two games, pulling her after the third inning with large leads thanks to Nebraska's explosive offense.

Tennessee went undefeated in their regional as well. The Volunteers routed Miami (OH) 17-0 in five innings before holding off Ohio State twice, 4-2 and 5-0.

Nebraska and Tennessee met in the season-opener on Feb. 6 in Clearwater, Florida. The Huskers were victorious in that, 7-1.
