The Nebraska softball team finished third-place in the regular season Big Ten Conference standings with a 4-1 victory over Wisconsin in front of the third-largest crowd in school history on Saturday at Bowlin Stadium.

The Huskers unofficially set a new record for the World’s Largest Softball Tailgate on Saturday, drawing 1,752 fans to the event. Illinois held the record with 1,445 fans in attendance at its 2007 World’s Largest Softball Tailgate. Saturday’s Husker crowd was the third-largest in school history.

Nebraska ended the season with a 33-22 record, including a 15-1 record at Bowlin Stadium. The Huskers finished 14-9 in conference play, finishing third in the league standings. Senior right-hander Ashley Hagemann (23-17) earned the win (75th of her career) in her final start. She fired a three-hitter, allowing only one run and striking out six.

The Nebraska softball team ended a tough weekend with a 4-2 loss at Indiana in the final game of the three-game series on Sunday afternoon at the IU Softball Field. Despite out-hitting the Hoosiers all weekend, the Huskers never led in the series.

Nebraska fell behind in the first inning for the third straight game. IU jumped on top with a bloop double, a bunt single and a three-run homer gave the Hoosiers a 3-0 lead three batters into the bottom of the first off right-hander Ashley Hagemann (22-16) who took the loss, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits in a complete-game effort. Hagemann added five strikeouts and walked only one.

The Huskers answered in the top of the second. Junior Gabby Banda led off with a single, stole second and scored on an RBI double from senior Ashley Guile. Then with two outs, Guile scored from third on a two-out, RBI single from classmate Madison Drake. Drake then stole second before senior Nikki Haget singled up the middle. Drake tried to score on the play but was thrown out. Indiana then added an insurance run in the bottom of the fourth thanks to a Husker error.

Nebraska wraps up its season next weekend with a three-game series against Wisconsin on Friday and Saturday at Bowlin Stadium.
