Nebraska avenged its game-1 loss be winning 5-3 at #4 Texas, as part of 11 upset losses suffered on Saturday by teams in the CB360 Composite National Rankings. Two other teams – #19 North Carolina (10-4 vs. #7 Florida St.) and Ball State (5-1 at #8 Louisville) – also knocked off top-10 teams, while #21 Alabama beat #17 Venderbilt for the second straight day (8-2) and San Diego clinched its home series vs. #22 Rice (6-4). St. Louis chipped in with an impressive doubleheader sweep of #25 Kansas (12-8/8-5), which one week earlier had won twice at then-#1 LSU.
