Davis Hits Grand-Slam In 8th To Lead Fullerton Past Nebraska In Stillwater Regional

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) -- J.D. Davis hit a two-out, eighth-inning grand slam, lifting Cal State Fullerton to a 5-1 victory over Nebraska in the first game of the Stillwater regional Friday.

Third-seeded Fullerton (33-22) won its eighth straight and advanced to Saturday's winners' bracket matchup against the winner of Friday night's Oklahoma State-Binghamton contest.

No. 2 Nebraska (40-20) will play in the consolation bracket Saturday.
