Bahl Knocks Two Homers In Huskers' 10-2 Regional Win
Huskers.com

Jordyn Bahl hit two home runs and tossed 3.0 hitless innings, and the No. 19 Nebraska softball team downed the UConn Huskies, 10-2, in six innings in the regional round of the NCAA Tournament in Baton Rouge on Friday.

Bahl was 2-for-2 on the day with her two home runs, two walks and five RBIs, which put her at 21 home runs on the season and made her the fourth ever NCAA player to have 20+ wins in the circle and 20+ home runs at the plate in the same season. She also became the second Husker ever to record 60+ hits, runs and RBIs in a season.

Ava Kuszak, Abbie Squier and Ava Bredwell all added two hits on the day, Olivia DiNardo added two RBIs and Bella Bacon contributed two runs.

Kylee Magee (8-4) grabbed the win in the circle after pitching 3.0 innings of relief and allowing two runs. Payton Kinney (15-6) took the loss for UConn.

The Huskers moved to 40-13 on the season, while the Huskies fell to 35-18.

After leaving the bases loaded in the bottom of the first, NU loaded the bases again in the bottom of the second, as Bacon walked, Bredwell singled and Lauren Camenzind was hit by a pitch. Bahl walked to send Bacon across the plate and Bredwell scored on a Kuszak groundout. DiNardo singled to score L. Camenzind and Bahl, and DiNardo went to second on a throwing error. NU led 4-0 going into the third.

Squier hit a leadoff single to open the bottom of the third. Bacon was hit by a pitch and Katelyn Caneda pinch ran for her. Bahl knocked a three-run homer, her 20th of the season, to send Squier and Caneda home and extend the lead to 7-0.

UConn got on the board in the top of the fourth with a two-run home run.

Bahl hit a solo homer, her second home run of the day, to make the score 8-2.

Squier reached on an infield single, Bacon walked and Squier scored on a Bredwell single to stretch the lead to 9-2 in the bottom of the sixth. Bacon crossed the plate on a wild pitch to lock up the 10-2, six-inning win.

On Saturday, Nebraska will face the winner of the LSU-Southeastern Louisiana game from Friday night.

Southeastern Louisiana upsetting LSU has got to HELP us. If we can get by them we will have 2 tries to beat # 10 LSU and advance.

Fingers crossed. Bahl only had to pitch 3 innings Friday. It's setting up for us ?

You have to pitch her . It’s a winner bracket game. She only pitched 3 yesterday.

You don't have to. If you're a serious program you should beat a 4-seed with two hands behind your back ;P Already 3-0 Nebraska on a 3-run bomb.

Post season is the time to play your best cards and do what works. Shorten the game if you can with an explosive offense and save the arm.

And didn't need to start her in the first place. I've seen this in Lincoln with the baseball team. Get beat by some scrub four seed like Manhattan, then watch that team get obliterated in their next two games like their roster is made up of Make-A-Wish children. LSU should be ashamed. Will be funny if UConn eliminates them later. S-E-C! S-E-C!

Softball works differently than baseball. Nothing hurt at all by starting her and making sure you win. Someone like Jordy is used to pitching every day in a weekend tournament.

Huskers.com

Four Huskers hit home runs and the No. 19 Nebraska softball team defeated the Southeastern Louisiana Lions, 14-1, in five innings in the semifinals of the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional on Saturday afternoon.

Hannah Camenzind knocked a three-run homer in the third inning, Ava Kuszak hit a grand slam in the fourth and Jordyn Bahl and Samantha Bland went back-to-back in the fifth to account for nine RBIs. Abbie Squier and Bella Bacon each added two hits as the Big Red posted 14 runs, the most in program history for an NCAA Tournament game.

Bahl’s home run was her 22nd of the season, which ties the school record for home runs in a season. Kuszak’s homer was her 20th of the season, which helped mark the first time that a duo has recorded 20+ home runs apiece in a single season.

Bahl (24-6) also claimed the win in the circle, as she pitched 3.0 innings with only one hit and one run. H. Camenzind threw the final 2.0 innings and held SLU scoreless.

NU moved to 41-13 on the season, while the Lions fell to 49-15.

In the top of the first, Kuszak walked and Bland reached on a fielder's choice. Kuszak went to third and Bland went to second on a SLU error and H. Camenzind knocked a three-run homer to give NU a 3-0 lead.

Southeastern Louisiana got on the board in the bottom of the first with an RBI single to make the score 3-1.

DiNardo walked and Kennadi Williams pinch ran for her in the top of the third. H. Camenzind singled before a Bacon double sent Williams across the plate. H. Camenzind crossed the plate on a wild pitch, Bredwell and Bahl walked and Bacon scored on a Bland single. Kuszak knocked a grand slam, her second of the season, to clear the bases and make the score 10-1.

Squier doubled in the top of the fourth and Bacon reached on an error. Katelyn Caneda pinch ran for Bacon before Squier scored on a Bredwell sacrifice fly. Caneda crossed the plate on a wild pitch before Bahl and Bland knocked back-to-back home runs to extend the score to 14-1.
