Jordy Bahl's two-homer day powers Nebraska softball to run rule win over UConn in NCAA Regional

BATON ROUGE, La. (WOWT) – Jordy Bahl homered twice and was spotless in three innings of work in Nebraska’s 10-2 NCAA Tournament win over UConn Friday.

The victory puts Nebraska in the winner’s bracket of the Baton Rogue Regional, where they will face the winner of LSU and Southeastern Louisiana on Saturday at 12:00pm.

Bahl began the Huskers scoring, drawing a bases loaded walk that forced Bacon home from third. After an Ava Kuszak groundout scored Ava Bredwell, Olivia DiNardo cracked a two-run single to make it 4-0 Nebraska.

In the bottom of the third, Bahl crushed a 1-0 pitch over the centerfield wall for a three-run homer to break the game open at 7-0. The home run marked the Papillion native’s 20th of the season, making her the fourth ever NCAA player to have 20+ wins in the circle and 20+ home runs at the plate in the same season.

It didn’t take long for her to get her 21st. In the bottom of the fifth, Bahl cracked a solo homer that made it 8-2 Nebraska.

In the circle, Bahl struck out three over three hitless innings. Kylee Magee picked up the win for the Huskers, tossing three frames while surrendering the lone blemish to UConn in the form of a Cat Petteys two-run homer.
