Bahl Named Big Ten Pitcher of the Week

Nebraska softball pitcher Jordyn Bahl earned Big Ten Pitcher of the Week honors, the conference announced on Tuesday. This is Bahl’s second weekly honor of the season, as she was also named the Pitcher of the Week on Feb. 17. 

 

Bahl pitched 8.1 innings in the series against Minnesota and had an ERA of 0.00 over the course of the weekend, which consisted of three wins for NU. The Papillion, Neb., native claimed the victory in the Huskers’ first game against the Gophers and recorded a save in game two of the series. She limited her opponents to a .077 batting average and only allowed one hit out of the infield across her 8.1 innings. Overall, Bahl allowed no runs and only two hits while striking out nine batters.

 

The junior pitched the majority of her innings in Friday’s 8-0, six-inning win. In that matchup, she threw a complete game, allowing no runs and only one hit and striking out seven batters. 

 

Ohio State’s Morgan Frye was named the Big Ten Player of the Week while Michigan’s Lauren Putz was the Freshman of the Week.
