The Nebraska softball team took part in its fall portion of the 2023-24 season. The season involved an eight-game stretch for the Huskers across the first two weeks of October.
The Huskers played six games at home, where they went 6-0 and traveled to Kansas City for two games, where they went 1-1. The loss came against South Dakota State in a 1-0 shutout. Nebraska earned its seven wins against Omaha, Kansas City, Creighton, South Dakota and Colorado State. The Huskers clashed with Colorado State three times, each one resulting in wins.
Oklahoma transfer Jordy Bahl led Nebraska both at the pitcher’s mound and the batter’s box throughout the eight games. In the win against Omaha, Bahl delivered two hits, two runs and an RBI off four at-bats. She also had three hits, an RBI and a run off three at-bats in the win over Creighton.
On the mound, Bahl struck out 13 batters in the loss to Kansas City and gave up just four hits and one run. She also pitched a shutout win in the first game against Colorado State, firing five strikeouts and only surrendering one hit.
Nebraska also took the fall season as an opportunity to retire Taylor Edwards’ jersey number, making her the sixth Husker in program history to receive the honor.
#12, Edwards | Forever etched in Husker Softball history.
Incredibly proud & honored to announce @TayEdwards212 #12 will be hung on the Bowlin Stadium press box as the sixth retired jersey in our program's history.
Congratulations Tay, GBR!!! pic.twitter.com/L9IEEzwZfH
