Six-Run Fourth Inning Propels Huskers to Series Win

The No. 7 Nebraska softball team scored six runs in the fourth inning and claimed a 6-0 win over the Badgers on Saturday afternoon in Madison, Wisc.

 

With the victory, NU improved to 32-6 on the season and 13-1 in Big Ten play. 

 

Jordy Frahm (11-4) claimed the win in the circle, tossing a two-hit shutout with five strikeouts and no walks. Frahm also dealt a no-hitter through six innings. Kendra Lewis (3-4) took the loss for Wisconsin.

 

Offensively, NU logged nine hits on the day. Hannah Coor and Alexis Jensen were responsible for two RBIs apiece, with Jensen knocking a two-run shot. Hannah Camenzind and Jesse Farrell each logged an RBI on the day, while Frahm contributed two hits with a double. Ava Kuszak also contributed a double.

 

Kuszak opened the fourth inning with a double down the left field line and went to third on a wild pitch. She scored on a Farrell single. Jensen followed them up with a two-run homer before Hoffmann singled and Frahm doubled, and Frahm and Hoffmann’s pinch runner, Katelyn Caneda, crossed the plate on a Coor single. H. Camenzind singled to send Coor across the plate and give Nebraska a 6-0 lead, which it would maintain for the rest of the game. 

 

The Huskers and Badgers will face off one more time tomorrow, April 12, at 12 p.m. (CT) in Madison, Wisc. The game will be streamed on B1G+ and can be heard across the Huskers Radio Network.
