LINCOLN, Neb. — Husker softball fever is spiking as No. 19 Nebraska stunned No. 7 Tennessee 5-2 in Game 1 of the Knoxville Super Regional, moving the Big Red one victory away from its first Women’s College World Series trip since 2014. Power + pitching • Ace Jordy Bahl (26-6) tossed a complete-game, six-strikeout gem and stole a base while scoring twice, pushing her NCAA-tournament record to an eye-popping 11-0. • Freshman Hannah Camenzind launched her 10th homer—one of just six surrendered all season by SEC Pitcher of the Year Karlyn Pickens—to ignite a three-run fourth inning. • Samantha Bland and Arizona transfer Olivia DiNardo each drove in key runs to keep the Vols on their heels. Why the win matters • Nebraska (43-13) owns a 1-0 edge in the best-of-three series; one more win punches the Huskers’ eighth WCWS ticket. • Friday’s upset marked the program’s first top-10 triumph since the season-opening win—also over Tennessee. • The Huskers have rattled off four straight NCAA-tournament wins for only the fourth time in school history. Record watch • Bahl is the first Husker ever to eclipse 70 runs scored in a season (71). • Four different Huskers now have double-digit homers, a single-season school record. What’s next Game 2 is set for Saturday, May 24 at 4 p.m. CT on ESPN, with an if-necessary Game 3 on Sunday. Fans can also stream audio on the Huskers Radio Network.
