Former Oklahoma softball star Jordy Bahl threw out her first pitch as a Nebraska Cornhusker when she started against No. 7 Washington softball at the 2024 Puerto Vallarta College Challenge. 

Bahl threw a ball on her first pitch against Brooklyn Carter but then bounced back to even the count in a 10-pitch at-bat before recording her first strikeout. 

Bahl went on to strike the next batter, Jillian Celis, before walking Rylee Holtorf.  After Holtorf advanced to second on a wild pitch, Bahl walked Sydney Stewart but got Kinsey Fielder to pop-up. 

It took Bahl just under 40 pitches to get out of the first inning. 

Bahl, a junior, transferred to Nebraska's softball program after two incredibly successful seasons at Oklahoma, where she was part of back-to-back Women's College World Series titles. Bahl was a two-time All-American and the 2024 Most Outstanding Player in the Women's College World Series. 

She was 22-1 in 33 appearances and had 192 strikeouts. She threw 24.2 scoreless innings in the WCWS and went 4-0. 

Bahl's debut comes at the same tournament that features her former team, but Nebraska is not playing Oklahoma in Puerto Vallarta. The Sooners went 2-0 on day one with a 13-0 win over Utah Valley and a 3-0 win over No. 10 Duke.
