Nebraska softball pitcher Jordy Bahl out for season after one game

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Nebraska Athletics announced on Tuesday that a knee injury suffered in the season opener will keep softball pitcher Jordy Bahl out for the rest of the season.

The standout hurler posted a statement on social media about her ACL injury:

“I’m not going anywhere. See you in 2025,” she wrote in the post.

With two runners on and one out in the third inning, Bahl appeared to suffer the injury as she delivered a pitch at the Thursday Feb. 8 game in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Bahl will apply for a medical hardship for the 2024 season, leaving her two seasons of eligibility remaining in 2025 and 2026.

“Obviously, we are all disappointed to hear the news of Jordy’s season-ending knee injury,” Head Coach Rhonda Revelle said in a statement. “We are grateful that Jordy is in excellent care with our medical team and are confident in a full recovery. ... The 2024 season is young, and we are a veteran team with strong leadership that is coming off back-to-back NCAA Regional appearances. We all remain committed to playing an exciting and competitive brand of softball. We look forward to seeing Husker Nation at Bowlin Stadium this season.”
