Jordy. Bahl was masterful in the circle Friday afternoon as the No. 16 Nebraska Cornhuskers dropped a heartbreak to the No. 11 Duke Blue Devils, 3-0, at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic in Cathedral City, Calif.
Bahl had a no-hitter through seven innings before Duke produced its only two hits of the game and scored three runs in the top of the eighth inning, which began with a runner placed on second base due to the international tiebreaker.

The Huskers out-hit the Blue Devils 5-2 but couldn’t get the timely ones going 0-for-14 with runners on base and 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position.
Nebraska had a runner on third in two of the first four innings but couldn’t capitalize, including an early opportunity in the first when a runner was thrown out at home.
Despite a dominant performance, Bahl (4-2) took the loss. She allowed just two singles and carried a no-hitter through seven innings while striking out 10. Duke managed only one baserunner past first base during that stretch.
