Jordy Bahl was cruising along in the bottom of the 5th inning getting ready to put the finishing touches on a 9-0 run-rule one-hit shutout victory. There was a runner on second compliments of a walk and a wild pitch, but she was still one strike away from a quick ending when the #9 hitter in the order, Jade Bubke bombed a shot toward the Lake Washington to make it 9-2 and extend the game for another inning.
In the top of the 6th inning, Ava Kuszak appeared to have given the Nebraska Cornhuskers the early win once again as, with runners on the corners, she smashed a 3-run bomb toward the bay, her second home run of the night and the Huskers were back up 12-2 and again looking good for an early finish.
