Frahm&#8217;s solo homer in the first remains the game&#8217;s only hit.<\/p>\n<p>Nebraska pitcher Jordy\u00a0Frahm is perfect through two innings with three strikeouts and 21 total pitches.<\/p>\n<p>One thing about Texas starter Teagan Kavan: She keeps her poise. After the leadoff homer in the first, Kavan has retired six straight batters.<\/p>\n<p>Jordy\u00a0Frahm needs just nine pitches\u00a0to send down the top of the Texas order. Vivi Martinez only struck out seven times all season entering the\u00a0WCWS but has now fanned in each of the past two games.<\/p>\n<p>Jordy\u00a0Frahm blasts a leadoff homer into the centerfield stands for her first dinger since May 3 and her 20th of the season. The best player in the nation gives Nebraska an early lead against Texas ace Teagan Kavan.<\/p>\n<p>Texas is the designated home team, which means Nebraska hits first. Teagan Kavan throws a strike to Jordy Frahm in a matchup between two All-Americans, and we&#8217;re off at the WCWS.<\/p>\n<p>Nebraska will turn to Jordy Frahm, the 2026 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year and NFCA Player of the Year. She boasts a 21-5 with a 1.30 ERA and 12 saves, which ties the Big Ten single-season record and ranks sixth in NCAA history. She&#8217;s also tossed eight shutouts and has struck out 246 batters and only walked 32. But in two games and 12 innings at the WCWS, Frahm has just a 3.50 ERA and a 1.417 WHIP.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, Frahm also hits leadoff and\u00a0leads the Nebraska offense with a .404 batting average, 19 home runs, 50 RBIs and 59 runs scored. She has a slugging percentage of .798 and an on-base percentage of .498.<\/p>\n<p>Texas coach Mike White will counter with ace Teagan Kavan, last season&#8217;s Most Outstanding Player of the WCWS. She brings a 26-6 record, a 2.45 ERA, a 1.11 WHIP and 235 strikeouts with 57 walks in 205\u2153 innings.<\/p>\n<p>Where: Devon Park, Oklahoma City<\/p>\n<p>TV\/radio: ABC; texaslonghorns.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With one loss apiece in the Women\u2019s College World Series, there\u2019s no more room for error for\u00a0Texas softball&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":316803,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[46014,776,27,29,537,28703,28,93799,9228,63517,63518],"class_list":["post-316802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-college-softball","tag-nebraska-cornhuskers","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-longhorns","tag-texas-longhorns-softball","tag-texas-news","tag-time-sensitive","tag-ttp-live-blog","tag-wcws","tag-women-s-college-world-series"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=316802"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316802\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/316803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=316802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=316802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=316802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
