No. 10 Nebraska softball steamrolled No. 13 South Carolina and Hawaii, beating them by a combined 22-1 in a pair of mercy-rule wins at the Mary Nutter Classic in Cathedral City, Calif. After the Cornhuskers (8-4) defeated the Gamecocks (8-3), 9-1 in 5 innings, a no-hitter by Hannah Camenzind propelled NU to a 13-0, 5-inning win over the Rainbow Wahine (5-7).
Camenzind’s no-hitter was the 41st in school history. It was the first for Nebraska since Jordy Frahm threw a six-inning no-hitter against Northern Colorado on Feb. 15, 2025. Camenzind (2-0) walked two and hit a batter while striking out two. Meanwhile, Camenzind was central to the offensive outburst as well, hitting 3-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI. Her twin sister, Lauren, was 2-for-3 with two doubles and three RBI, including a bases-clearing double that got the Huskers on the board in the second inning. Jesse Farrell and Malia Thoms all homered while Ava Kuszak hit a two-run triple to pace the NU offense.
In the earlier game against South Carolina, the Huskers took control in the bottom of the third inning. Farrell lined a two-run triple to right to get Nebraska on the board. Kuszak followed with a two-run home run to push the lead to 4-0. The Gamecocks scored a run in the top of the fourth, but the Huskers answered in the bottom of the fifth. Carlie Muhlbach drove in a run with a single to boost the lead to 5-1. Muhlbach’s pinch runner, Samantha Bland, scored on an error on a ball hit by Kacie Hoffmann. Coor followed with a two-run home run that opened the lead to 8-1. Later in the inning, Farrell singled to right to bring on the mercy rule.
Alexis Jensen (4-1) earned the win, allowing one earned run in three innings. Jordy Frahm earned her fourth save, throwing two shutout innings.
Nebraska is next in action Saturday at 7 p.m. against No. 11 Texas A&M, the seventh game by the Huskers against an SEC team. NU is 3-3 through the first six.
