Frahm’s Strikeout Spectacle Shuts Out the Spartans

Senior right-hander Jordy Frahm dominated East Lansing, firing a complete-game shutout with 12 strikeouts and just two hits allowed, leading No. 9 Nebraska to a 2-0 victory over Michigan State. The win extended the Cornhuskers’ streak to 11 games and moved them to 22-5 overall (4-0 in Big Ten play). Head coach Rhonda Revelle notched her 1,200th career win. At the plate, Nebraska racked up 11 hits but stranded 13 runners; Hannah Camenzind and Jesse Farrell delivered the only RBIs. Farrell, back from concussion protocol, chipped in a home run and a double, accounting for the game’s second run in the fifth inning. Michigan State’s only offense came via singles from Hannah Hawley and Sydney Doloszycki, while Spartans pitchers Jacey Schuler and Autumn Behlke combined on five earned runs across seven innings. Inclement weather forced the teams into a Saturday doubleheader, with both games streamed on B1G+ and broadcast on the Huskers Radio Network.

It’s never a bad day when you’re the only batter in the circle not getting schooled by the spin doctor—in this case, that’s Frahm tossing more K’s than a Scrabble board. Nebraska’s bats couldn’t decide if they were playing hot-cold, leaving 13 runners stranded like abandoned carnival rides. And coach Revelle? She’s over 1,200 wins now, which is about 1,199 more victories than most folks have trips to the grocery store. Michigan State’s hitters looked like they were auditioning for an epic ghost story—but the only thing haunting them was Frahm’s heater. Grab your popcorn for the doubleheader—because nothing says “thrill ride” like watching a pitching duel and hoping neither team trips over their own bats.
