NU TOSSES COMBINED NO-HITTERA pair of newcomers teamed up to throw just the second combined no-hitter in Nebraska history on Feb. 7 against Montana. Freshman Kaylan Jablonski made her first career start and threw the first 3.0 innings of the six-inning no-hitter, while sophomore Cassie McClure closed out the final 3.0 innings and earned the win.

• The no-hitter was the 37th in program history.

• The no-hitter occurred in the third game of the season, making it the second-earliest no-hitter in school history.

• Despite throwing a no-hitter, Nebraska allowed four runs (two earned). The Grizzlies scored twice on RBI ground outs and twice on wild pitches.

• Although not a solo effort, Jablonski became just the sixth Husker freshman pitcher to be involved in a no-hitter.

HUSKERS HOPE FOR POTENT BATTERYNebraska has featured an All-America battery each of the last two seasons, highlighted by two-time All-America pitcher Tatum Edwards and her twin sister Taylor, the 2014 Division I Catcher of the Year and a two-time All-American.

On paper, NU boasted one of the nation’s top batteries entering this season. Junior right-hander Emily Lockman returned after earning first-team all-region honors in 2013 and 2014. Senior Steph Pasquale was a third-team All-America catcher at Temple in 2013, and she is also a two-time, first-team all-region performer.

LOCKMAN LOOKS TO BUILD ON SUCCESSJunior right-hander Emily Lockman, Nebraska’s lone returning pitcher, was one of the nation’s top pitchers the past two seasons. Although she has struggled this season, Lockman has proven ability in the circle.

• Lockman owns seven victories over ranked opponents in her career, including a victory over No. 10 Tennessee this season. As a freshman, Lockman earned a complete-game victory at No. 3 Oregon in the NCAA Super Regional championship game. As a sophomore, she earned the win at No. 14 Missouri in the 2014 NCAA Regional final.

• Lockman is one of only four pitchers nationally who earned first-team all-region recognition in both 2013 and 2014. Lockman joins James Madison’s Jailyn Ford as the only juniors among that quartet.
