Nebraska Softball: Jordy Bahl Remembers Late Country Music Star

The junior pitcher celebrated winning a national title last season with avid Oklahoma fan Toby Keith.

As a member of the Oklahoma Sooners, junior pitcher Jordy Bahl won back-to-back national championships in front of thousands of fans. 

One of those fans was country music superstar Toby Keith.

Bahl had the opportunity to meet Keith after the 2023 Women's College World Series and celebrated with him on stage at Toby Keith's Bar and Grill in Oklahoma City. She posted both on social media on Tuesday.

You don’t get to know a man in 1 night, but enough to say all of those things are true. Just a God-fearing, American patriot, truly living for every second.❤️

The song “My List” hits a little different today. Thanks for sharing your heart through your music Toby.❤️ https://t.co/juyN4HK8wj pic.twitter.com/8rYUTD9M0K

ESPN's Holly Rowe also shared a video from the front row of Bahl singing with Keith on his smash hit "How Do You Like Me Now?" 

Sooner celebration.
