A Milestone for the Program
The Cornhusker faithful gathered at Haymarket Park this week as Nebraska prepares to host its first NCAA Baseball Regional since 2008, a milestone that has been chased by the program for years.
Coach Will Bolt, who took the helm in 2019, has turned that ambition into a concrete plan, guiding the team through a rigorous schedule that culminates in a Friday night showdown with South Dakota State at 3 p.m.
On the mound, right‑hander Carson Jasa will take the ball, bringing a 3.78 earned‑run average and 109 strikeouts to the contest, statistics that have earned him a prominent role in the rotation.
The regional field also includes Ole Miss and Arizona State, both of which arrived in Lincoln after their own conference tournaments, adding depth and experience to the competition.
Thursday’s practice session saw all squads fine‑tune their strategies, while post‑game interviews with players and coaches offered a glimpse of the excitement that fans can expect throughout the weekend.
From Friday through Monday, Haymarket Park will serve as the battleground for a series of games that could reshape the Huskers’ season, drawing attention from alumni, local businesses, and the broader college baseball community.
