The Nebraska Cornhuskers saw their 2026 baseball season draw to a close on Sunday, as they fell to both Ole Miss and Arizona State in the Lincoln Regional.
A Narrow Missed Opportunity
A weather delay pushed the start of the Ole Miss matchup into the ninth inning, and the Huskers entered the frame trailing, setting the stage for a desperate comeback.
Nebraska managed to tie the game twice, but each rally was halted just short of the winning run, leaving the tying runner on base in both the eighth and ninth innings.
The team finished the year with a 43‑17 record, the most wins for Nebraska since the 57‑15 season of 2005, and earned their 20th appearance at the NCAA Regional level.
This milestone also marked the first regional berth for the program since 2008, underscoring the progress made under the current coaching staff.
Ole Miss ultimately captured the regional title with a walk‑off hit over Arizona State, ending the Huskers' campaign on a bittersweet note.
