Huskers Advance in Regional Play
Nebraska’s baseball team opened its home Regional with a decisive 4‑1 victory over South Dakota State, marking the Huskers’ first Regional win since 2008 and rewarding the crowd that turned out to see the historic moment.
A Pitcher’s Night to Remember
On the mound, Carson Jasa delivered a solid 6.1 innings, striking out eight batters while allowing just one run. His effort kept the opposition at bay and gave the Huskers a comfortable cushion heading into the later frames.
The game swung in Nebraska’s favor late, as Dylan Carey and Jett Buck launched solo homers in the eighth inning that stretched the lead and energized the lineup. Both blasts came off a tired pitching staff, underscoring the team’s resilience.
Relief pitcher J’Shawn Unger sealed the win with 2.2 shutout innings, earning his 13th save of the season and showcasing the depth of the bullpen as the team looks to maintain momentum.
Nebraska will now await the outcome of the Arizona State versus Ole Miss matchup, a contest that will determine their next opponent. The showdown is slated for Saturday at 7 p.m. Central Time and will be streamed live on ESPN+.
