No. 20 Nebraska baseball coach Will Bolt challenged his team following its 10-5 loss to Illinois in Champaign Friday night, and the result was as he intended. The Huskers won the next two games to take the series. “They didn’t really have each other’s backs is how...

Seven innings into the weekend series against 12th-ranked USC, Nebraska trailed 7-2. Mason Edwards, the Trojans’ ace, had struck out 12. Enter the USC bullpen. At that point you wouldn’t have expected a Husker victory, much less a series sweep. But a three-run home...

Where to begin? With the end of Tuesday night’s Nebraska baseball win over Creighton at Haymarket Park, of course. The No. 25 Huskers edged the Bluejays for the second time this season, the final 5-4. Nebraska beat Creighton in the first meeting in Omaha 6-5, in case...

Six innings into the first game of the Nebraska baseball series with Oregon in Eugene Friday, the 19-ranked Huskers trailed the 21st-ranked Ducks by five, 7-2. Game over, right? Well, yes and no. Nebraska scored four runs in the eighth inning to pull within 7-6 and...

Coach Will Bolt mentioned a way to success following 19th-ranked Nebraska’s 8-6 victory against Penn State on a sunny Easter Sunday at Haymarket Park. “We’ve had some big innings offensively,” he said. “That usually is a pretty good indicator of a win when you have at...

The No. 19 Nebraska baseball team renewed its rivalry with in-state rivals Creighton for the first time in 2026 Tuesday night. Nebraska (23-6) scored six runs off 10 hits and one error, defeating Creighton 6-5 at Charles Schwab Field. "It feels good," Nebraska...

As you no doubt know, Nebraska baseball has won 14 of its last 15 games, beginning with an 11-game winning streak. The Huskers have been impressive following a 5-5 start. The streak of victories isn’t the focus, however. The next game is. “I think standing where your...

All good things must come to an end, to begin with a cliché. And so it was with Nebraska baseball’s 11-game winning streak. The Huskers lost the opener of a three-game Big Ten series at Michigan Friday, 2-1. But they recovered to start a new streak, winning 10-0...

Maintain that winning mindset. That was Coach Will Bolt’s message in a nutshell to his Nebraska baseball team following its 10-1 victory at Wichita State Wednesday. The victory was Nebraska’s 11th in a row. The 10th was 8-1 at Wichita State Tuesday. “I think (what) I...

Nebraska baseball’s Rhett Stokes was asked what the pitch was. It might’ve been a “cutter, slider,” he said. But, he added with a smile, it was really just a matter of “see ball, hit ball.” Which he did, with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning of Sunday’s...

Never mind the opponent, that Nebraska’s 11-1 win against North Dakota State Wednesday dropped the Bison to 2-14 or that this weekend’s opponent for three games at Haymarket Park, Maine, is 2-13. A win is a win, and the Huskers, 11-5 with six consecutive wins, aren’t...
