Nebraska will host an NCAA super regional beginning Friday, June 1, hosting Rice in a best-of-three series, with each game slated for a 1:05pm first pitch. If the Huskers prevail, they will make their first-ever trip to the College World Series.
The super regional at Buck Beltzer Field in Lincoln will also be a retirement party of sorts for the lovable steel and chain-link ballyard. The Huskers will play next season in the new Haymarket Park.
