Nebraska’s season ends with losses to Ole Miss and Arizona State
Nebraska baseball (43-17), following a weather delay, concluded its showdown against No. 18 Ole Miss (38-21) and then faced No. 22 Arizona State (39-20) on Sunday. The Huskers fell in both, ending their season.
Nebraska’s battle with the Rebels started on Saturday night, but rain delayed the ninth inning to Sunday afternoon. Ole Miss built a 6-1 lead over the Huskers across the final four innings after Nebraska scored a run in the fourth. The Huskers picked up two runs in the eighth before the delay but came up short on Sunday.
Nebraska then had to quickly turn around and battle the Sun Devils less than two hours afterwards in the elimination game. Arizona State built a massive 11-1 lead over the Huskers heading into the seventh. Despite Nebraska closing the deficit to 11-8, it came up short in the end.
Nebraska totaled eight hits and one error against the Rebels, then picked up 11 hits and two errors against the Sun Devils. Ole Miss tallied nine hits, and Arizona State snatched 13.
The Huskers also earned three home runs across the two games. Max Buettenback and Jett Buck accounted for all three runs scored by Nebraska against Ole Miss. Buettenback struck a two-run home run while Buck launched a solo shot. Joshua Overbeek then delivered a solo home run against Arizona State, finishing the two games batting 4-for-7. Jeter Worthley also finished with four hits, going 4-for-10. Dylan Carey hit 3-of-7.
Ty Horn (3-3) took the loss against Ole Miss in his start at the mound following 5.2 innings pitched. He threw nine strikeouts against six hits, three runs and two walks. Gavin Blachowicz (4-4) fell in his start at the mound against Arizona State, throwing two strikeouts and surrendering six hits and five runs.
Nebraska finishes the season having hosted its first NCAA regional since 2008 and making its 20th regional appearance. The Huskers also reached 40 wins in a season for the 19th time in program history.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (KNOP) – Get ready for a stretch of absolutely gorgeous weather to kick off your weekend but keep an eye on the heat building as we head into next week.
This Weekend: Perfect Conditions
Saturday and Sunday are shaping up to be nearly identical — sunny skies with highs climbing to around 89 and 90 degrees respectively. A light south southeast breeze at 5 to 10 mph will keep things comfortable, though gusts could reach 20 mph at times. Overnight lows will dip to the low 60s, making for pleasant sleeping weather.
This is ideal weather for outdoor plans. Whether you’re heading to a summer event, spending time at the lake, or just enjoying time outside, you won’t want to miss it.
Early Next Week: Heat Turns Up
Starting Monday, temperatures begin a steady climb. Highs will reach 91 degrees Monday, then 91 again Tuesday before pushing toward 92 on Wednesday. By Thursday and Friday, we’re looking at highs near 94 to 95 degrees.
The good news? Skies remain sunny throughout, and humidity levels should stay relatively manageable. The breeze will be light, so it won’t feel quite as intense as it could.
