Now that the most successful Nebraska Cornhuskers basketball season in the school's history is in the books, it's time to turn attention to the baseball and softball teams. Luckily, both Will Bolt and Rhonda Revelle's squads are having very good campaigns so far. In fact, both are doing so well that they are ranked and projected to host regionals.
The Nebraska baseball team moved up from No. 24 to No. 19 in this week's polls after sweeping the Indiana Hoosiers over the weekend. One projection has them projected to be the No. 15 seed and hosting Southern Miss, Winthrop, and Southeast Missouri State.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers softball team took two of three from No. 7 UCLA and moved up to No. 5 in the latest rankings. Revelle's squad is now predicted to win the Big Ten, having moved into first with the weekend wins, and be the No. 2 seed, hosting South Carolina, Omaha, and Siena. There's still quite a bit of season left, especially for the baseball team, but both units are having fantastic 2026 campaigns.

- Former Nebraska Cornhuskers baseball star Brice Matthews is having a nice start to his 2026 season with the Houston Astros. After getting a cup of coffee late in the year last summer, he started opening day for Houston earlier this month, and on Monday, he blasted his first home run of the season. A no-doubter into the seats. While he played shortstop for the Huskers, he's playing mostly left field at the major league level.
