The Nebraska Cornhuskers baseball team has secured their spot in the 2025 NCAA Men’s College World Series (MCWS) in Omaha, Nebraska, following a series of impressive performances throughout the season. Under the guidance of head coach Will Bolt, the Cornhuskers showcased resilience and skill, culminating in their qualification for the prestigious tournament.
Throughout the season, Nebraska demonstrated a balanced approach to the game. The team’s offense was powered by standout players such as Dylan Carey, a junior shortstop, and Cael Frost, a senior outfielder. Carey, known for his consistency at the plate, provided stability in the lineup, while Frost’s power-hitting ability added depth to the offense. On the mound, the Cornhuskers relied on the arm of Mason McConnaughey, a junior right-handed pitcher who earned preseason All-American honors. McConnaughey’s dominance on the mound was complemented by the pitching prowess of Ty Horn, a sophomore right-handed pitcher, who consistently delivered strong performances throughout the season.
A pivotal moment in Nebraska’s journey came during the Big Ten Tournament, where the Cornhuskers clinched the championship title. In a remarkable 5-0 victory over UCLA, Nebraska showcased their pitching depth and offensive firepower. Sophomore Ty Horn delivered a career-best performance, throwing eight scoreless innings, while the offense capitalized on key opportunities to secure the win. This victory not only earned the Cornhuskers the Big Ten Tournament title but also solidified their position in the NCAA Tournament.
Advancing to the NCAA Tournament, Nebraska faced formidable opponents in the Chapel Hill Regional. Despite a challenging 17-1 loss to Oklahoma, the Cornhuskers managed to secure a single regional win, offering a foundation for returning players and valuable postseason experience. This experience will undoubtedly serve as motivation as they prepare for the upcoming MCWS in Omaha.
As the Cornhuskers head to Omaha, they carry with them the pride of their Big Ten Championship and the anticipation of competing on college baseball’s grandest stage. The 2025 MCWS promises to be an exciting chapter in Nebraska’s baseball history, and fans are eager to support their team as they aim for national glory.
