After being pushed back multiple times due to weather and scheduling issues, the Huskers finally returned to play baseball in the state of Nebraska. In what was their first visit to the Omaha Mavericks baseball/softball complex that opened in 2020, which had a record crowd of 3,009 fans (and one concession stand), the Huskers would be walked off in the bottom of the 9th on a bloop single to lose, 4-3. This despite the career day from Husker freshman Core Jackson.
Jackson was the star on offense and defense for Nebraska, as he made his first start at SS, trying to solve the puzzle that has been one of the surprising weaknesses for the Huskers to start the season.
