The Nebraska baseball team earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
The Huskers are headed to the Corvallis regional hosted by top overall seed Oregon State.
NU will be the #2 seed in the regional & will face the #3 seed Yale on Friday at 3 p.m. Central time on ESPN3. While the Big Red was #44 in the RPI, Yale comes in with the #48 RPI. The Bulldogs have won eight straight and are 32-16 on the season.
It marks the third time in the last four years the Big Red has made a regional. The Beavers will play Holy Cross at 10 p.m. Central Friday in Corvallis.
