Super Regional: Nebraska 6 - Miami 3
The Huskers are headed to Omaha!
Nebraska 6 - Miami 3. Nebraska wins the series 2 - 0.
The Huskers (56-13) are headed back to Rosenblatt Stadium, this time as a favorite to win their first postseason game in Omaha after disappointing visits in 2001 and ‘02. So after collecting Big 12 Conference regular-season and tournament titles, a magical and historic season just reached its most significant milestone yet.
“Our kids, you could see it in their eyes,” NU coach Mike Anderson said. “You could feel it. You could sense it. They earned it. They deserved it, and they worked hard for it. It didn’t just happen this weekend. They’ve been working hard all year long.”
Nebraska closer Brett Jensen sealed the victory with a perfect ninth inning. He caught Miami shortstop Walter Diaz with a slider that nipped the outside corner of the plate for a called third strike, igniting a rush of red jerseys from the first-base dugout.
Jensen bounced into the arms of catcher Jeff Christy. Within seconds they were buried.
