Has Nebraska ever won a College World Series game? Exploring the Cornhuskers' CWS history

The Nebraska Cornhuskers baseball team is a proud program with a distinguished history. The program has been crowned NCAA regional champions four times and has made three College World Series appearances. They might have fallen on hard times in recent history, but under head coach Will Bolt, they are looking to return to their glory days.

The College World Series is the pinnacle of collegiate baseball, and only a few reputable programs have recorded wins at that level. Let's see whether the Cornhuskers have broken their duck.

Has Nebraska ever won a College World Series game?

Yes, Nebraska has won a College World Series game. The program attained the feat in 2005 when it defeated Arizona State for its first College World Series win in program history. However, the joy was short-lived, as Nebraska lost the next two games and was subsequently eliminated.

Nebraska has made the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship 17 times and has been to the College World Series three times in its illustrious history. The program has racked up eight regular-season conference championships and five conference tournament championships.

It has also had an array of talented players over the years. 16 members of the Cornhuskers have been named First-Team All-Americans, with Alex Gordon earning the 2005 Golden Spikes Award, officially becoming the best amateur baseball player in the United States.
