- Nebraska dropped to an elimination game against No. 2 Texas on Sunday, a matchup that could pit Nebraska ace Jordy Frahm against Texas starter Teagan Kavan.

- In college baseball, several regionals finished over the weekend and teams including Texas, North Carolina, Oregon, Kansas and Alabama clinched Super Regional berths while Ole Miss advanced from the Lincoln Regional.
