Corn Flakes: Summer is here, Get Ready for Big Softball and Baseball Games

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend.

Summer holidays are always fun, but I feel like Memorial Day kicking off the summer is always the best one.

What a week we are getting in to with the Nebraska softball team heading to OKC for the Women’s CWS and the Nebraska baseball team hosting a tough regional. There is sure to be enough action to keep Husker fans on our toes.

Which game are you more excited for, the baseball team’s Friday match up with South Dakota State, or the softball team’s Thursday match up with Arkansas?
