again eliminated the Huskers. Erstad resigned as head coach following the 2019 season, citing his desire to spend time with his family. On June 14, 2019, Will Bolt was named Nebraska baseball's twenty-sixth head coach. After his first season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bolt guided the Huskers to a 34–14 record in 2021, winning the Big Ten regular-season championship and winning two games in the NCAA Tournament before being eliminated by top-seeded Arkansas. Seasons Coaches Coaching history In its early years, Nebraska's program cycled through head coaches, most of whom led the program for a single year. The Cornhuskers competed as an independent until 1929, when John Rhodes led the team to the Big Six championship. W. W. Knight, hired forty-four years after the program's first season of competition, was Nebraska's first head coach to hold the position for more than three years. After decades of heavy coaching turnover, the hire of Tony Sharpe in 1947 brought stability to the program for the first time; Sharpe and his successor John Sanders led Nebraska for a combined fifty-one years. However, this consistency did not translate to on-field success, as the two coaches combined for just three NCAA Tournament appearances. NU's first national success arrived with the hire of Dave Van Horn in 1998, who took the program to its first College World Series appearances in 2001 and 2002. When Van Horn resigned to return to his alma mater Arkansas after the 2002 season, assistant Mike Anderson succeeded him and led NU to a program-record fifty-seven wins and another College World Series appearance in 2005. Nebraska has been coached by Will Bolt since 2020. Coaching staff Facilities Buck Beltzer Stadium The Cornhuskers played at Buck Beltzer Stadium (originally The Nebraska Diamond) from the 1940s until 2001. It was named after Oren "Buck" Beltzer, a standout football and baseball player in the early 1900s. The stadium was located northeast of Memorial Stadium and adjacent to Interstate 180. The stadium's 1,500-seat capacity was expanded with additional bleacher sections shipped in for NCAA Tournament games. The five NCAA Tournament games hosted at Buck Beltzer Stadium produced its five largest-ever crowds. Nebraska's final game at the stadium was a 9–6 win over Rice to send the program to its first College World Series. By the time of its closing, Buck Beltzer Stadium was considered out-of-date and lacked many features common among similar
