LIVE from the Lincoln Regional: Ole Miss-Arizona State caps wild day in college baseball

What a day in college baseball.

Ben Garrett and Brad Logan are joined LIVE by Jake Thompson from Hawks Field in Lincoln, Nebraska, where Ole Miss is preparing to open NCAA Regional play against Arizona State. (UPDATE: New first pitch after a rain delay is 8:36 p.m. CT).

“Excited to be here,” Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco said at practice on Thursday. “When you’re on the road, there are more things to handle prior to when you’re at home. You’re on your home field, you know what you’re going to do, when you’re going to practice, when you’re going to get there and so on.

“When I say happy to be here, happy to be in Lincoln, happy to get back to normal routine. I know we’re excited about the opportunity. First time to be here. Beautiful ballpark. We hear it’s going to have great crowds and again, excited to get started.”
