Local College Baseball 500

For my 500th post I'm going to give a preview of expanded college baseball coverage I plan starting next season. I will be devoting more time giving weekly updates on the five local college baseball teams much like I do for the MLB divisions. Those five teams are Nebraska-Lincoln, Nebraska-Omaha, Creighton, Bellevue and Iowa Western. I will give updates on how each team is doing that week and who the top three hitters and top two pitchers are.
