About the Rematch

Following days of nationwide online debate over the controversial conclusion to Monday's mascot race the College World Series, 6-year-old Logan Smith challenged Durango to a rematch at UNO's Tal Anderson Field. Logan's family cheered on as he easily beat Durango, and even checked on his new friend after Durango took a nasty spill of his own. After Logan's big win, his brothers wanted in on the action. The Smith brothers took on Durango in a second race.

Thank you to Travis Bailey for providing his video from the mascot race at the CWS that started it all.
