BELLEVUE, Neb. -- The NAIA Baseball National Championship Opening Round – Bellevue Bracket is changing venues for all of Wednesday's games as a result of wet and rainy conditions in the Bellevue area. The games have been moved to Brown Park in Omaha. 

Bellevue Baseball permanently moved into John Stella Field at Brown Park prior to the start of the 2018 season.

Brown Park is located at 5708 South 15th Street in the Brown Park neighborhood of South Omaha, Nebraska. The baseball field at the park is more than 100 years old, and hosted games played by Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and others.

The Bruins, who share the ballpark with Omaha South High School, moved in after the facility underwent significant renovations to the dugouts and concourse areas. The field completed the transition to an all-turf facility during the 2019-20 school year; beginning in the Summer of 2018 the field received an upgrade via the installation of field turf on the infield.

Bellevue is the lone remaining unbeaten team in the tournament and will play in the championship game at 2:30 p.m. against the winner of the loser's bracket contest between MidAmerica Nazarene and Concordia (Neb.) slated for 11 a.m. today. 

Wednesday's Opening Round Schedule (subject to additional change)

Game 8: Bellevue vs. Winner of Game 7, 2:30 p.m.
