OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — It was a long time ago, but Washington teammates Joe DeMers and Willie MacIver once talked about playing together in the College World Series.
Here they are.
In 2010, the two played in a youth baseball tournament held in Omaha at the same time as the CWS. While here, their team attended some games at Rosenblatt Stadium.
"I remember the conversation: 'Man, it would be cool to play here. It would be an unbelievable experience,'" MacIver said. "It's a dream come true. This is why you play college baseball, to get on a stage like this and see this atmosphere, which I'm sure is going to be amazing.
