How did UW baseball get to Omaha? Huskies coach says it’s about being tough

When Lindsay Meggs arrived at Washington nine years ago, he proclaimed that he wanted the Huskies baseball team to become an “Omaha program” worthy of being in the College World Series mix on a regular basis.

It’s finally happened, and maybe in the most unlikely of seasons.

“I don’t think we mapped it out exactly this way,” Meggs said.

At one point this season, Washington was 18-18 after losing at home to Texas-Rio Grande Valley in a non-conference game in late April. On Saturday, they'll face Mississippi State in the first round of the College World Series.
