🔼 The Oregon Trail. For the first time since 2010, the WSU Baseball program is back in the NCAA Tournament.
On Monday, the Cougs were selected to the Eugene Regional and will make their 17th NCAA Tournament appearance.
The Cougars, seeded third, will play two-seeded Oregon State in Friday's opening round and will join No. 11 national seed Oregon and fourth-seed Yale in the region.
WSU earned the bid after beating San Diego State in the Mountain West Conference Championship game on Sunday. It is Washington State's first conference title since winning the Pac-10 North in 1995 and the first overall conference title since beating UCLA in a playoff to win the 1976 Pac-8 title.
