BYU coach Mike Littlewood talks to his players during the Cougars' 13-2 loss to Cal State Fullerton in NCAA baseball tournament action on Thursday, June 1, 2017, at Klein Field at Sunken Diamond in Stanford, California.
PROVO — For the BYU baseball program, earning its first NCAA regional appearance in 15 years stands as a significant milestone.
Of course, the Cougars are looking to build on that performance next season.
When coach Mike Littlewood was hired as BYU’s coach five years ago, athletic director Tom Holmoe told him he wanted the program to be “nationally relevant” — and the Cougars took a big step in that direction this season.
