BYU baseball looked like a longshot for the NCAA tournament after losing its opening game of the WCC tournament to No. 27 LMU on Thursday.
The Cougars would have to win four consecutive elimination games to clinch their first ever WCC tournament title and make the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2002.
Yet they did it.
An 8-4 win over Saint Mary’s and a 5-4 revenge win over LMU on Friday set BYU baseball up for a chance to upset No. 22 Gonzaga on Saturday.
The Cougars thumped the Bulldogs in game one 10-3 before sealing the conference title with a 16-3 win in the nightcap.
