Reminders are all around the Washington baseball facility. The Huskies make clear their No. 1 goal: to get to Omaha, Nebraska, home of the College World Series.
One sign in the Huskies’ clubhouse reads: “Destination Omaha” in all capital letters. The team regularly meets inside the 1,400-square-foot Omaha Room. And the north wall in that meeting room is covered by a floor-to-ceiling photo featuring the stadium in Nebraska, along with the slogan: “The Forecast for Omaha is Purple Reign.”
“From Day One in this program, we always talk about going to Omaha and how special that would be,” senior designated hitter Joe Wainhouse said.
