NCAA Baseball Tournament: Washington Loses To Ole Miss In Regional Finals

It was a tight contest with Mississippi taking a one run lead, the Huskies tying it the next, taking the lead a couple of innings later, only to have the Rebels tie it right back up. The teams seemed evenly matched throughout the entire game -- and even through the nearly two hour rain delay that the teams endured.

With most of their core players coming back in 2015 they should have an excellent chance of returning to the postseason a year from now.
