Coach Lindsay Meggs has created a family atmosphere, and his team has bought in big time.

Husky Slugger Joe Wainhouse was chosen first team All-Region. The left-handed hitting DH is hitting .312 with 19 homers and 59 RBI.

Larry Stone of the Seattle Times features childhood friends Joe DeMers and Willie MacIver, who are hoping they get to participate in another “Dawg” Pile in Omaha.

Any Yamashita from The Daily says that while being in the CWS is new for the Huskies, some of their opponents are not strangers.

GoHuskies has a great photo gallery from the Huskies first practice in Omaha.
