No drama, no letdowns, just a weekend where Washington State took care of business from the first pitch to the final out. It was the kind of performance that makes you think this team might be something different this year.
Baseball is a grind, and opening conference play on the right foot matters more than most fans want to admit. The Cougs didn't just win. They controlled the series. That is the difference between a team that hopes to hang around and one that plans to make noise.

Now we know who is on the schedule for the rest of Pac-12 play. The path is clear. The question is whether the Cougs can keep this momentum rolling. Early signs say yes. But baseball has a way of humbling you fast. For now, enjoy the sweep. It is a good feeling. Go Cougs.
