Coming off of an opening weekend sweep, the Washington University baseball team had a three-game weekend against the Coe College Kohawks on Feb. 24 and 25. The Bears squad showed their mantle with back-to-back wins to extend their win streak to five but was handed its first loss of the season on Sunday afternoon.
Baseball is a streaky and superstitious sport – sometimes, all a team needs to improve off of a previous season’s results is a chip on their shoulder. While WashU missed the postseason last year, the building blocks for a sustainable winning future seemed to be in place. WashU baseball is young and hungry this season.
