The Washington Huskies have advanced to the Pac-12 Baseball Tournament Semifinals with a win over the USC Trojans. The Huskies, who are the No. 4 seed in the tournament, defeated the Trojans 5-4 in a thrilling game that went down to the wire.
Washington was led by pitcher Joe DeMers, who threw seven innings and allowed only two runs. DeMers was able to keep the Trojans off balance all game long and was able to get out of several jams throughout the game. The Huskies also got some timely hitting from their offense, including a two-run home run from catcher Nick Kahle in the sixth inning that gave them the lead for good.
The win was a big one for the Huskies, who have been struggling as of late. They had lost four of their last five games coming into the tournament and needed a win to keep their postseason hopes alive. With the win, they have now advanced to the semifinals and will face off against the top-seeded Oregon Ducks.
The Huskies will need to be at their best if they want to advance to the championship game. Oregon is one of the best teams in the conference and will be a tough opponent. However, the Huskies have shown that they can compete with anyone when they are playing their best baseball.
It will be an exciting semifinal matchup between two of the top teams in the Pac-12. The Huskies will be looking to continue their winning ways and advance to the championship game. It should be a great game and one that all fans of college baseball will not want to miss.
