SOU’s Churchill Hall in Spring

Southern Oregon University is wet today, but a couple weeks ago campus looked like today’s photo. The blossoms went very early this year. Normally the campus doesn’t look like this until the end of April.

Tonight is the annual volunteer party at ScienceWords for the Ashland Independent Film Festival. A better version of the photo that everyone saw before this year’s films is available here. I’m not sure why they didn’t use the better one.

AHS Softball – Georgia Williams

Today’s game (4/17/14) is against Hidden Valley at North Mountain Park beginning at 4:30 p.m. In Ashland’s last game, Georgia Williams threw a no-hitter and struck out 12 batters in just 5 innings (the game was shortened due to the Mercy Rule and AHS’s 17-0 lead)!

Ashland High School Baseball – Tommy Hulick

So I mentioned last week that Ashland High School was going up against the #1 ranked 6A team in the state. AHS won thanks to the shutout thrown by Tommy Hulick! 6A teams aren’t supposed to lose to 5A teams, especially when they are ranked #1. What does this mean? Does Ashland High School have the best team in the state regardless of size? Maybe. Today they go up against 4A Klamath Union in Ashland at 4:30. Another win will further pad their #1 ranking in the 5A OSAA category.

SOU Softball’s Julia Willison

She hit her first three home runs of the season, a grand slam and two three-run shots, leading the Raiders to four wins during the week. She went 7-for-16 and reached base in 13 of 23 plate appearances.

The Raiders have a road doubleheader tomorrow before returning to Ashland this weekend. They currently sit in third place in the conference with almost half of the conference games still to come.
