One week from today begins the 2018 NAIA Softball World Series. The Raiders will meet archnemesis Marian in the first game. (SOU beat Marian for the National Championship in football in 2014. Since then Southern Oregon is 0-3 with a football loss in 2015, a women’s basketball loss in 2016, and a softball loss in 2016.) It’s payback time!

I’m guessing the Raiders will be the only team there with at least four freshmen in their starting lineup. Those four freshmen have played amazing defense and hit a combined .351 this year.

Allie Hancock gave up just one run in the first four innings to earn the W.

Beginning today in Medford…

Babe Ruth called his shot. Kelsey appears to be picking St. Francis over Northwestern. Will she be correct?

Note that Tuesday’s games have been moved up. SOU will play at 9 a.m. on Tuesday.

I’ve mentioned before how the Rogue Valley previously was a regular stop for bands traveling between Seattle or Portland and San Francisco. Now bands frequently take an off day between those dates, or they make the entire 10+ hour trek and play those cities on back-to-back days. This August 25 Anthrax is going old school and making the stop. Better than playing at the Medford Armory, they will be at the Ashland Armory! Tickets are on sale here. I’m guessing that you can buy tickets at the usual places (Music Coop in Ashland or Musichead in Medford–call first to make sure they are selling them) to avoid the online service charge.

More Anthrax photos here.

Zepparella at Howiee’s on Front Street (Medford, Oregon) setlist 5/10/18

Actual setlist was a bit different (at the end) than the one above. Clementine broke her snare after The Ocean so they took a break to fix it. When they came back they played Kashmir, When the Levee Breaks, and Whole Lotta Love.
