Max Gordon – Oregon State University Beavers Baseball

In the latter part of the last decade, Max Gordon was starring for the Ashland High School Baseball Team. Now he plays center field for Oregon State. He has made several, stunning diving catches this season. For instance, this past Sunday he made one of the most miraculous dives I have ever seen.

Michael Conforto of Oregon State drives one the opposite way

In a pitcher’s league (the Pac-12), Michael Conforto can hit. He leads the #4 ranked Beavers in pretty much every offensive category. He gets on base nearly half the time and is slugging over .520. He hit two homers in the weekend series with the Ducks. He is only a sophomore.

Oregon Baseball – Craig Meredith

I spent the past couple days in Eugene. Today’s photo is from yesterday’s Civil War game with Oregon State University at PK Park. It was a tight game until the last few innings when OSU opened up their offensive attack and ended up blowing out the Ducks 9-0. The winner of today’s game (at noon) in Eugene (the last in the three-game series) will likely win the Pac-12 Conference Championship. Both teams are ranked in the NCAA Top Ten.

I have a few hundred photos from the game. How many do you want to see?

SOU Raider Red Zone Golf Shootout 2013

Yesterday was the annual Southern Oregon University Raider Red Zone Golf Shootout at Eagle Point Golf Course. Most of the participants are former Raider football players who are now giving back to the program. All proceeds from the event go to help finance the football team.

But they did a bit more than just golf on this glorious, 80-degree day in early May…

A hole-in-one on this hole won you a Harley

Pay $10 to kick a field goal on this hole and you can tee off from the women’s tee
