BEAVERS and BASEBALL!
Okay, Sports fans, it's rare that the Oregon State Beavers play for a national championship in ANY sport. But there they are in Omaha, about to take on N. Carolina for the national championship in the College world series, after working their way up through the losers bracket. This is a Cinderella team. The vast majority of these guys grew up playing in small fields in small town Oregon...towns with names like Philomouth, and Drain, populations only a few thousand. Tune in this weekend if you like baseball. No matter how it turns out, this year's Beavers baseball team are an amazing bunch...simply because they are there. No Beavers team in any sport has ever won a national championship.
