Beavers fall on the diamond
On the diamond last night, Oregon State couldn’t hang on to a late game lead, and committed three errors for their fourth straight loss… this one 6-5 to the San Diego State Aztecs in Corvallis. The two teams meet again tonight.
Athlete of the week
Siuslaw Track and Field standout Mikaela Siegel is Coast Radio Sports’ Athlete of the Week.
