Pilots sweep the ducks

Nice to say that. They beat UO 12-8 today to win all three games this year.

Almost takes the sting out of being swept by Santa Clara at home. Maybe the Ducks should join the WCC?

I liked how the story in the paper today talked about how the Pilots feel good about being the second best D1 baseball team in the state. Nice to see a writer who knows there are schools besides Oregon and OSU.

Wait . . . there are? Oh, you must mean the Portland State Pilots!

I took that as a bit of a finger in the eye of the writer, actually. They have been writing huge game recaps for nearly every Oregon baseball game, while Portland is lucky to get more than a very small blurb. In my mind's eye, I picture the UP players snarkily giving those quotes to a somewhat red-faced writer.

Is there any good way to follow this team from out of state?

I know every Pilots home game has both an audio webcast and livestats. Most away games do as well, but you have to go hunting on the other school's website.

Speaking of baseball, it's always good to get wins over the Zags - especially when they're ranked!

Thankyou. Unfortunately, there's nothing like seeing baseball with a hot dog in your hand though. I think I should just plan a road trip.
