Continued from 1B
Continued from 2B
Hillmick started both
games in the circle and
pitched six total innings. She
got the win in Game 2 and
was named MVP of series by
the coaches and tournament
director. She allowed just
one earned run and five hits
total on the day. She struck
out six batters.
At the plate she was 2
for 4 and drove in two runs,
scored once and stole three
bases.
Peal caught eight innings
behind the plate while also
getting a double and single
the plate. She went 2 for 5
and nearly had another big
hit, but the ball was caught at
the fence with a basket catch
by the center fielder.

MINNEAPOLIS
—
Eddie Rosario hit three home
runs and drove in five runs
and the Minnesota Twins
set a franchise record with
28 hits while batting around
in two different innings of a
20-7 victory over the Seattle
Mariners on Tuesday night.
Max Kepler and Brian
Dozier also went deep,
Eduardo Escobar had five
hits and two RBIs and Jason
Castro had four hits and four
RBIs for the Twins, who
are in first place in the AL
Central despite an AL-worst
13-19 record at Target Field.
The 28 hits are the most
in a game since the Rangers
had 29 in a 30-3 win over the
Orioles on Aug. 22, 2007.

Christian Bergman (3-4)
gave up nine runs and 10
hits in 2 1-3 innings for the
Mariners. Jarrod Dyson had
a homer, a double and an
RBI. Ben Gamel had two
doubles and an RBI.
With slugger Miguel
Sano getting a night off, the
Twins batted around in a
seven-run third inning and a
seven-run seventh to snap a
five-game home skid.
The
Twins
strung
together eight straight hits
in the third inning, including
back-to-back homers by
Rosario and Dozier, to bust
the game wide open.
Rosario’s second two-run
shot of the game came off of
the first pitch from reliever
Casey Lawrence, and
Dozier followed with a solo
shot for an 11-3 lead.
Rosario’s final blast of
the night came in the eighth
inning off backup catcher
Carlos Ruiz.
Kyle
Gibson
(4-4)
wobbled through six innings,
giving up six runs and 12 hits
and striking out four.

Sisters PRCA Rodeo
SISTERS — Jordan Ketscher of
Squaw Valley, California took home
the All-Around Cowboy buckle at the
Sisters Rodeo on Sunday, June 11.
Ketscher was the only man to win
money in two events, and took home
$1,213 in tie-down roping and team
roping.
Jordan Wacey Spears of Redding,
California left town with the largest
boost to his season earnings with a
check for $4,755 after winning the
bull riding with a score of 86 in the
fourth performance to bump Jordan
Hansen’s 85.5 from the top spot.
Tie-down roper Westyn Hughes
set a new arena record in the second
performance with his time of 7.6
seconds, but didn’t make the money
in the aggregate. The old record was
7.8 set in 1997 by Blair Burk and tied
last year by Matt Shiozawa.
Other winners were: Shane Hanchey
of Sulphur, Louisiana in tie-down, 17.9
seconds on two, $4,455; Justin Miller of
Billings, Montana in bareback, 83.5 on
one, $4,300; Olin Hannum of Malad,
Idaho and Trevor Knowles of Mount
Vernon in steer wrestling, 9.2 on two,
$3,762 and $3,980; Taos Muncy of
Corona, New Mexico in saddle bronc,
82.5 on one, $4,342; Brooks Dahozy
of Window Rock, Arizona, and Jason
Duby of Klamath Falls in team roping,
12.7 on two, $2,963 each; Jane Melby
of Burneyville, Oklahoma, 17.39 on
one, $4,088.
Trent Jacobson of Irwin, Idaho won
the Xtreme Bulls competition with
158.5 on two. He was the only rider to
top a bull in the finals, and scored 85.5
to go from outside the money to first.
He took home a check for $4,704.

season 33-0 and ended the regular season and Southwest
Conference Tournament schedule 53-4. But those were in
the days when teams regularly played lower-division outfits.
Among Texas’ opponents that season were Midwestern,
Texas Lutheran, Lubbock Christian, Hardin-Simmons and
Emporia State. The Longhorns lost twice at the College
World Series and finished with a 59-6 record.
The Beavers played only Division I foes this season.
“It’s a tribute to our guys, coming every day ready to play,”
OSU coach Pat Casey says. “That’s very difficult to do. Scholar-
ship limitations dictate parity. You don’t play any non-Division
I games anymore. It’s truly impressive these guys can sustain
focus and this level of play from Feb. 17 to June 10.”
Oregon State goes to Omaha with a 54-4 record, best
in the 116-year history of the program. The Beavers have
gone 5-0 in the postseason, rolling over the opposition by
an aggregate score of 43-9. It’s been the most dominant
OSU team ever in the postseason, by a lot.
Included in that were a pair of Super Regional victories
over Vanderbilt, a storied program that won the national
championship in 2014 and finished as runner-up in 2015.
“After playing (the Beavers) twice, I have a pretty good
understanding of what they’ve done,” Vanderbilt coach
Tim Corbin says. “To go through a schedule like that and
a regional and a Super Regional, they’re very deserving of
being in Omaha. When we won (in 2014), I wouldn’t have
said in the regional that we were a national championship
team. Our energy came together and we played well.
“What they’ve done … doesn’t happen all the time.
They’re putting up number that are tough to come by. It’s
fascinating to watch.”
Corbin sounds as if he thinks the Beavers are the team
to beat in Omaha.
“They just keep coming,” he says. “They’re very moti-
vated right now. The makeup of their team is very good.
They have a lot of parts. They’re tough to stop.”
Some of the motivation comes from the slight of last season,
when Oregon State was left out of the NCAA tournament
despite a 35-19 record and a third-place finish in the Pac-12.
“Our guys have been on a mission,” Casey says. “I told
the guys before the season, ‘You want to remember your
Mom? Men on a Mission — that’s what MOM stands for.’
“Our mission was to get to Omaha. It wasn’t to show
the NCAA anything. But the guys had a passion to work.
They’ve showed it every day since the end of last season.”
Casey credits co-captains Nick Madrigal and Drew
Rasmussen as team leaders, and says it extends even beyond that.
“The leadership within that locker room is phenom-
enal,” the OSU coach says. “Some guys are quiet; some
guys are more vocal. Drew took that pitching staff under
his wing when he couldn’t throw (through the early season)
and said, ‘We’re going to do it right.’ And they have.”
Madrigal was the Pac-12 Player of the Year and Defen-
sive Player of the Year. Luke Heimlich was Pac-12 Pitcher
of the Year, owning the nation’s best ERA. And there was
help all around from the deepest group of position players
Casey has employed in his 23 years at the helm.
“To have a freshman catcher like Adley Rutschman
and a center fielder like Steven Kwan … look at the jump
Cadyn Grenier has made,” Casey says. “It’s a statement to
what our guys believe in. You don’t need to have a bunch
of at-bats for me to put you in a game. Just be ready to go.
I trust every one of you.
“There’s no ego on this team. Nick could probably play
shortstop on any team in the country. The only reason he’s
playing second base is because Cadyn has never played second.
Nick is doing what is best for the team. So are all of our guys.”
Casey has used nearly every position player on his
active roster in the postseason.
“This team is selfless,” he says. “They don’t care who
plays. They don’t care where they hit in the order. I trust
all the players. I don’t know if we’ve ever had as many
players capable of helping us. We used the same lineup
every day with the ‘06 team.”
The Beavers will go to Omaha without the services of
Heimlich, removed from the team before the Super Regional
after OregonLive’s revelation last Thursday that he was
convicted of sexual abuse of a minor when he was 15 years old.
“People may think now we don’t need Luke, who is
one of the best pitchers in the country,” Casey says. “The
Super Regional was two games. There are a tremendous
amount of games to play back there in Omaha.”
But Casey’s projected starting rotation looks much better
after the come-through performance of Bryce Fehmel in last
Saturday’s deciding win over Vanderbilt. Pitching coach Nate
Yeskie will have junior Jake Thompson (14-0), Fehmel (5-2)
and sophomore Rasmussen (3-0) at his disposal in Omaha.
Rasmussen, who came back after March 2016 Tommy
John elbow surgery late this season, struggled in a regional
game against Yale from a hematoma to his pitching arm
after taking a line drive in a game against Abilene Chris-
tian. Rasmussen has now recovered.
“We were going to roll him out there if we needed him
(during the Super Regional),” Yeskie says. “He’s ready to go.”
Casey thinks the Beavers are, too. He likes his team’s
chances at spacious TD Ameritrade Park.
“All eight teams have a chance to win it,” he says.
“We’re one of the eight. I guarantee you one thing. There
are a lot of people who think we should win it because of
our record. But you have to play your hand right.
“You have to know what you’re doing with your personnel.
The things you have to do to win in that ballpark — defend,
pitch well and minimize extra bases — we do pretty well.”
There is one thing left for this Oregon State team to
accomplish. What’s already in the books, though, has
made this a season for the ages.
