SPORTS WSU: Everybody is having a good time in locker room East Oregonian Page 2B Continued from 1B 1, 7-1 Pac-12) will play No. 16 Washington (8-3, 6-2) on Friday in the Apple Cup. A victory would give the sev- enth-ranked Cougars their first Pac-12 North title and set a program record for wins in a season. It would also keep alive talk of Washing- ton State’s longshot bid for the College Football Playoff, however unlikely that may be. Leach said the team’s secret weapon may be how much everyone is enjoying themselves. “In the locker room, everybody’s really having a good time,” Leach said. “This is a very tight team. I think that’s helped us to play well.” Having perhaps the best time is quarterback Gardner Minshew, the graduate trans- fer from East Carolina who became a star in his first and only season for the Cougars. Minshew has captured the AP Photo/David Zalubowski Washington State quarterback Gardner Minshew points to the scoreboard to call for a review of his run that was ruled for a touchdown in the second half of an NCAA college football game against Colorado. imagination of fans with stel- lar play, as well as his facial hair. Minshew is nicknamed the Mississippi Mustache and it has become a thing among Cougars fans to post a selfie while sporting a fake mustache. After one recent game, Minshew sneaked up behind Leach as the coach was con- ducting a television interview and slapped a fake mustache on his upper lip. “I was the victim of a cruel joke,” Leach said later. Minshew has become one of the faces of college foot- ball this season, mobbed by fans, pursued by reporters, pushed as a Heisman Trophy candidate. Wednesday, November 21, 2018 BELTRE: 31st to hit 3,000 All the success comes from working as a team, he said. “Man, this team has just come together so well,” Min- shew said. “We believe that we are going to win every game. I think that belief goes a long, long way.” Leach also is having a ball in his seventh season at Washington State. He’s often relaxed when meeting the media, happy to answer off- beat questions. Asked who would win a mythical fight among all 12 conference coaches, he opined Utah’s Kyle Whit- tingham and Arizona State’s Herm Edwards because: “They work out.” Asked what bands he would like to see at a Wood- stock-style festival in Pull- man, he said The Doors, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Jimmy Buffett, then added 10 more. And so on. Of course, what’s really fun is winning. Continued from 1B young to be called up” to the majors. Beltre was only 15 when he first signed with the Dodgers as an amateur free agent in July 1994. Beltre hit a Texas-high .273 with 15 homers and 65 RBIs in 119 games this sea- son, when he went on the disabled list twice because of a strained left hamstring. He was limited in 2017 to 94 games, his fewest since 77 as a rookie, because of calf and hamstring issues. He got his 3,000th career hit on July 30, 2017, the 31st major leaguer to reach that milestone. “To all my fans in the Dominican Repub- lic, the United States and Latin America, my sin- cerest THANK YOU for your continuous support throughout my career,” Beltre wrote. “While I will forever cherish the memo- ries from my time playing the greatest game on earth, I am excited to become a (full-time) husband and father, and I am ready to take on the next chapter of my life.” Michael Young, now a special assistant to the general manager, was the Rangers third baseman before Beltre joined the team. Young then became a utility infielder and des- ignated hitter and is still the career leader for games played and hits by a Rang- ers player. “I knew he was good defensively, I didn’t know he was this good. I knew he could hit, I didn’t know he could hit like that. I knew he was tough, I didn’t know he was that tough,” Young said Tuesday. “I could just pretty much go on, all of the things I knew about him, he was just better in pretty much in every possible way I could have imagined.” SCOREBOARD No. 25 Mississippi State (7-4) beat Arkan- sas 52-6.
