EUGENE — The Oregon State baseball team dropped its fourth straight and second to Oregon on Saturday, 4-1, at PK Park. Here’s the full story in Sunday’s GT.

Civil War postgame I
EUGENE — My trip to PK Park on Friday was the first since the first season Oregon restarted the program three years ago. At that time the park was half done. It’s now very impressive looking. It has a high-end Single-A stadium look from the California League. The press box was so high up that...

Cliff: Civil War postgame
The Oregon State football team put up a good effort against long odds in the Civil War, but couldn’t pull the upset. Oregon won 37-20. The beleaguered defense showed up and play a good game. The offense just couldn’t find the consistency to win the game. There will be no bowl game and it’s going...
Cliff: Civil War game thread
We start off with the GT video from ESPN’s GameDay this morning. It looked to be a lively setting at Oregon State’s MU quad. There was some love for the Beavers, but it was mostly an Ducks infomercial. It’s time for the game. It’s a cold day, but rain should stay a way. It’s nice...
