Fast Break: Baseball doesn’t need a theme park to ride a roller coaster

Hello, Bearcat Fan! While us NARPs were spring breaking, athletes were springing forth to break the enemy. Let’s see how it went!


Baseball defeated Corban, went 1-2 in a series against Linfield, lost to PLU 0-11, beat them 3-1 in the same day, then inverted the 11-0 result the next day. They are No. 3 in conference. 


Softball opted for a traditional approach to the break, taking the party to Florida. They racked up six wins of a possible seven against a myriad of East Coast schools. 


Track and field defeated cross-town rivals Corban. Steeley Mucken (ʼ26) bowed out of the decathlon at the Willamette Multi early, then was absent from the Willamette invitational. 


Men’s golf took No. 4 at the George Fox Invite behind Linfield, Whitman and Lewis & Clark. Another loss to Whitman spells dark clouds over the upcoming Spring Classic in Walla Walla.


The Whits pushed Men’s tennis 0-70 across the last 10 duals. Women’s tennis met equally disappointing results.


Eye on the conference: PLU Baseball defeated the University of Washington Huskies 3-1.


In the world of sport: The last perfect March Madness brackets have busted, the Portland Timbers are undefeated over the last three matches and the looming threat of Trump tariffs on Canada has complicated hockey-stick consumption. 


Consider in the coming weeks: Is Mucken out, can lacrosse fill their No. 1 coaches poll ranked shoes, and alternatively, hockey sticks? What’s next? The fabric of the world’s oldest constitutional republic?

It was such a fun read! I never knew that this detailed information could immensely help me. I am looking for some suggestions on black obsidian stone benefits, and we find you suitable to provide us with some information you have on this topic. Also, I want some suggestions for our website and waiting for your feedback. Being your fan, I look forward to your new blog.
