COLLEGES

It hasn’t been the best of seasons for Washington State’s baseball team, but the Cougars (25-22, 8-13) have been playing much better lately. Sunday, they capped off a series win over defending national champion Oregon State with a 5-3 victory in Corvallis.

• Gonzaga will play for an NCAA regional bid in two weeks, when the Bulldogs travel to San Diego to face sixth-ranked USD in the West Coast Conference championship series. The Toreros lost a WCC game Sunday for the first time since dropping two of three at GU to open conference. GU lost Sunday at Pepperdine, 4-3 in 11 innings, but still took two of three from the Waves.

• Lewis and Clark High graduate Britney Henry won the Pac-10 championship for Oregon in the hammer with a toss of 217 feet, 10 inches. Rogers grad Rebekah Noble sat out the meet with tight hamstrings.

• The Pac-10 crew championships were held Sunday, and Gonzaga picked up a championship in women’s novice eights while the Husky men won the overall crown.
