Hops Drop Ems
The Hillsboro Hops continue to have the Emeralds number as the 6 game series continued last night. The Hops took a three run lead in the 5th, but the Ems struggled to get a run in with 8 hits on the night. The Ems managed a run in the 9th with an RBI single, but that would be all they could muster on the night. The series continues this evening in Hillsboro.
Former Beavers Back Together
A little more than six years ago, guard Gary Payton II and forward Drew Eubanks were teammates at Oregon State, leading the team to its first NCAA Tournament appearance after a 26-year drought. Now they’re teammates once more — and back in Oregon — with the Portland Trail Blazers. Payton, the son of the former Oregon State and Seattle SuperSonics star Gary Payton, won an NBA title with the Warriors last month before signing a three-year, $28 million deal with the Blazers as a free agent.
