Of all the major sports, baseball is the most likely to have a game go completely against recent trends, and produce an outcome completely unexpected. It's why the Mariners actually win some games every year. Friday was another example of the unpredictable nature of the sport, when Oregon State hosted Washington to start their Pac-12 series.
Oregon State, though still surprisingly ranked 6th in the country, had lost 4 in a row, and looked bad doing so, before finally scrapping their way to a 9-6 win over a sub-.500 San Diego State team on Tuesday.
And then the Beavers learned they would be without their Friday starter sophomore Drew Rasmusen for the rest of the season, after he tore the UCL in his elbow.
