A 5-4 VICTORY OVER OREGON.

ADDITIONALLY, HEAD COACH PAT CASEY WON HIS ONE-THOUSANDTH CAREER GAME THAT SAME NIGHT.

FRIDAY, DREW RASMUSSEN RECEIVED HIS FIRST START SINCE COMING BACK FROM TOMMY JOHN SURGERY,

AND STEVEN KWAN 1-FOR-4 WITH 3 RBIs ON THE NIGHT.

THE BEAVERS WOULD GO ON SWEEP THE DUCKS IN EUGENE AND REMAIN THE NATION'S TOP TEAM.

CASEY HAS BEEN A LEADER ON AND OFF THE FIELD, AND RASMUSSEN REFLECTED ON HIS COACH AFTER

FRIDAY'S WIN.

I REMEMBER CASE SAID ON MY VISIT, 'WE'RE GOING TO BE YOUR FAMILY AWAY FROM HOME.'

AND EVER SINCE DAY ONE, HIM AND THE REST OF THE COACHING STAFF, THE TEAM, THEY'VE STUCK

TO THAT WORD.

HE'S AN AWESOME GUY.

HE'S DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB BUILDING UP AN INCREDIBLE PROGRAM HERE IN THE NORTHWEST.

HE MEANS A LOT TO ME JUST BECAUSE HE IS A GREAT GUY ON AND OFF THE FIELD.
