Oregon State 9 - Arizona 5 (otherwise known as the game where Kevin got threatened again)

Another disappointing loss by Arizona (13-15, 2-8 Pac-10), but a good game overall. It was a close one for most of the game. Oregon State's (19-6, 6-1 Pac-10) a good team, no doubt.

Once again, the action in the stands proved just entertaining as the action on the field. Here's what happened.

One of Oregon State's players is originally from Tucson. Jokingly, I yelled to him "Why did you abandon us?" and "Tucson is a much nicer town than Corvallis!" Stuff like that. His family, apparently, was sitting a few seats away. They didn't seem to be too happy about what we're saying. One of them threatened to shoot me. Security dragged him away.

Good times.

The best part was, after dragging him away, security also pulled away several of my fellow fans and the OSU fans started cheering like they were getting thrown out. Our fans came back. Theirs didn't. We cheered as loudly as we could when our fans came back just to annoy the OSU fans. Opposing fans don't seem to like the Hot Corner too much because we don't shut up. We keep it clean, but we don't shut up because there's nothing the opposing fans can do to stop us.

Win or lose, I love Arizona baseball.

USC 15 - Arizona 14

Arizona (13-13, 2-6 Pac-10) lost to USC (12-14, 3-5 Pac-10) 15-14. All in all, a good result after we gave up 10 runs in the first inning. We managed to come so close thanks to a pair of five-run innings, one of which came thanks to Hunter Pace's first career home run being a grand slam.

I'm disgusted by the actions of several USC fans, though. Near the end of the game, in response to some of the stuff us Arizona fans were saying, they came over and attempted to intimidate us. Several of them tried to surround me in the seats and one even threatened to fight one of my fellow fans. They probably would have tried to fight us if security hadn't intervened. Truly thuggish behavior, but then again, I'd expect that from a bunch of stuck-up private school kids.
