OMAHA, Neb. -- Nobody is saying that Nick Madrigal wants to shut the door on fun in the Oregon State clubhouse during lengthy weather delays at the College World Series, but leave it to the Beavers' captain to keep his teammates on task.
At some point during the 4½-hour break from play earlier this week as Oregon State trailed Washington in the sixth inning of an elimination game, freshman outfielder Joe Casey jammed 30 pieces of gum into his mouth -- to the delight of teammates.
Meanwhile, multiple Beavers engaged in a game of Mafia, involving fake gangsters, of course, a sheriff and a doctor.
