WSU baseball heads to Corvallis, Oregon, this weekend for the toughest challenge of the season: A three-game series with No. 1 Oregon State.
It marks a special moment for coach Marty Lees, who was a longtime assistant to OSU coach Pat Casey during the Beavers’ rise to prominence, which included a pair of national championships. The Cougs played OSU in Pullman last year, so this marks his first return to the place he helped transform.
“Coach Casey, obviously the staff, are very good friends of ours, and I owe everything I’ve got going in life to what he’s given me the opportunity to do,” Lees said during his weekly news conference.
