BASEBALL
Beavers’ title trophy goes on display — Oregon State’s trophy for winning this year’s College World Series is on display this week at the Oregon Historical Society in downtown Portland. The Beavers defeated Arkansas in June to claim their third national championship in baseball. The trophy can be seen through Sunday in the pavilion of the Oregon Historical Society on Southwest Park Avenue. Admission to view the trophy is free.
FOOTBALL
Seahawks sign veteran guard J.R. Sweezy — Seattle added depth to its offensive line Wednesday by signing veteran guard J.R. Sweezy. Sweezy rose to prominence during his first four seasons in the league playing for the Seahawks. He signed with Tampa Bay prior to the 2016 season but then missed the entire year with a back injury. He started 14 games in 2017 but finished that season on injured reserve with a leg injury and was released by the Bucaneers in June.
TENNIS
