• Beavers win series opener over Wildcats: Ryan Dunn’s run-scoring single with one out in the ninth inning gave the 19th-ranked Oregon State (15-5, 4-0 Pac-12) baseball team a walkoff win over No. 5 Arizona, 6-5, on Friday in Corvallis in the series opener between the clubs. Dylan Davis was intentionally walked in order to have Arizona reliever Matthew Troupe face Dunn, who took a 3-1 pitch and found a spot in the left-center gap for the game-winning hit.

Trailing 1-0 in the fifth, Jones lined a one-out triple to the gap in left-center field, bringing home J.J. Altobelli with the tying run. Ryon Healy followed with an RBI groundout to third, plating Jones with what proved to be the game-winning run. The two teams will be back at it today, with the first pitch scheduled for 2 p.m.

• Dodgers bidders whittled down: The number of bidders for the Los Angeles Dodgers is reportedly down to three. The Los Angeles Times reported Friday that the three finalists include a group led by Magic Johnson and veteran baseball executive Stan Kasten; St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke; and a group led by hedge-fund billionaire Steven Cohen and Los Angeles billionaire and philanthropist Patrick Soon-Shiong. In an unusual process agreed to last year by Major League Baseball and current Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, MLB will consider groups for approval before McCourt then selects the winner of the auction, which is likely to be for a price of more than $1 billion.
