The No. 8 Oregon State Beavers host the San Diego Toreros Friday night in a college baseball matchup at Goss Stadium in Corvallis. First pitch is scheduled for 5:35 p.m. It’s the opener of a three-game series and the beginning of a season-high nine-game homestand for the Beavers (7-3).

Authorities said Thursday that they planned to pull a station wagon from an Oregon river believed to have belonged to a family of five that disappeared nearly 70 years ago while out searching for Christmas greenery.
