Firefighters made significant progress over the weekend on two large wildfires burning in Oregon.

The Rowena Fire started near The Dalles last Wednesday and quickly grew to more than 3,000 acres by Thursday. The perimeter has not grown much since then.
Crews said Monday morning the perimeter of the fire was about 24% contained.
The fire destroyed at least 56 homes, and more than 130 were still threatened. As of Monday morning, more than 300 people were still under Level 3 — Go Now! — evacuation orders. Nearly 6,000 nearby residents remained under Level 1 and Level 2 evacuation orders.
The Ferry Fire, which started in Sherman County on Thursday, grew to more than 9,000 acres by the following day. It has only grown slightly since then. It was estimated at just under 10,500 acres on Monday morning. But the fire perimeter was nearly 80% contained.
In both cases, additional firefighting resources were mobilized to help local crews fight the fires. Those outside firefighting teams will begin to demobilize from both fires on Monday and return to their home crews.
The forecast appears to be more favorable for firefighters near the Rowena and Ferry fires this week. Temperatures in both areas are expected to stay in the 70s through Thursday, and highs in the 60s on Friday could give way to a chance of showers next weekend.

Oregon State can’t halt Coastal Carolina’s streak as Beavers fall at Men’s College World Series
Coastal Carolina starter Jacob Morrison yelled emphatically and pumped his fist after firing a 95 mph fastball past Oregon State’s Gavin Turley for a strikeout to end the sixth inning.
It was that kind of day for the Beavers at the Men’s College World Series. No. 8 seed Oregon State mustered just five hits and one run against the Chanticleers’ ace, ultimately falling 6-2 at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska.
Morrison tossed 7 2/3 stellar innings, improved to 12-0 and helped No. 13 seed Coastal Carolina cruise to its 25th consecutive win, leaving the Chanticleers one victory away from advancing to the MCWS finals. Meanwhile, Oregon State (48-15-1) drops into an elimination game against Louisville at 11 a.m. Tuesday. The winner of that game will face Coastal Carolina at 11 a.m. Wednesday.
Oregon State outhit Coastal Carolina 7-5, but the Beavers’ defensive miscues proved costly.
Coastal Carolina (55-11) jumped out to a three-run lead in the top of the first inning, getting some early help from an Aiva Arquette throwing error plus a walk and a hit batsman by Beavers starter Ethan Kleinschmit. That loaded the bases, and Colby Thorndyke cleared them with a one-out double to right-center.
Easton Talt belted a solo homer to right field in the bottom of the third that cut Coastal Carolina’s lead to 3-1. Arquette and Turley nearly homered in the inning as well, but both drives were caught at the warning track.
Coastal Carolina answered with two more runs in the fourth, again aided by Oregon State miscues. AJ Singer’s fielding error allowed one run, and a Kleinschmit wild pitch led to the other. The Chanticleers made it 6-1 in the fifth when Dean Mihos doubled to left-center to score Thorndyke.
Meanwhile, the Beavers went down in order across the fourth through seventh innings. They threatened in the eighth but couldn’t scratch out a run after getting runners on the corners with two outs.
In the ninth, Turley led off with a solo home run to left, and it appeared the Beavers might put together a rally. Oregon State got runners on first and second with two outs, but then Canon Reeder struck out swinging to end the game.
Kleinschimit (8-5), who took the loss, was charged with six runs (two earned) to go with seven strikeouts and three walks across 4 2/3 innings. Ryan Lynch got the last out for the Chanticleers to pick up his ninth save of the season.
Oregon State will face the same Louisville team it beat 4-3 to open the MCWS on Friday. The Cardinals (41-23) rallied to beat Arizona 8-3 on Sunday and eliminate the Wildcats.
