Southridge's Spencer O'Neil, the top-ranked sophomore in the state according to BaseballNorthwest.com, has verbally committed to the University of Oregon.
O'Neil, a first-team All-CBBN Columbia selection at designated hitter, hit .410 with 23 RBIs this season for the Suns, who reached the 4A regional tournament before being eliminated Tuesday by University.
The earliest O'Neil can sign with the Ducks, who reinstated their baseball program this year, is November 2010.

Schools hit by internet outage
Schools hit by internet outage
Educational institutions including Washington State University Tri-Cities and school districts in Richland and Walla Walla experienced an internet outage of about four hours Thursday.
The outage resulted from a high-count fiber cable being cut, disabling the K20 network operated by the University of Washington, said Melissa O'Neil Perdue, spokeswoman for WSU-TC. It was not immediately known how the cable was damaged.
The outage meant affected institutions did not have external internet access along with other services, such as the loss of video conferencing for some classes as WSU-TC. However, there were no reports the outage resulted in canceled classes.
