•Oregon State holds the all-time series advantage over Washington 240-190-1. The first series dates all the way back to 1910 (Washington won both games) and the two teams have played at least once a year uninterrupted since 1946.
•The Huskies and Beavers played a double-header March 24, 2018 in which OSU swept, 16-1 and 5-2, before UW escaped with a win in the series finale, 8-4. The double-header was forced due to poor weather in Corvallis on March 23.
•The Beavers have won each of the last five series matchups, but in each of those series the Huskies escaped with one win. OSU has been ranked No. 1 in 2018 and 2017 when the teams met.
•The last time the teams met in a non-conference, neutral site game was Feb. 24, 2014 in Surprise, Ariz., where OSU won 3-2. 
•In their 2017 matchup, the Huskies won game one of the series, 3-2, to snap the Beavers' 23-game win streak. They hung the only loss of the season on 11-game winner Luke Heimlich that night. The Beavers bounced back to win the next two games, 5-2 and 3-0, to win the series. 
•The last time UW won a series they took  2-of-3 against No. 5 OSU in 2013 at Husky Ballpark. You have to go all the way back to 2004 to find the last time the Huskies won a series in Corvallis, taking 2-of-3 against the Beavs.
