Three Straight 20-Plus Wins
Oregon State won its 20th Pac-12 game of the season Sunday, and has hit that plateau for the third consecutive season. The Beavers and Stanford have both accomplished that feat over the last three seasons, the first Pac-10/12 teams to do so since the North/South merger in 1999.
The Standings
Oregon State is tied with Stanford for second in the Pac-12 race with identical 20-6 records. The teams are 1 1/2 games behind No. 1 UCLA (22-5). Stanford visits Arizona State this week while UCLA is at Oregon.
Closing Out At Home
Oregon State is closing the regular season at home for the fifth consecutive year. Since 2015, the Beavers are a combined 11-2 in their final series. OSU took 2-of-3 over Cal in 2015, three versus UCLA in 2016 (all by shutouts), four over Abilene Christian in 2017 and 2-of-3 against UCLA in 2018.
Against 'SC
Oregon State has won its past four series versus the Trojans, claiming each by 2-1 margins. At Goss, the Beavers have won three consecutive series, including a sweep in 2013, Oregon State's only over USC in a three-game set. The Trojans are the only Pac-12 team the Beavers have yet to sweep away from home.
Turn It
Oregon State turned a series-best three double plays in Sunday's win at Stanford. Oregon State is fourth in the Pac-12 with 38 double plays this season, and second with a .979 fielding percentage.
