Against Gonzaga
• Oregon State and Gonzaga are squaring off for the third time this season on Monday. OSU was a winner in the previous two games, both played in February in Surprise, Ariz. The Beavers won those games by 13-5 and 9-5 scores.
• Oregon State scored those 22 runs on the strength of 22 hits - including six for extra bases - and 15 walks to just 13 strikeouts.
• The Beavers are 71-36 all-time in the series including a 27-13 mark in games played in Corvallis.
Oregon State Notes
• OSU is 27-7 for the fifth time in program history, joining the 2005, 2007, 2011 and 2014 Beavers. That's the program's fourth-best mark after 34 games all-time, trailing 2017 (31-3), 2013 (28-6) and 2018 (28-6).
• Wade Meckler became the first Beaver with five runs scored in a game since Brian Barden in 2000 against Washington. Six runs are the OSU single-game record, set by Ken Bowen in 1985 versus Chico State.
• Justin Boyd's five RBI Saturday gave him eight multiple-RBI efforts this season. That trails only Jacob Melton (11) and Travis Bazzana (10) as the most by a Beaver this season.
• Boyd's two hits also gave him 15 multi-hit games, shy of only Bazzana's 18.
• Garret Forrester has seven multi-hit efforts over the Beavers' last eight games.
• Oregon State has issued just 80 walks this season, second-fewest nationally. That trails Tennessee's 74.
• The Beavers are 11-0 this season when scoring 10 or more runs.
• OSU is at 295 runs over 34 games this season. The 2021 Beavers surpassed the 295-run mark in the 49th game of the season.
• The Beavers are 19-3 when scoring first this season.
• OSU is 10-5 at home in 2022.
