Oregon State Notables
• Aiden May, Friday night's probable starter, is the reigning National Pitcher of the Week per the NCBWA. May struck out a career-high 14 batters in OSU's 2-0 win over Oregon last Friday. He scattered one hit in a career-long eight innings.
• May's previous career high for strikeouts was nine against the Beavers in 2023. He was pitching for Arizona last season.
• Jacob Krieg's grand slam in the first inning Tuesday marked Oregon State's fifth of the year. Krieg's was the first by a Beaver not named Gavin Turley.
• Travis Bazzana set the Oregon State career record Tuesday or walks with his 157th when he led off the game with a base on balls. He surpassed Garret Forrester (2021-23) and Adley Rutschman (2017-19).
• The walk was the 53rd of the year for Bazzana, tying him with Rutschman and Wade Meckler (2022) for sixth in a season at OSU.
• Bazzana later singled in the seventh for his 227th career hit. That tied him with Rutschman and Michael Conforto (2012-14) for fifth in a career at Oregon State. He needs four to move into a tie for fourth with Brian Barden (2000-02).
• Bazzana also stole a base in the loss, the 60th of his career. That equals him with Jacoby Ellsbury (2003-05) for second-most in a career at OSU. Bazzana now trails only Todd Thomas, who had 62 from 1980-83.
• OSU has hit 83 home runs this season, six shy of the program's school-record of 89 set last season. The Beavers have hit at least one home run in all but six games.
• The Beavers are 17-5 when hitting two or more homers, 10-6 when hitting just one and 6-0 when going homerless.
• Conversely, OSU is 31-5 when keeping an opponent to one home run or less.
• OSU finished the month of April with a 12-7 record, the Beavers' 13th consecutive winning record in the month dating back to 2011. Oregon State has tallied 12 or more wins in the month nine times over that stretch.
