LEADING OFF: With 2 weekends left in the regular season, 2 teams have already punched their tickets to the 2024 Pac-12 Tournament in Scottsdale and they meet this weekend in Salt Lake City.  #19 ARIZONA has won 20 of their last 24 games overall and owns the toughest non-conference schedule in the country.  Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week Clark Candiotti, coming off the Wildcats first complete game shutout since 2021, has allowed 3 earned runs or less in 9 straight starts and 11 of 12 appearances.  UTAH has won 6 of their 8 conference weekend series and have 30+ wins for the first time since 2002.  Kai Roberts has multiple hits in 7 of his last 13 games for the Utes, hitting .367 (22-60) with 17 runs scored in that span.  

Four more teams could clinch their spot in the Pac-12 Tournament as soon as Friday.  OREGON STATE, OREGON and ARIZONA STATE need either a win OR a WASHINGTON STATE loss to USC to officially book their travel.  CALIFORNIA, who hosts San Jose State this weekend, would get in with a WASHINGTON STATE loss

#8 OREGON STATE hosts UCLA this weekend where the Beavers are 21-2 this season.  All-American Travis Bazzana is 6-9 with 5 HR over the last 2 games, giving him the school single-season record for homers with 26.  Bruins 2B Duce Gourson owns a 9-game hitting streak, the longest by a Bruin this season.

#24 OREGON heads North for a weekend series in Seattle.  The Ducks have won 4 of their last 5 games and have been victorious in 6 of their 8 conference weekend series.  Jacob Walsh, already Oregon’s career HR leader, needs 1 more home run to tie the school’s single season record of 18 by Sabin Ceballos last season.  Washington has won 3 of its 4 home conference weekend series this season.  After missing most of the first 2 months of the season with a broken hamate bone, Huskies OF Braeden Terry has an 11-game hitting streak.

Arizona State has won 9 of their last 12 games, scoring 10+ runs in 7 of the last 10.  Nick McLain took home a ton of national hardware last week, hitting a home run in 5 straight games after only hitting 4 in his first 34 games.  Stanford has won their last 3 home weekend conference series.  Owen Cobb is the owner of the team's season-high 12-game hitting streak, going 24-55 (.436) with 13 runs scored in that span.

USC can also book their travel to Scottsdale with 2 wins in Pullman this weekend.   Since the start of April, Ryan Jackson has had a hot bat for the Trojans, hitting .352 with 19 runs scored in 22 games.  Grant Taylor has back-to-back starts with 10 strikeouts and has fanned 9 or more batters in 4 of his last 6 starts for the Cougars.

Cal is the only Pac-12 team in non-conference play this weekend after winning 3 of their last 4 conference weekend series.  Freshman Trey Newmann is 4-0 in his last 4 appearances, the last 2 a starter.
