Here are some notes via an e-mail from Oregon State about the Beavers’ baseball team and its pending NCAA tournament appearance. OSU plays Texas A&M at noon our time on Friday in the Fort Worth, Texas, regional:
Regional Experience
Of the 35 players on the Oregon State active roster, just six have NCAA Regional experience, and only three have more than three innings of work or more than 15 at bats in a Regional contest. John Wallace leads all OSU hitters in NCAA Regional play with a .438 average, posting four RBI, a double and a triple.
Against The Other Clubs
Oregon State is most familiar with Texas A&M and will open its NCAA Regional against the Aggies. OSU is 2-4 all-time against A&M, and most recently split two games in College Station in 2007. Oregon State has played Wright State just once, winning 5-3, in the opening game of the 2006 Corvallis Regional. The Beavers played two games against TCU in 1993 and split them with the Horned Frogs.
On The Road
Oregon State has played 30 games away from its home ballpark, Goss Stadium, this season. The Beavers are 18-12 in such games this season, posting an 8-8 mark in true road games.
Non-Conference Tilts
With Pacific-10 Conference play officially over and the NCAA Tournament at hand, it’s important to take a look at the Beavers’ non-conference record. Oregon State went 20-5 in non-conference games this season, winning its last 12. Coincidentally, or not, that enabled the Beavers to go 12-0 in mid-week games this season.
