Well, it comes down to this! As a series this has been a competitive one, but I'm sure I'm not alone and saying I do hope the Beavs take this last/rubber game in a more definitive fashion (but won't complain too much as long as it is a W).
A win today puts the Beavs back in nice position going into the series with first place ASU next week.
Game information:
Game Time: 1 p.m. PT.
Pitching: RHP: Jorge Reyes (5-1, 3.68 ERA) versus RHP: Charles Brewer (1-4, 3.86 ERA)
Go Beavs!
A few quick thoughts about Saturday: First what a great win! After going ahead and then again losing the lead the Beavers really came out and showed some impressive grit to score three runs in the ninth to pull out the 5 to 3 win. Again Joey Wong just seems to find the spark at the right time after really doing nothing on offense. And some great and stressful (for me) line-up calls/substitutions by the coaching staff after Coach Casey was ejected. That all said, I would really like to see the bottom part of the batting order step up more, get back to the more rounded line-up we saw earlier in the season. And yes this means I really want to see Tommasini get out of his batting funk.
The defense was very sharp I thought, and the D made some awesome game saving plays. Peavey and Osich did have their rough spots but kept it close enough, along with the excellent play behind them, to give the offense the chance to win it. Especially impressive was Peavey getting out of that bases-loaded situation in the third inning! Grbavac also did a fine job and Rhoderick cleaned up nicely picking up the win.
I think most everyone on the poll below has been feeling about the same as I have and this is very important series to take. You know all in all I would have really liked to have the team easily win it Saturday, but at the same time I think the motivation that this close win gave the team could go a long way. But we'll all see tomorrow for it is all even and winner takes the series!

Was just selected by the Buccaneers. He was the 24th pick (233 overall) in the seventh round.

Tough Loss
We really need to bounce back against Oregon and try to get a little confidence going into the Arizona State series.
I think we should go with Reyes on Friday, Peavey on Saturday, and Waldron on Sunday.
I think we need to not have five errors
Doesn’t matter who is on the mound when you have five errors leading to four unearned runs. Ruined the series, ruined a good game pitched by Reyes, ruined my afternoon…
Okay, onwards, but need to clean it up and ramp it up. Two pretty badly played series in a row. The Beavs always seem to do this and in 2007 they bounced back fine and 2008 went the other way, so going to see what this team is made of now.

As much as yesterday's game
Showed some heart and pride coming back to win it, today’s game was just terrible. I think that is one of the worse played games I can remember the Beavs baseball teams playing in a long time.

If I were an OSU fan I'd have pulled my hair out at today's game
In reality though, this was a very strange series. We could have easily swept you guys, but you could have easily have swept us. Not your average series.
