The Beavers went 2-0 against the Ducks this week, improving to 32-16 on the season. The Oregon Ducks dropped to 14-39 on the game. The Beavers pitched well on Tuesday and batted well on Wednesday so it was a pretty good series.

Our pitching staff pitched great with Tyler Waldron starting, Kraig Sitton relieving, and Kevin Rhoderick closing it up. The Ducks pitcher, Alex Keudell, pitched a eight inning complete game. With the win came Pat Casey's 500th win at Oregon State, and there was a celebration on the field after the game.
