Oregon State and UCLA meet at 2:00 PM west coast time today in the second game of a three game series between the Beavers and Bruins. After today's game, the two teams will meet again tomorrow for a 1:00 PM first pitch.
Oregon State comes into today's game with a record of 31-8. The Beavers have good wins against Connecticut, Arizona State (3), and Stanford (3). Oregon State has other solid victories against Gonzaga (2), Oregon, Long Beach State, and Arizona.

In the first game of the series, neither team's starters were on their usual game. With a 5-run lead heading into the top of the fifth, but there the Beavers scored 6 runs, good enough for a 7-5 lead. Both teams bullpens held their ground, and the final score was 7-5 Beavers.
The Beavers will start Josh Osich, while UCLA will send out Trevor Bauer.
Last year, UCLA went 51-17. The Bruins went 2-1 against the Beavers in 2010.
This season, UCLA began the season 7-2 before dropping five of their next six games. That stretch dropped the Bruins out of the polls, but they slowly climbed their way back in after big Pac-10 series wins against USC, Washington, Washington State, and Arizona. If the season ended today, UCLA would likely be a 2 Seed in the NCAA Tournament.
The weather is is expected to be great for the duration of the game.
Go Beavers!
