- On the verge of today’s big contest against LSU, the Oregonian took a look at catcher/football team kicker Adley Rutschman’s recent defensive exploits and how the freshman has blossomed into a focal point of this Beavers team. This afternoon, Rutschman can help an Oregon State team that currently sits one win away from a birth in the College World Series Finals.
- A “by the numbers” look at the Beavers run to Omaha, the Pac-12 gave us some news and notes pertaining to this Oregon State squad and the success of their season. The conference champions are also in the mix for numerous late/post-season awards and accolades.
- Want to learn more about Oregon State’s opponent in LSU? You could start by checking out our preview of the Tigers prior to the first clash between the teams or maybe relive the moments with our recap of the 13-1 trashing. But, if you really want to get the inside scoop about LSU, you should look to the guys that know them best, as our buddies over at And The Valley Shook broke-down the Tigers’ most-recent victory over Florida State, complete with post-game notes and videos and probably somewhere some reference to a beach ball.
- Twin sisters Kerissa and Venessa D’Arpino are record holders and already legends in the world of Oregon State track and field. So on Wednesday, when the duo decided to transfer away from the program (and to rival Oregon of all places), it’s safe to say the coaches of the program were left a bit shell-shocked.

- A 6’ 1”, 165-pound wide receiver out of Edna Karr High School in Louisiana, Anthony Spurlock currently holds offers from Jacksonville State, Nicholls State and Oregon State.

Calling them his “top school”, the Beavers may be the team to beat in securing the prospect’s services.

- Oregon State alumni Andrew Moore made a quick rise through the farm system of the Seattle Mariners, which culminated in him being called up to the show on Wednesday morning. So it was quite a surprise that just a day later, not only did the once-Beavers star earn the start in a Thursday night game against Detroit, but he also picked up the win in his big league debut.
