Oregon State has their work cut out for them. They open the postseason on Friday at 7:00 PM PT (formerly 7:30) against Northwestern State on ESPNU. They will also likely get a rematch against the team who eliminated them from the 2017 College World Series in LSU, but this time in the regional round.

The winner of that regional would take on the winner of the Minnesota regional. For those that are curious, Oregon State would host that Super Regional, should they get there because of their #3 overall national seed.
