Work ethic, tenacity gets Meckler to the bigs
If Wade Meckler can bottle his performance in the San Francisco Giants’ 8-6 10-inning victory at Philadelphia on Wednesday, chances are good for a long major league career.
Beavers one win away from hosting Super Regional after putting it all together in romp past Toreros
CORVALLIS — If there were a blueprint for how Oregon State wants to play during the rest of the postseason, it came in the Beavers’ 12-3 demolition of San Diego Saturday night at Goss Stadium.
Pac-12 baseball tournament? Hip, hip … booooooooooooo
Heading into last week’s Pac-12 baseball tournament, I had reservations about the necessity.
Postseason starts Wednesday for Beavers, who made the regular season a special one
It’s on to the Pac-12 Tournament for Oregon State, which two weeks ago was the No. 1-ranked team in the country.
Beavers’ eyes on the prize as baseball season unfurls
It has been 15 years, but Mitchell Dean Canham hasn’t forgotten the thrill of claiming the second of back-to back national championships as catcher and captain of Oregon State’s baseball team in 2007.
Canham: ‘Looking at what we have back and coming in … I’m excited’
It can’t be that time already, can it?
Ah, but it is. Oregon State begins fall baseball practice on Thursday, Sept. 9.
Summer has flown by, and the fall portion of the second full season of the Mitch Canham era in Corvallis is around the corner.
The 2022 campaign will be one of redemption for the Beavers, who fashioned a credible 37-24 record (16-14 in Pac-12 action, tied for fifth) and came within whisker of advancing to a Super Regional in 2021.
With Rich Dorman, talking OSU pitching on eve of Fort Worth Regional
If Oregon State is to rise up and claim the Fort Worth Regional, its pitching will have to be a major part of the story.
Statistically, at least, the No. 2 seed Beavers (34-22 overall, 16-14 in Pac-12 action) take the league’s best pitching staff into Friday’s 11 a.m. Regional opener against No. 3 Dallas Baptist (37-15).
“As a whole, we competed pretty well and gave ourselves a chance to win a lot of games,” pitching coach Rich Dorman said Thursday night on the eve of the Beavers’ opener in Fort Worth. “At times we did a really good job, and at times we didn’t.”
OSU led the Pac-12 in most pitching categories through the regular season, including ERA (3.42, eighth nationally), opponents’ batting average (.217), walks and hits per innings pitched (1.2, eighth nationally), hits allowed per nine innings (7.1, fifth nationally) and strikeouts per nine innings (10).
