EUGENE, Ore. - The sixth-ranked Oregon State baseball team lost a 6-0 decision to Oregon Sunday at PK Park in the season finale for both teams. The loss, however, came after the Beavers were announced as one of 16 regional hosts for the NCAA postseason, which starts on Friday.

The Beavers closed out the regular season with a 38-17 overall record and 17-10 mark in Pacific-10 Conference play. The 17 league wins are the second-most for the club since the Pac-10 unified in 1999. The 17 wins also places the Beavers in second place, one game shy of league champion UCLA.

Oregon State starter James Nygren worked just 2 1/3 innings, allowing two runs - a run-scoring double by Ryon Healy in the first and a run-scoring single in the third off Ben Wetzler that was charged to the righty.

Nygren threw 38 pitches and struck out three but was charged with the loss to fall to 8-3 this season.

Oregon added to its lead with a solo run in the fifth, two more in the sixth and a final run in the eighth.

Alex Keudell got the win for Oregon (33-26-1, 10-16) to improve to 7-3 this season. Keudell went 8 2/3 innings, striking out six while walking two and allowing two hits.

Healy led Oregon with three hits while KC Serna and J.J. Altobelli had two apiece.

The game marked the regular-season finale for Oregon State, but the Beavers are assured of a postseason berth after the NCAA awarded the club a regional host for next weekend, starting Friday. The NCAA selection show for the entire field will be announced at 9:30 a.m. PT Monday morning on ESPN.
