Done With Pac-12 Play, But A Note
Oregon State is guaranteed of winning the Pac-12 by at least six games, the largest margin since Stanford won the Pac-10 South by six in 1985. The Beavers spent every day of Pac-12 play in first place. They held sole possession of first in 29-of-30 days.

Bye Week To Cap 2017 Regular Season
Oregon State is playing a non-conference series at the end of the season due to a bye week on the Pac-12's conference schedule. The Beavers last had a bye to end the regular season in 2008, sweeping Pacific at Goss Stadium.

Thompson Earns Another Honor
Jake Thompson enters the series as the reigning Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week after being recognized for the second time this season on Monday. He held WSU to just two hits in a complete-game effort Saturday. OSU's pitchers have been honored seven times this season, tying 2011 UCLA for the most since the Pac-10 unification in 1999.

Going For 46
Oregon State is looking for its 46th win of the season. Getting that win against Abilene Christian would set an Oregon State regular season record, surpassing the 2013 Beavers, who had 45.

Singles
• The Beavers are 18-1 in non-conference play, including an 8-0 record at Goss.
