Last Game
Andy Armstrong hit his first home run of the season and Adley Rutschman posted his 14th of the season in an 18-4 win over Washington State Friday night. Rutschman's seventh-inning grand slam capped a nine-run frame. Armstrong's solo home run pushed the Beavers to a 3-0 lead in the second.

Fehmel Vs. The Cougars
Saturday's probable starter, Bryce Fehmel, will be making his third career appearance against Washington State. The righty has allowed eight hits and two runs in 7 1/3 innings versus the Cougars, striking out five.

Casey's Big Stretch
Joe Casey was 3-for-4 in Friday's win, posting his fourth consecutive multi-hit effort. Casey is 11-for-17 over that stretch, adding four doubles, two home runs, nine runs scored and five runs batted in.

Rutschman Watch
Adley Rutschman moved into a tie for 10th all-time at Oregon State with 25 career home runs. He's still fourth in RBI, but his five Friday night gave him 167, two shy of Joe Gerber (1997-2000) for third. Rutschman tallied two hits to move into eighth with 207. And he's now ninth with 140 runs after scoring twice.

Ober, Dukart Push Their Streaks
Ryan Ober finished Friday 1-for-2 with two RBI and three runs scored, extending his hit streak to a season-long eight games. He is 12-for-27 during the streak. Jake Dukart also extended his hit streak to six games with a double and two RBI. He is 10-for-24 with seven RBI during his streak.

Attendance
Friday's series-opening crowd of 3,800 is the second-largest home crowd attendance of the season for OSU, trailing only the 3,931 in game three of last weekend's series versus Arizona. The 3,800 is tied for the 11th-best attendance at Goss Stadium, and the fifth-largest mark for a regular season game. The Beavers have totaled 60,922 fans at Goss this season, an average of 3,584 per home date, a total of 17 games.

Singles
• The Beavers, coupled with Stanford's 6-3 loss against Arizona, moved into first place by half a game. Oregon State has won 14 of its last 15 conference games.
• The 18 runs were the most in a conference game since scoring 19 vs. WSU on May 5, 2008 in 19-9 win in Pullman.
