May 09, 2020 | Softball
Corvallis – The Beavers were scheduled to head into the final weekend of conference play this weekend hosting California for senior weekend. Unfortunately, we won't be honoring the 2020 seniors on Saturday but we will continue to look back on the accomplishments of Oregon State softball since the program began in 1975. Â
Join us in looking back at what had happened this past week in history from May 3-9.
