Last Game

Against Stanford
• Oregon State is 47-46 all-time versus Stanford, and the teams are tied at 24 in games played at the Cardinal's home field.
• The Beavers won 13 consecutive games at Sunken Diamond from 2009-17, which included sweeps in 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017. Stanford ended that streak with a 8-5 win in the first game of 2019, but the Beavers won the last of the two-game series (shortened due to rain), 5-2.
• The Beavers are 19-3 in their last 22 games versus the Cardinal.
To 56; Schedule Note
• Provided the Beavers and Cardinal play all three games of the series, Oregon State will end the regular season as the only team in the Pac-12 to play a full 56-game schedule.
• Oregon State is ending Pac-12 play on the road for the first time since the 2014 season when the Beavers played their last three at USC. OSU also ended its then-Pac-10 slate at Stanford in 2009.
Boyd's Last Three
• Justin Boyd takes a three-game series into the series with Stanford after hitting safely in each game versus Arizona.
• Boyd went 5-for-11 in the three games versus the Wildcats, posting a double, one triple and an RBI while scoring one run.
• He set a career-high with three hits in the finale Sunday.
More Streaks
• Troy Claunch is riding a 14-game hit streak and is 23-for-56 (.411) after going 2-for-4 Sunday.
• Wade Meckler went 3-for-5 Sunday to push his to a season-long nine games. He is 15-for-38 (.395) during it).
• Kevin Abel needs one strikeout to reach the 100-strikeout plateau for the second time in his career. He is already one of just 13 pitchers in school history to reach it once and would join Jonah Nickerson (2005-06) and Luke Heimlich (2017-18) in doing so twice.
