Against Dallas Baptist
• Oregon State is set to meet Dallas Baptist for the fifth time in school history, and the first since 2015 when the Patriots won an elimination game, 7-1.
• The Beavers won 2-of-3 in a series in Corvallis in 2005.
Neutral-Site Matchup
• Oregon State has played in just four neutral-site games this season, all in Surprise, Ariz., and is 3-1.
• OSU opened the season with a 3-2 loss to Kansas State but went on to defeat New Mexico (14-1), Gonzaga (20-4) and New Mexico, again (5-2).
• The Beavers hit .376 with 10 doubles, four triples and six home runs in the four games.
• OSU's pitchers struck out 35 in 36 innings and posted a 2.25 ERA in the four games.
20th Postseason
• The Beavers' appearance at the Fort Worth Regional marks Oregon State's 20th all-time postseason berth. It is the first under Mitch Canham, who is in his first full season leading the program.
• The NCAA Regional will mark the Beavers' 14th postseason appearance since 2005.
Claunch Enters Regional Play At 17
• Troy Claunch extended his hit streak to 17 games in the Beavers' regular season finale. It's the longest streak by a Beaver since Cadyn Grenier hit safely in 27 straight games in 2018.
• Claunch is 28-for-69 (.406) during the streak. He has five doubles, three home runs and 12 runs batted in during it.
Singles
• Oregon State last played at TCU in the 2009 Fort Worth Regional, going 2-0 versus Texas A&M but 0-2 versus the host Horned Frogs.
• Wade Meckler has reached base safely in 19 consecutive games. That's one shy of the team's longest of the year, at 20, held by Garret Forrester.

• Oregon State is 17-8 in day games.
• OSU is 24-9 when scoring first.
