Oregon State Notes
• The 4,024 in attendance Saturday marked the ninth-largest crowd in Goss Stadium history. It's also the fourth-largest regular-season crowd, trailing only 4,275 vs. UCLA (May 21, 2022), 4,128 vs. UCLA (May 20, 2022) and 4,026 against Oregon (May 7, 2022).
• Oregon State is averaging a Pac-12 best 3,455 fans per home game this season. That would rank fourth in the Oregon State single-season records.
• The Beavers are aiming for an 8-0 record at home in April. OSU is 13-4 overall in the month. The Beavers were 14-4 in April last season.
• Oregon State has won its 10th three-game series against Arizona in Corvallis. OSU is looking for its fourth sweep.
• The Beavers are 11-3 in their last 14 games at home versus the Wildcats dating back to 2015.
• The Beavers are 22-for-68 (.324) in the first two games of the series. Notably, Oregon State's pitching staff has limited Arizona, the Pac-12's top team batting average-wise, to 12 hits in 63 at bats (.190). The Wildcats also have just two extra-base hits.
• Oregon State has won eight straight at home, tied for the eighth-longest active mark nationally.
• The Beavers' four runs allowed per game ranks third nationally. OSU trails only Wake Forest (3.1) and South Carolina (3.9).

• Garret Forrester extended his reached base streak to 41 games with a first-inning single on Saturday.
