Oregon State Notables
• Oregon State's scheduled starter, Eric Segura, is making his conference debut. His first four career games have been in non-conference action.
• Segura has thrown at least five innings in all four starts, and his 5 2/3 against North Dakota State on March 3 is his season long.
• A win Sunday would not just the Beavers this sweep, but also push OSU's record to 18-1 this year. That would tie the for the best start over 19 games in program history, most recently matched in 2017.

• Bazzana is also now six hits shy of 200 for his career after posting three on Saturday.
