Oregon State (7-6 overall, 0-0 Pacific-10) opens the 91st season of baseball at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field this week, playing a four-game homestand against Western Oregon (5-15, 0-0 Cascade Collegiate) and longtime Pacific Northwest rival Washington State (7-10, 2-1). The games against WSU will not count in the Pacific-10 standings, the teams will play their conference series in Pullman in late May.
OSU starts its home schedule on a hot streak, having won four straight games and six of its last seven after beating Washington 13-9 and 27-4 in a non-conference series last week in Seattle.
"We've made some progress," Oregon State head coach Pat Casey said. "Going to Washington and winning two games that we had really pointed toward was a good step for this club. Right now, we're hitting the ball pretty well and coming up with some runs at key times. We also came up with some solid performances on the mound up there in what can be a tough place to pitch.
"But there's a long way for us to go yet before we'll be competitive in the Pac-10 week-in and week-out. We've still got a few guys who need to get things going at the plate, and we've got to be more consistent with our pitching and defense. We got away with some mistakes last week that were the kind of things that could really cost us later on in the year. But, all in all, the last two weeks have shown that we're moving forward and we've just got to keep working hard to continue that."
Western Oregon, an NAIA program, will play at home against defending NAIA national champion Lewis-Clark State on Monday before facing the Beavers. The Wolves have had a tough early-season schedule, already having played defending NCAA Division II national champion Chico State and Division II national power Hawaii Pacific.
"They're a solid small-college club," Casey said of the Wolves. "They've been pretty well tested already this season, and I'm sure that's helped raise their level of play this spring."
Over the weekend, WOU dropped a doubleheader to Willamette by scores of 2-1 and 9-5 before splitting with George Fox with a 6-3 loss and a 13-3 win. The Wolves' roster includes a pair of former Oregon State players in senior catcher Kevin Edwards and junior pitcher Mike Gits.
Sophomore outfielder Joey Price leads Western Oregon at the plate, batting .360 with no homers and two runs batted in, while junior outfielder Jared Bailie is hitting .317 with no homers and three RBIs. Bailie is the brother of former Beaver first baseman Matt Bailie, who set the school's career RBI record from 1995-98.
Washington State is the early leader in the Pacific-10 race, having taken two of three games at California last weekend. The Cougars fell 7-6 in Friday's 11-inning series opener, then won 3-2 in 15 innings on Saturday and 6-3 on Sunday.
"When we saw them in Albuquerque (at the Spalding Baseball Fiesta), they looked like one of the best-hitting clubs I've seen in a long while," Casey said. "Our pitchers are going to have to be up to that challenge. And our hitters will have their work cut out for them, as well. Cal has some tough hitters and Washington State found a way to beat them, so they've got to be doing a lot of things right."
While the games against the Cougars won't have a bearing on the Pacific-10 standings, Casey expects the weekend series to have the same type of intensity that surrounded last weekend's games at Washington.
"Maybe it's nicer to beat one of the other Northwest teams in conference play," Casey said. "But over the past year or so since we've been playing non-league series against the old Northern Division schools, the losses have sure hurt every bit as much in non-league games and the wins have felt every bit as good. At least, I know it's been that way for me and I think our club has felt the same way.
"You put any two of of those three schools (OSU, Washington State and Washington) on the field together and it won't matter whether it's a league game or a non-league game, they're going to go at it pretty good. And that's just what I expect to see this weekend."

ALL-TIME VS. THIS WEEK'S OPPONENTS: Oregon State has an all-time record of 69-9 against Western Oregon in a series dating back to 1908, and the Beavers are on a 1-game losing streak against the Wolves. The teams have not met since 1995, when the Beavers took a 4-3 win in Corvallis and the Wolves won 6-3 in Monmouth.
The March 7 game is the same matchup as the first intercollegiate athletic event in Oregon State history. On April 14, 1883, a team from Oregon Agricultural College (now OSU) met a team from Monmouth Christian College (the forerunner of WOU) in a baseball game in Corvallis. In that game, OAC wound up on the short end of a 23-7 score.
Oregon State has an all-time record of 162-207-2 against Washington State in a series dating back to 1910, and the Beavers are on a 3-game winning streak against the Cougars. Last season, WSU swept a non-league series in Yakima, Wash., by scores of 6-2, 10-9 and 6-5, OSU swept a Pacific-10 series in Corvallis by scores of 13-4, 8-6 and 9-7.
The March 10-12 series will make Washington State the baseball opponent OSU has played more than any other, as the schools have currently met 371 times. Right now, Oregon State has also played Washington 371 times after last weekend's 2-game series in Seattle.
INJURY REPORT: Junior pitcher Don Stykel (right shoulder) is questionable. Junior catcher Kory Thaut (right shoulder) is probable.
RECENT OREGON STATE NOTES: In last weekend's 2-game series at Washington, Oregon State's team batting average was .419 and the Beavers' team slugging percentage was .763... over the past 2 weeks, OSU is batting .375 as a team and is averaging 12.1 runs and 15.3 hits per game. During that time, OSU's team batting average has risen from .229 to .317 ... senior first baseman Joe Gerber, OSU's All-America candidate, is on a 7-game hitting streak, during that streak, he's batting .469 (15-for-32) with 6 doubles, 13 runs batted in, 12 runs scored and 6 walks. Gerber is also riding a 55-game errorless streak in the field ... in his last 2 starts, junior lefthander Scott Nicholson is 2-0 with a 3.86 earned run average, he has averaged 7.0 innings, 6 hits, 3 runs (3 earned), 1 walk and 7.5 strikeouts per game during that time ... senior outfielder Drew Hedges is on a 6-game hitting streak, during that streak, Hedges is batting .565 (13-for-23) with 1 double, 1 homer, 7 runs batted in, 10 runs scored, 4 walks and 2 stolen bases in 3 attempts ... sophomore outfielder Josh Carter is on a 6-game hitting streak, during that streak, Carter is batting .500 (14-for-28) with 5 doubles, 1 triple, 1 homer, and 9 RBIs. All 9 of those RBIs have come in OSU's last 3 games ... OSU has had impressive batting averages up and down the lineup over the past 2 weeks. In those 7 games, marks include freshman catcher Chris Biles, 1.000 (5-for-5), Hedges, .565 (13-for-23), Gerber, .469 (15-for-32), Carter, .458 (11-for-24), freshman third baseman Brian Barden, .407 (11-for-27), 1 double, 1 homer, 8 RBIs, senior first/third baseman Tim Dryden, .364 (8-for-22), 1 double, 1 triple, 1 homer, sophomore catcher Bryan Ingram, .344 (11-for-32), freshman shortstop Will Hudson, .320 (8-for-25), 2 doubles, 6 RBIs ... over the last 2 weeks, senior righthander James Atwood is 2-1 with a 2.31 ERA, in 3 appearances out of the bullpen during that time, he has averaged just under 3.0 innings, 3 hits, 1 run (1 earned), 1.7 walks and 2.3 strikeouts per game... over the last 2 weeks, freshman righthander Stephen Copeland is 1-0 with a 4.85 ERA, in 2 appearances during that time, he has averaged just under 6.2 innings, 6 hits, 4 runs (3.5 earned), 2.5 walks and 3.5 strikeouts per game ... junior second baseman Zach Gordon broke out of his slump in a big way on March 5. Entering the series finale at Washington, Gordon was batting .111, that afternoon, he was 4-for-5 with 2 homers, 1 triple, 1 double and 4 RBIs. His 13 total bases were 1 short of OSU's single-game school record, set by Jim Wilson against Washington State in 1982 ... OSU's 27-4 win at Washington on March 5 was not OSU's highest run total or largest margin of victory in the Beavers' long series against the Huskies. Both those marks came in a 32-7 win in Corvallis in 1954 ... Rod Gott's grand slam at Washington on March 5 was the the Beavers' first since Jason Stranberg connected in the seventh inning of a 23-4 win at Portland State on April 17, 1998. OSU had gone the entire 1999 season without a grand slam ... OSU's 27 runs at Washington on March 5 were the Beavers' highest single-game total since a 33-3 win over Portland in Corvallis on May 6, 1997. Oregon State hadn't scored that many runs against a Pacific-10 Conference member since a 29-12 win at Washington State in 1955 ... OSU's 2-game sweep March 4-5 was the Beavers' first series sweep at Washington since taking a 2-game series in 1988.
LAST WEEK: Oregon State pushed its record above the .500 mark for the first time this season when it swept a 2-game non-league series at Washington, winning 13-9 on March 4 and 27-4 on March 5. It was OSU's first series sweep on the Huskies' home field since the Beavers took a 2-game series in 1988.
In the 13-9 victory on March 4, Oregon State rallied for 7 runs in the final 3 innings. Going into the seventh inning, OSU trailed 9-6 and Washington ace Jeff Carlsen had retired the last 9 Beaver hitters. But Hedges led off the seventh with a home run to right field, and Josh Carter added a 2-run double off releiver Matt Massingale to tie the game. After the first 2 Beaver hitters were retired to start the top of the eighth, OSU picked up 4 unearned runs against UW closer Taylor Grant on consecutive run-scoring singles by Gerber, Carter, Curtis Davis and Brian Barden to make it 13-9. Beaver pitcher James Atwood, who had come on to pitch the top of the seventh, went on to finish the game with 3 scoreless innings. Freshman shortstop Will Hudson was 2-for-4 with a two-run triple and a run-scoring double for the Beavers.
In the 27-4 win on March 5, Oregon State had five home runs - including two by Zach Gordon - among its 23 hits. Overshadowed by the Beavers' firepower at the plate on Sunday was the pitching of junior lefthander Scott Nicholson. He retired the first 9 hitters he faced, in 7 innings, he allowed just 1 run on 3 hits and 2 walks, striking out 10. Gordon was 4-for-5 with 2 solo homers, a 2-run triple, a double, 4 RBIs and 2 walks. Brian Barden had his first collegiate home run as part of a 4-for-7, 3-RBI day that also included a double, Josh Carter was 4-for-6 with a triple and 4 RBIs, and senior outfielder Rod Gott had OSU's first grand slam since the 1998 season and was 2-for-6 with 6 RBIs.
HEAD COACH PAT CASEY: Pat Casey is in his sixth season as Oregon State's head baseball coach. Casey currently has a record of 156-107-4 with the Beavers for a winning percentage of .592. His career record is 327-220-5, which includes 7 years at George Fox University in Newberg, for a winning percentage of .597.
Casey is the fourth OSU baseball head coach to reach 100 victories at the school, following Ralph Coleman (561), Gene Tanselli (115) and Jack Riley (613). Casey picked up his 100th OSU victory on Feb. 21, 1998 at San Diego.
Casey came to OSU from his alma mater, George Fox, after leading the Bruins to a 171-113-1 record and winning 3 NAIA District 2 titles at the school in Newberg, Ore.
ALL-AMERICA CANDIDATE JOE GERBER: Oregon State first baseman Joe Gerber (Portland, Ore./Grant HS) is coming off one of the finest offensive seasons in school history, and the senior has already begun collecting honors for 2000. The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association named Gerber to its preseason All-America second team. Gerber is currently batting .389 with 9 doubles and 20 runs batted in this season, he is currently on a 7-game hitting streak in which he is batting .469 (15-for-32) with 6 doubles, 13 runs batted in, 12 runs scored and 6 walks. Gerber is also riding a 55-game errorless streak in the field, dating back to early last season.
ALL-TIME RECORD: Oregon State's all-time record in varsity baseball is now 1,639-1,120-15, a winning percentage of .594. The Beavers' all-time win total ranked 40th among all NCAA Division I schools entering the 2000 season.
OSU's all-time record in conference games is now 740-518, a winning percentage of .588.
To break the numbers down one step further, since starting varsity baseball in 1907, the Beavers have scored 18,125 runs and allowed 13,772 runs. That's an average score of 6.53-4.96.
In its 90 seasons of varsity baseball, OSU has had 67 winning seasons, the Beavers finished at .500 another 4 seasons. The Beavers have won 20 pennants through the years. Oregon State began fielding a varsity baseball team in 1907 and has failed to field a team only 3 times since then - in 1917 due to World War I and in 1944 and 1945 due to World War II.
GOSS STADIUM AT COLEMAN FIELD: Oregon State has been playing on the same site since starting varsity baseball in 1907, making Goss Stadium at Coleman Field the oldest diamond in the Pacific-10 and one of the oldest in the country.
In 90 seasons at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field, the Beavers are 852-361-1 all-time at home for a winning percentage of .702. Since the start of the 1993 season, OSU is 101-32 at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field for a winning percentage of .759.
Goss Stadium was added to Coleman Field over the winter of 1998-99. The ballpark holds 2,000 fans, with the main grandstand seating 1,500 of those. The structure includes a press box, concession/lobby area, dugouts, locker rooms, restrooms and storage areas.
The playing surface has been completely rebuilt recently, with the infield undergoing renovation in 1996 and the outfield in 1998.
ALL-TIME HOME OPENERS: Oregon State will play its home opener March 7 when Western Oregon visits Goss Stadium at Coleman Field. The Beavers are 72-19 all-time in home openers, but last season's 5-2 loss to Southern California broke a string of 11 straight wins on Opening Day at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field. The Beavers have won 26 of their last 29 home openers.
BEAVER ATTENDANCE: The Beavers averaged 672 fans per home date in 1999. OSU drew three crowds of 1,000 or more for home games in 1999.
A season-high 1,246 turned out on April 17 for the dedication of Goss Stadium at Coleman Field and saw the Beavers beat California 11-5, that was the second-largest OSU home crowd of the 1990s. OSU also drew 1,164 on May 15 for an 8-6 win over Washington State and 1,035 on May 16 for a season-ending 9-7 win over WSU.
In the past 2 seasons, OSU has drawn 9 crowds of 1,000 or more after having just 5 crowds of 1,000 or more in the first 8 seasons of the 1990s.
OREGON STATE BASEBALL TICKETS: Season tickets for Oregon State's 22-date home schedule are now on sale. The tickets, which are $100 per seat, guarantee the same theater-style seat at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field for all Beaverhome games in 2000.
Single-game reserved seat tickets for OSU baseball are $6 each. Single-game general admission tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students through high school and senior citizens age 62 and over.
OSU students are admitted free with their All-Sports Pass. If they have not purchased an All-Sports Pass, OSU students are admitted for $1 with their student identification card.
Baseball is also part of the OSU 7-Sport Pass, which is good for general admission seating at all home contests in baseball, wrestling, men's and women's soccer, volleyball, gymnastics and women's basketball. The 7-Sport Pass is $130 for a family pass that admits 2 adults and 2 children, $80 for an adult pass, and $60 for a senior citizen or student pass.

TELEVISION BRINGS OUT BEST IN BEAVERS : Oregon State has been slated for a national cable television game in 2000, that coming when the Beavers play host to Stanford on May 6 in a game that will be broadcast on Fox Sports Net. The schedule for telecasts in the Pacific Northwest has yet to be announced by Fox Sports Net.
Oregon State has played on national cable television twice in the last 2 seasons, and the Beavers are 2-0 in those games. In 1999, OSU dedicated Goss Stadium at Coleman Field by beating California 11-5. In 1998, the Beavers beat Arizona 3-2 in a game marking the first visit to Corvallis by a Southern Division team in 27 years.
Oregon State wrapped up the 1990s with a 25-13 record in televised games, including 7-1 in national TV games.
OREGON STATE RADIO BROADCASTS: Oregon State baseball will again be broadcast this spring on KLOO-AM (1340) in Corvallis, with almost the entire Beaver schedule on the air. Some games may be pre-empted due to programming conflicts. Mike Parker, the voice of the Beavers, will handle the play-by-play duties along with John Warren and Kip Carlson.
OREGON STATE DUGOUT CLUB: The Oregon State Dugout Club is an organization devoted to the support of Beaver baseball. The group is open to the general public, dues are $75 per year.
Also, anyone entering the OSU Dugout Club Golf Tournament automatically gains club membership. This year's tournament will be held June 12 at Tokatee Golf Club in Blue River.
Over the past several seasons, projects financed by the OSU Dugout Club include batting cages at Coleman Field, helping finance trips that upgrade the quality of the Beavers' non-league schedule, and carpeting the baseball locker room in Gill Coliseum.
For more information on the OSU Dugout Club, call the OSU baseball office at (541) 737-5738.
BEAVERS FACE TOP-FLIGHT SCHEDULE: Again this spring, Oregon State will play one of the nation's most challenging schedules. The Beavers have 12 games scheduled against teams in the March 6 USA Today coaches poll - No. 3 Stanford, No. 7 Southern California, No. 12 Arizona State and No. 22 Fresno State. OSU has 9 more games against teams that received votes in the poll but did not make the top 25 - Arizona, Nevada, Ohio State and UCLA.
