OREGON STATE GAME NOTES – vs. North Carolina – June 24, 2007
With his two-run home run in the second inning of Sunday’s game, Oregon State shortstop Darwin Barney set OSU’s record for career hits; the homer was the 237th hit of Barney’s career. The old record was held by Jacoby Ellsbury, with 236 hits from 2003-05.
Oregon State undergraduate assistant coach Kurt Steele was back in Omaha for Sunday’s game. Steele returned to Corvallis on Thursday morning and was married on Saturday; he and his wife, the former Kathy Gellatly, are scheduled to return to Omaha on Sunday morning.
Jordan Lennerton became the third OSU player to homer in back-to-back College World Series games. Mike Lissman had homered this season against Cal State-Fullerton and Arizona State, while in 2006 Shea McFeely homered against Miami (Fla.) and Rice.
Oregon State’s Anton Maxwell finally got to pitch in the College World Series after missing out on the experience in 2005 and 2006. Maxwell was OSU’s third starter in 2005, when the Beavers were eliminated in 2 games; he was not on the squad that Oregon State brought to Omaha in 2006.
Of Oregon State’s 46 home runs this season, 13 came in the postseason.
Oregon State’s 4 appearances in the College World Series have all been all-or-nothing affairs. The Beavers went 0-2 in 1952 and 2005, and they won national titles in 2006 and 2007.
Until North Carolina took the lead in the first inning of Sunday’s game, Oregon State had a streak of 50 innings at the College World Series without having trailed, dating back to the middle of the fourth inning of the second game of the 2006 championship finals against North Carolina on June 25. That tied for the second-longest streak in CWS history, set by Texas in 1950 and 1952. The longest such streak is Missouri’s 71 innings in 1954 and 1958.
Oregon State also had a streak of 61 innings this season without trailing, dating back to the middle of the second inning at Virginia on June 5 in the NCAA Charlottesville Regional.
For the College World Series championship finals, OSU is having its games broadcast in Spanish over four stations on the LaX network in the Pacific Northwest. Juan Dios Andrade arrived in Omaha on Friday and is calling the play-by-play. Andrade and broadcast partner Eligio Montes broadcast every OSU home game this season; the Beavers’ football games have been broadcast in Spanish since 2003.
Oregon State becomes the first back-to-back champion since LSU in 1996-97. Oregon State becomes only the fifth team in MCWS history to repeat as national champion: Oregon State (2006-2007), LSU (1996-1997), Stanford (1987-1988), Southern California (1970-1974) and Texas (1949-1950).
Oregon State becomes the first team in MCWS history to win four straight games by six runs or more.
Oregon State becomes the first team to win the MCWS that was seeded in the lower half of the tournament field since regional seeding began in 1988.
Oregon State becomes the first No. 3 seed to ever win a national title since the current 64-team format was introduced in 1999.
Oregon State becomes the first team to win the MCWS with a below .500 conference record.
Oregon State improves to 11-6 all-time in the MCWS, including wins in 11 of its last 12 MCWS games.
Tar Heel Dustin Ackley’s RBI in the first inning snapped Oregon State’s 50 inning streak of not trailing in the MCWS. The streak of 50 innings places them second behind Missouri (71 innings in 1954 & 1958) and ties them with Texas (1950 & 1952). The run also snapped Oregon State’s 61 inning streak of not trailing, which spanned all the way back to June 5 in the second inning against Virginia.
Oregon State becomes the 22nd team to go undefeated in the MCWS. Most recently it was done by Texas (2005 and 2002), Miami (2001and 1999), and LSU (2000, 1997, 1996).
Oregon State improves to a national-best 11-1 in the 2007 NCAA Tournament and has won 10 straight NCAA Tournament games.
*-Oregon State averaged 12.2 hits a game in the MCWS and had 10 or more hits in four of their five games at the MCWS. Arizona State – 18, UC Irvine – 11, North Carolina – 12, North Carolina – 13.
Mike Stutes’ five strikeouts left him in second place on Oregon State’s all-time season strikeout list with 124, only two behind Jonah Nickerson (131 in 2006).
John Wallace’s triple in the seventh inning game him three on the year, tying him with Chris Hopkins for the team lead with three. It also tied a MCWS Finals single-game record.
