Last Game
Kavin Keyes drove in three, Tyler Smith tallied two hits and the ninth-ranked Oregon State baseball team swept Stanford in California for the first time in school history with a 6-4 win Sunday afternoon over the 17th-ranked Cardinal at Sunken Diamond. Keyes finished off his hot weekend by going 2-for-4 with three RBI in Sunday's victory. He ended the series by going 6-for-11 with six RBI. Smith also had a big weekend for the Beavers, finishing it 5-for-9 after he went 2-for-2 with two walks on Sunday.
27-7 Is Big News
Oregon State's 27-7 record ties the 2005 and 2007 clubs for the most wins through 34 games in any given season in school history. The Beavers' 8-1 Pac-10 record is the best for the team since the Pac-10 unified in 1999.
Keyes Gets A Pac-10 Honor
Kavin Keyes is riding a 14-game hit streak into the series, tying Andrew Susac for the longest by a Beaver this season. Keyes is the reigning Pac-10 Player of the Week, giving OSU three this season, the most since 2001.
And A Nine-Game Win Streak
Oregon State takes a nine-game win streak into the series, which is the team's longest of the season. The Beavers won 12 straight from Feb. 27 to March 19. A 10-gamer would make OSU the nation's lone program with two 10-game-plus win streaks this season.
TV Saturday
Oregon State's second televised game of the 2011 season will take place on Saturday in a 2:05 p.m. start. The game can be seen on ROOT SPORTS and KEZI 9.2. For more information on coverage areas, visit osubeavers.com.
