May 29, 2011
CORVALLIS, Ore. - The Oregon State baseball team will be one of 16 programs from across the nation that will host a postseason regional, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) announced Sunday.
The announcement came at 12:30 p.m. PT, approximately 30 minutes prior to the Beavers' regular season finale at Oregon's PK Park. It marks the fourth time in the history of the program OSU will host a regional, and the third time since 2005.
It will be held starting Friday, June 3, and continues through Sunday, June 5. An "if necessary" game will be played Monday if Sunday's action does not determine a regional winner. Times for each game will be announced later this week.
The regional will be dubbed the "Corvallis Regional" and will feature the Beavers and three other teams that will help comprise the field of 64. The entire field will be announced on the selection show Monday morning at 9:30 p.m. PT on ESPN. The show will last 30 minutes.
