Last Game
Ryan Barnes drove in three to send the Beavers to a 7-3 win over Oregon Friday night in the Civil War series opener. Barnes drove in two in the OSU fifth inning and head coach Pat Casey won his 614th game with the Beavers.
Casey’s The Winningest
Pat Casey became the program’s all-time winningest coach with his 614th win Friday, surpassing Jack Riley. With three more wins, he will become the winngest coach in OSU history regardless of sport; wrestling’s Dale Thomas had 616 from 1957-90.
Barnes Extends His Streak
Ryan Barnes’ three hits on Friday night pushed his hit streak to a season-long five games. The junior is 9-for-21 (.428) during the streak. He’s pushed his overall average to .283, its highest point since April 3 when he was hitting .292.
Schultz Against Oregon
The Ducks are familiar with sophomore pitcher Scott Schultz but he has been stellar against Oregon in his career. The righty threw 3 1/3 scoreless innings on Friday to give him 17 in two seasons against UO. He’s allowed just two runs in those 17 innings for an ERA of 1.06.
