Last Game
Ryan Dunn hit a single to the left center gap in the bottom of the 10th to drive in the game-winning run in a 5-4 win over No. 12 Stanford on Sunday at Goss Stadium. The win gave the Beavers their first series win over Stanford at home since 2006. Dunn’s single narrowly evaded the glove of centerfielder Jake Stewart, driving in Joey Matthews from third after OSU had loaded the bases with two outs.
30-Win Plateau Again
The Beavers’ victory on Sunday was the club’s 30th of the season, putting OSU at that mark for the fourth consecutive season and eight of nine. Head coach Pat Casey has won at least 30 games in 13 of his 18 seasons at OSU.
Midweeks
The game against Oregon Tuesday is one of two remaining that are classified as midweek contests for the Beavers, with a May 15 game against Portland also on the schedule. The Beavers are 5-0 in games played on Monday or Tuesday this season, including a 4-0 record away from Goss Stadium.
Dunn’s Modest Streak
Ryan Dunn pounded out two hits in Sunday’s win to push his hit streak to six games. It’s his second-longest streak of the year behind a 12-gamer from March.
More Quality Starts
The OSU starting staff recorded three quality starts in the series victory over Stanford and the Beavers improved to 18-6 when that happens. Ben Wetzler, Jace Fry and Dan Child combined to allow 16 hits and five earned runs in 23 innings against the Cardinal for an ERA of 1.96.
