Going For No. 40
Oregon State is looking for its 40th win of the season Friday, and in doing so, would become the second program in school history to reach that milestone during the regular season. The 2005 Beavers advanced to an NCAA Regional with a 41-9 record.
Also Going For 19
The Beavers are also going for win No. 19 in Pac-12 Conference play. A 19th victory would tie the 2005 team for the most league wins. The 2005 team went 19-5 en route to a Pacific-10 Conference championship.

Batting Around
Oregon State's five-run fifth inning Friday saw the Beavers send nine or more to the plate for the 12th time this season. Of those 12, four have come during Pac-12 play.
