USC also has one of the better starting pitchers in the conference, and Oregon State will see him in game one of the series. Lefthander Tommy Millone is 5-5 on the season with a 3.01 ERA and 83 strikeouts in 80.2 innings pitched. Opposing batters hit only .244 against him, and he has good control, allowing only 18 walks in his 80-plus innings of work.
The Beavers will have their work cut out for them, and getting at least one win is a must if the team is going to hold its spot in the postseason.
The team has its sights set on winning the series and finishing the regular season strong. Last year that was ultimately what fueled the Beavers' run toward their second consecutive national championship. With a little luck, maybe that could happen again.
"It's a huge series," Blake Keitzman said. "If we do make a regional… we want momentum going in, so our ultimate goal is just to go in there and take all three [games]."
Friday's game starts at 7 p.m. and will be broadcast on the Beaver Sports Network. Saturday's game starts at 1:30 p.m., and Sunday's starts at 1 p.m.
