Road game changed
Stanford baseball announced that the Oregon State baseball team's game with the Cardinal Saturday night will now start at 6 p.m. PT, instead of the originally scheduled time of 1 p.m.
The move was necessitated to accommodate Stanford's Fireworks Night. Originally scheduled after Friday night's game, which is also a 6 p.m. start, it needed to be moved after Stanford learned that its softball team would be hosting Arizona in a televised NCAA Super Regional game at the same time.
Sunday's finale between the Beavers and Cardinal is still scheduled for 12 p.m.
