Oregon State's baseball team is punching their ticket yet again to the College World Series, marking their eighth appearance, after an impressive show against Florida State with a 14-10 victory to clinch the Corvallis Super Regional, Oregon Live reports. The Beavers, with national championships in 2006, 2007, and 2018 under their belts, have a history of thriving on this stage.
In a nail-biting finale against Florida State, Nelson Keljo emerged as the closer, striking out Alex Lodise and sealing the win that sent the Beavers back to Omaha, a detail chronicled by OSU Beavers' official website. The victory was anything but assured, as Florida State managed to put up six consecutive runs, before Keljo's pivotal performance at the mound.
The Beavers' 2025 season has been solid, with the squad winning roughly 76% of their games if you count their single tie as a loss, according to statistics from KOIN. Contrast that with the upcoming opposition at the College World Series; including Louisville, a team with six CWS appearances but no titles to show for it just yet, their hunger for victory is unquestionable.
Oregon State boasts a respectable win-loss-tie record of 47-14-1 for the season, prior to the CWS, while Louisville's performance has also been notable, bagging a 65% win rate across 62 games played, KOIN observed.
