No. 8 Oregon State baseball vs. San Diego: Preview, starting lineup, how to watch series finale

CORVALLIS — The No. 8 Oregon State Beavers host the San Diego Toreros Sunday afternoon in a college baseball matchup at Goss Stadium in Corvallis.

First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m.

It’s the finale of a three-game series and the Beavers are seeking a sweep after earning wins in the first two outings.

OSU torched the Toreros 11-3 in the opener Friday night, as Nelson Keljo tossed five shutout innings and Trent Caraway belted a homer and three doubles, then escaped with a dramatic 2-0 walk-off win on Saturday.

It came with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, when right fielder Easton Talt golfed a low-and-inside fastball 385 feet to deep right field, touching off a wild celebration near home plate.

The blast delivered the Beavers their eighth consecutive win over San Diego.
