No. 9 Beavers vs. No. 22 Ducks: Preview, starting lineup, how to watch baseball game
CORVALLIS The No. 9 Oregon State Beavers host the No. 22 Oregon Ducks Saturday night in Game 2 of a three-game series at Goss Stadium in Corvallis.
The rivalry matchup will air live on ESPN2.
The Beavers won the series opener, 2-0, Friday night, riding the brilliance of right-hander Aiden May, who stymied the Ducks with a career-best performance. The 6-foot-2 junior allowed just one hit — an infield single — over eight dominant innings, finishing with a career-high 14 strikeouts, as he helped the Beavers become the first team since March 2023 to hold Oregon scoreless.
The game did not come without drama.
Before the sixth inning, Oregon coach Mark Wasikowski requested that umpires check May for a for a foreign substance, a move obviously aimed at rattling the Beavers’ Friday night starter. It didn’t work.
May passed the inspection, then closed the door on the Ducks, retiring the next seven batters and nine of the final 10 he faced, allowing just one base runner over the final three innings.

He has converted nine of 10 save opportunities this season, but struggled last week, taking three losses as the Beavers languished through a four-game losing streak. … Travis Bazzana hit a solo homer in the third inning of Friday’s win, giving him 20 this season — one shy of Jim Wilson’s single-season school record. … The Beavers have won nine of their last 10 meetings against the Ducks. … Oregon State is 20-1 at Goss Stadium this season. … Gavin Turley went 2 for 4 with two doubles Friday, collecting two of the Beavers’ five hits in the game.

Central Oregon experiences a spectacular celestial event – the Northern lights – KTVZ
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — People stayed up late Friday night to catch a glimpse of a natural phenomenon — the Northern lights. If you went outside your door last night, you probably saw the dazzling Northern lights. Layers of pink, green, blue or orange painting the night sky.
For Central Oregon, it’s a treat to see the Northern lights. But for people as far south as Puerto Rico and Florida, this may be a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
The director of the Cascade Astronomy and Rocketry Academy, Bob Grossfeld, explained how this celestial event was possible.
Grossfeld said, “This event took place because of a solar eruption that took place a few days ago. And that material from the sun took about 36 to 48 hours to get to the earth. So we knew it was coming. And we know there are some that are going to follow that. So there have been large eruptions from the sun during what we call solar maximum. And so every 11 years we have a maximum of solar activity. This just happens to be the peak. So on 24-25, we expect to see this type of solar activity.”
Electronic devices like GPS that require satellite communication may be interfered with by an electrical storm like this.
Grossfeld said the lights will be most visible Saturday and Sunday nights. He predicts that your best chance to spot the lights will likely be between 11:30 p.m. and 12:30.
