I just reviewed Oregon State for this weekend and they have fared better in conference play than Cal has. They have one more win but have played two more games (two rainouts at UCLA). The Beavers have beaten every conference opponent except for Washington. They have captured two series against Utah & Arizona State.
This season Oregon State is primarily winning if they receive an excellent pitching performance. Many of their twenty victories are either shutouts or low scoring affairs. The Beavers have the weakest hitting that I can remember seeing in the Pac12 and only score 2.5 runs per game. OSU has three starting pitchers that have gone the distance for victories in the Pac 9. Two are juniors and the Texas transfer is a senior. Their collective ERA is approximately 3.50. Their pitchers have yielded quite a few home runs, however. The Beavers have shutout UCLA & Oregon in conference play. They lost to Washington in Seattle, 1-0.
Cal had better have their hitting shoes on this weekend because they will face one of the best pitching staffs over three games that they have seen. None of the big three are easy pickings. This series will be determined by playing good softball. The base running mistakes & infield errors could prove costly to Chelsea Spencer & Co.
GO BEARS!
