Are you ready for some BASEBALL???
"No. 2 Stanford (38-6, 17-4 Pac-12 Conference) at No. 4 Oregon State (36-6-1, 14-6-1)
What’s at stake for Stanford: A chance to all but put the Pac-12 title out of reach. The Cardinal can’t this weekend clinch the championship, but a series win would go a long way to wrapping up their first conference title since 2004. Stanford’s spot as a top-eight seed is secure already, but any hope of snatching the top overall seed away from Florida requires a series win at Oregon State.
What’s at stake for Oregon State: First place in the Pac-12. Oregon State is aiming for back-to-back Pac-12 titles for the third time under coach Pat Casey. A sweep this weekend would put the Beavers back in first place with two weekends left in the season. Winning two of three games would leave them in second place but would turn this race into a six-game sprint and solidify the Beavers as a top-eight seed. Oregon State has history on its side, as it’s won this series seven straight years, including five sweeps."
