Baseball takes on OSU in a 3-game conference series this weekend. The Beavers are reeling, having won just 1 of their last 12 games and coming off a sweep by Cal in which they were outscored 34-10. After spending the last 7 games on the road, the Beavers return to Corvallis for the next 9.

The Ducks' momentum is in the other direction, as they've risen to No. 15 in the Baseball America poll. Oregon is looking to win its 5th straight conference series, behind a weekend rotation with a combined ERA of 2.71. The Ducks' last game was a 3-1 loss to Portland in which Eddie Rodriguez accounted for 3 of the Ducks' 5 hits, including a solo shot in the bottom of the 9th.

Original Tuesday vs. Portland post after the jump:

Baseball games have spurred some long threads in Quack Fixes, so I figured I'd go ahead and make an open thread for this week's games. (I don't think a single game is worth a whole post). We're on CSN tonight, as in RIGHT NOW. Who else is watching?
