Beavers and Bears Prepare for Third Clash in Corvallis

A tightly contested series heads into its final game with playoff implications

Oregon State and Mercer are set to resume their three‑game series on March 28, 2026, at Goss Stadium in Corvallis, Oregon. The first‑pitch is scheduled for 3:05 p.m. Pacific Time, and the contest will be carried live on a mix of radio, television and online streaming platforms, giving fans multiple ways to follow the action.

Highlights from the opener

The previous meeting produced a back‑and‑forth 7‑5 victory for the Beavers, highlighted by Bryce Hubbard’s two‑run double in the eighth inning that put Oregon State ahead, a run‑scoring double from Easton Talt that tied the game at five, and a solo homer from Paul Vazquez in the fourth. Dax Whitney fanned 13 opponents and earned the win, while Zach Edwards closed the game with 11 strikeouts over his last three outings. Relief pitcher Albert Roblez recorded his eighth save of the season, and AJ Singer extended his hit streak to eight games.

Oregon State arrives at the rematch riding a 14‑2 record when they score first and has won 14 of their last 15 contests, a stretch that includes a six‑game home winning streak. The team’s offense is anchored by Bryce Hubbard, who tops the club with a .343 average, and Paul Vazquez, who has homered in back‑to‑back games. On the mound, starter Ethan Kleinschmit brings a 15‑strikeout stretch over his last 16 innings, having allowed just three runs in that span.

The broadcast will again be available across radio, television and online streaming services, ensuring that supporters both locally and afar can watch the final showdown. With the Beavers aiming to extend their momentum and Mercer hoping to flip the script, the upcoming contest promises another tightly contested game that could shape the early season narrative for both programs.
