The Oregon State Beavers saw their 2026 campaign conclude with a 4‑1 defeat to the Oregon Ducks in the Regional Final at PK Park, finishing the year at 45‑14.
Wyatt Queen delivered a solid start, striking out seven batters over 4.2 innings, but the Beavers’ offense could only muster a single run in the early going.
Oregon answered back in the third inning when Jack Brooks drove in a run, tying the game before the Beavers reclaimed the lead with Adam Haight’s RBI single in the second.
The turning point came in the seventh inning, where a cascade of defensive miscues and a wild pitch allowed the Ducks to plate three unearned runs, shifting momentum decisively.
Reliever Zach Edwards entered in the eighth, striking out two of the final five batters and picking off a runner, but the damage had already been done.
With the victory, the Ducks secure a berth in the Super Regional, where they will meet the Texas Longhorns in a bid for a spot at the Men’s College World Series in Omaha.
What’s Next for the Beavers?
Despite the loss, the Beavers’ roster features a wealth of talent that should remain competitive next season, with pitching depth and a potent lineup poised for another strong campaign.
