OSU won national titles in 2006 and 2007 with Canham as the team's catcher.  • Oregon State is 21-12 all-time in Omaha. It's the Beavers' first visit since the 2018 national championship season.  • The Beavers are meeting Louisville for just ths second time. The first was also in Omaha, in 2013. Ben Wetzler picked up the win in the Beavers' 11-4 victory.  • Trent Caraway has six home runs in the postseason, the most ever by a Beaver in one year. He's also recorded 14 RBI; the OSU single-postseason record is 20 by Adley Rutschman in 2018.  • Gavin Turley has nine home runs in the postseason, the most ever by a Beaver. He's also driven in 26 runs over three seasons, tying Canham for the most in an OSU uniform.  • Oregon State, as a team, has hit 20 home runs over the first eight games in the postseason.
