Auburn, Oregon State set for winner-take-all Monday with Omaha trip on the line
Auburn and Oregon State are set for a pivotal Game 3 on Monday from Corvallis, Oregon after the Beavers took Game 2 on Sunday night.
Monday’s game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET and will air on ESPN2.
No. 14 Auburn brought the potential tying run to the plate in the ninth inning on Sunday night, but No. 3 Oregon State held on to beat the Tigers 4-3.
“I thought the guys were still competing,” Auburn coach Butch Thompson said. “Just a great college baseball game. We’ll be back tomorrow.”
Brooks Carlson, who was 2-for-4 with a run scored, is ready for Game 3.
“That’s what we signed up for,” Carlson said. “This opportunity is what every college baseball player dreams of. If you don’t grab it by the throat, you’re not supposed to be here. Every single one of us is prepared to play tomorrow and we know that we’re not done yet. We’re ready to go. We’ve got one more shot at this thing.”
He gone! 🎯

That was a hard fought game on both sides but now that Hjerpe and Ferrer are out of the way, I like our chances to make it to Omaha.
I bet Hjerpe will come off the bench tonight. Just like he did against Vandy.
I doubt it, there’s a reason he missed game 1 and he wasn’t 100% last night
Also, Hjerpe didn’t pitch back to back games against Vandy
I can see Ferrer coming back out to close. His PC was reasonably low.
I’m not sure he can. Kinda hazy on relief pitchers. Ferrer threw 41 over 3.1 innings. Isn’t it over 3 innings and you gotta rest?
With that PC I mean
Really need this one. I still do not understand why they are staying an hour and a 1/2 away…
I know it is being downplayed but that cannot help
Hopefully they will get the win tonight and move on to Omaha!
I’m dragging at work today after staying up for that last night. Great game.
