OMAHA, Neb. — The Oregon State Beavers play the Louisville Cardinals on Tuesday in an elimination matchup at the Men’s College World Series at Charles Schwab Field. The game will air live on ESPN and the first pitch is scheduled for 11:43 a.m. PT.
The Beavers landed in the elimination round thanks to a 6-2 defeat Sunday against the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers. They managed just two runs and seven hits as the lineup endured one of its least-productive games of the postseason.
As a result, Oregon State will have to win three elimination games over three days to reach the championship series. The winner of today’s OSU-Louisville matchup will advance to face the Chanticleers, needing to win a pair of games on Wednesday and Thursday.
