Oregon State’s dominant regional comeback sets them up for more postseason success

Like Mike Tyson said, everybody has a plan until they get beaten in Game 1 of the NCAA baseball regional at home.

Oregon and Oregon State responded differently to getting punched in the mouth last week.

The Ducks went meekly into the offseason while the Beavers rallied in dominant fashion, winning four straight elimination games by a margin of 50-6 to set up this weekend’s Super Regional against Florida State.
