Game Notes

San Marcos
, Texas – Texas State boasts a three-game winning streak headed into this weekend's series, but the momentum will be tested as the Bobcats face No. 3 Oregon State. Texas State stands at 5-7 on the season while the Beavers are undefeated at 12-0.
 
Texas State's strength in the early going of the season has been pitching with the team's top two pitchers carrying just 1.59 and 0.41 earned run averages. The Bobcats are tops in the Western Athletic Conference in strikeouts (110), strikeouts looking (37) and opposing batting average (.230), but Oregon State may be just as tough from the mound.
 
The Beavers boast a team ERA of just 0.83 with eight pitchers that have combined for 44.6 innings pitched in 22 appearances and can still claim a 0.00 ERA. The likely starters Texas State will face have a combined eight wins and struck out 50 batters in a combined nine appearances.
 
Meanwhile Oregon State is batting .288, just a little higher than Texas State's .247. The Beavers have four home runs on the season to one for the Bobcats.
