What to watch: A win Friday against Holy Cross would give the Beavers 50 wins in a season for just the third time in school history. Oregon State won 50 in 2006 (national championship season) and 52 in 2013. The Beavers can hit, they can field and they can certainly pitch. Six pitchers have an ERA of 1.39 or lower, including two starters.
Who to watch: Pitcher Jake Thompson is scheduled to start Friday's game against Holy Cross, which means if Nebraska beats Yale, the Huskers are likely to see one of the top left-handed pitchers in the nation in Luke Heimlich.
