CORVALLIS – Oregon State baseball coach Pat Casey said Tuesday that the Beavers would be without two key pieces for their first weekend of the season.
Sophomore closer Mitch Hickey (back) and freshman outfielder Trevor Larnach (foot) will both miss OSU's first stretch of games at the Surprise Tournament in Arizona, which begins Friday against Ball State.
"It's just a day-by-day thing with both those guys," said Casey, who is entering his 22nd year coaching the Beavers.
Hickey was a Collegiate Baseball and NCBWA Freshman All-American last season, recording 11 saves while securing a 4-1 record and 2.
