The Oregon State Beavers are headed to Oklahoma City for the Women’s College World Series. After yesterday’s 3-1 victory over the Cardinal, the Beavers only needed one more win to take the Stanford Superregional, and they got it Saturday afternoon when an impressive defensive showing gave them a 2-0 victory.
The only scoring today came in the bottom of the first inning. Kiki Escobar and Eliana Gottlieb each hit singles to give Oregon State a pair of runners, and a Frankie Hammoude walk loaded the bases. After two strikeouts Oregon State was in trouble, but Grace Messmer came to the plate and hit a shallow shot to left field, scoring Escobar and Gottlieb.
