A timely pitching performance by precocious Kevin Abel and a five-run third-inning explosion puts Oregon State in the College World Series championship series as the Beavers beat the Mississippi State Bulldogs 5-2 Saturday night at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Neb.
Oregon State (53-11-1) returns to the championship series for the first time since 2007, when the Beavers won the second of back-to-back national titles.
The Beavers face Arkansas (47-19) in Game 1 at 4 p.m. Monday (TV on ESPN, live stream on Watch ESPN). Game 2 is Tuesday, and Game 3, if necessary, is Wednesday.
