On a rainy day in Tempe, Arizona, Vanderbilt topped defending national champion Oregon State 8-1. The story of the game was sophomore lefty Mike Minor, who dominated in 6 innings pitched. He struck out six and walked none, allowing only one earned run. Minor even picked off a few baserunners with quick snap throws over to first. Ryan Flaherty extended his 35 game hit streak from last year to 36, collecting 2 hits, a sac fly, and 4 runs batted in. Pedro Alvarez walked twice and was hit by a pitch. He also made two nice plays at third, ranging to his left and making strong throws across the diamond. Right fielder Dominic de la Osa, a pre season all american by numerous publications, went 2-5. For the Beavers, starter Mike Stutes lasted only 4.0 innings, allowing 4 earned runs on 7 hits.
