Best 59-Game Starts in Oregon State History

Oregon State is now 44-15, tied with 2006 for the fifth-best 59-game start in program history behind 2017's 55-4 start, the 48-10-1 start in 2018, the 48-11 start in 2013, and the 44-15 finish in 2014.  Game 59 was the final game of the 2014 season, so 2022 Oregon State passes 2014 after completing game one of the Corvallis Regional.  Game 59 was the loss to Miami in 2006.  Oregon State can break the tie with 2006 by sweeping the Corvallis Regional and Corvallis Super Regional.  Aside from 2014, 2022 Oregon State cannot pass any other teams.  2022 Oregon State must outlast the other three teams.  Oregon State can surpass the 2017 season by playing in a 63rd game.  That means 2022 Oregon State passes 2017 by winning the Corvallis Regional.  2013 Oregon State ended with game 65.  2022 Oregon State guarantees passing 2013 by winning five games.  That can happen in the Corvallis Super Regional or at Omaha.  In order to pass 2018,  2022 Oregon State would need to play in a 69th game, which no Beaver team has ever done.  Oregon State can get to game 69 by game two of the College World Series.
