I also noticed we are going to Texas to play Arkansas... and a two other teams. I didn't lock in the date. Oregon State is scheduled to play Arkansas, Michigan, and Oklahoma State at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. (For those that don't know, that is where the Rangers play.) That series will be the Friday-Sunday following the trip to Surprise. It will be the first matchup between Arkansas and Oregon State, since Adley Rutschman tackled Kevin Abel in Omaha in 2018. It will be the first matchup between Michigan and Oregon State, since the Eddie Kunz to Joey Wong to Jordan Lennerton double-play to end the 2007 Corvallis Super Regional. Oklahoma State and Oregon State have played nine times: twice in 1991, once in 1999, once in 2003, once in 2009, once in 2015, and thrice in 2019. A 2020 trip to Stillwater was wiped out by COVID-19. |

Cal State Bakersfield started up its baseball team in 2009. This will be Oregon State's first meeting with Cal State Bakersfield. Oregon State played New Mexico every year that it won a National Championship. The last two postseason after Oregon State played New Mexico once was 2007. Oregon State has hosted a Corvallis Regional the last two times that the Beavs played Minnesota twice in a season. |

Since Surprise is about 850 miles closer (i.e. to Corvallis) than Arlington TX, it'd be a ++ for fans if there was a bit stronger field in the season opening weekend than there has been for the past several years.
The other three teams in Surprise (2024) finished the 2023 season at 210, 243, 253 in RPI.
I enjoy the February Arizona sun like most Oregonians do, but including at least one other good baseball program in the "Sanderson Ford College Baseball Classic" would sure make things more interesting.
