CORVALLIS – It comes as a bit of a surprise, especially in Corvallis, but the Oregon State baseball season has come to an end. The selection committee passed on the Beavers Monday for the 64-team NCAA baseball tournament. The exclusion snaps a school-record, seven-year streak of making the tournament.

It was an odd year for Pac-12 baseball. The league champion, Utah, has a sub-.500 overall record, there are no conference teams hosting regionals for the first time since the tournament expanded in 1999, and the Oregon State Beavers, a team that spent most of the season ranked and was the favorite to win the conference, is now done for the year.

The Pac-12 will be represented by four teams, conference champion Utah, and at-large teams Washington, Arizona, and Arizona State. Oregon State finished tied for third with Arizona and Arizona State, but the Beavers were the second team out of the field after North Carolina.

The Oregon Ducks, which had slim chances of extending their post season streak prior to getting swept by Stanford over the weekend, did not make the tournament.

The NCAA baseball tournament begins with regional games on Friday, June 3.

It feels a little hollow with the season now over, but Oregon State sophomore Luke Heimlich was named the final Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week on Monday. Heimlich threw his first-career complete game, a shutout of UCLA in the regular season finale on Sunday. He struck out a career-high eight and held the Bruins to five hits and no walks. The win pushed Heimlich’s record to 7-4 on the year. This is the first honor of Heimlich’s career and the 80th all-time for the Beavers. Oregon State’s Travis Eckert won the award the previous week.
