OMAHA, Neb. -- Didn't see much of Oregon State before Saturday at the College World Series, other than that gaudy record, which looked a little too good to be true?
Here's my report: The Beavers are for real.
They're opportunistic and balanced and disciplined and supremely confident. And they're going to be one tough out on Monday for LSU, the other winner Saturday in Bracket One - 5-4 over Florida State -- as play opened at TD Ameritrade Park.
