Beavers
Continued from B3
“I think the game, the in-
ning, the score, the matchups
all dictate that,” Canham said.
“Any of the guys that are going
to be traveling right now, I’d be
very confident with the ball in
their hand.”
As for the back end, with se-
nior Jake Mulholland and ju-
nior Mitchell Verburg, Oregon
State features one of the best
lefty-righty combinations in
the Pac-12. Mulholland, who
saved eight games in 2019,
figures to get first crack at the
closer role, but Canham said he
is not married to a traditional
one-closer system. Verburg,
who is finally healthy after two
elbow surgeries, has four career
saves and nasty stuff, and likely
will see his share of save oppor-
tunities, too.
Pandemic travel
The threat of COVID-19 has
affected virtually every aspect
of the 2021 college baseball
season, but the Beavers have
been largely protected by their
Corvallis bubble. That changed

Oregon State Beavers coach Mitch Canham, center, gathers the team

when they departed for Ari-
zona on Thursday.
Oregon State has imple-
mented a series of new travel
protocols to safeguard against
the coronavirus, which has in-
cluded extra planning ahead of
its first trip in 11 months.
The list of new guidelines is
extensive and includes every-
thing from practice planning
to eating to sleeping. Hotel
rooms and airplane seats will
be assigned, as much as possi-
ble, based on whether players
live together in Corvallis.
All the while, the entire
travel party will undergo test-
ing once or twice a week.
“Keeping the guys healthy so
they can go out there and com-
pete is extremely important,”
Canham said. “It’s high on our
priority list.”
The NCAA dismissed ros-
ter-size limitations for the 2021
season because they granted an
extra year of eligibility to Di-
vision I athletes amid the pan-
demic, so the Beavers have 45
Abel named to Golden Spikes
Award watch list
Abel hasn’t throw a pitch
yet this season, but he’s al-
ready generating postseason
award hype. USA Baseball
announced on Thursday that
Abel has been named to the
watch list for the 2021 Golden
Spikes Award, giving annually
to the top amateur player in
the country.
It’s the ninth time in the last
10 seasons that Oregon State
has had at least one player on
the watch list. Catcher Adley
Rutschman won the award in
2019.
Abel, who gained national
acclaim by winning four games
in the 2018 College World Se-
ries, is 10-1 with a 3.04 ERA
in his college career. Before
undergoing season-ending
surgery in April 2019, he had
appeared in 972/3 innings, re-
cording 133 strikeouts and
holding opponents to a .175
batting average.

U.S. edges Canada 1-0 in SheBelieves Cup — Rose Lavelle
scored in the 79th minute to give the United States a 1-0 victory
over Canada in the SheBelieves Cup on Thursday night. The de-
fending SheBelieves Cup champion U.S. team extended its win-
ning streak to 35 matches overall and 51 on American soil. Lavelle,
who came in as a substitute, picked up a loose ball off a free kick
and scored. The Canadians were competitive despite missing sev-
eral key players because of injury, including all-time leading in-
ternational goal scorer Christine Sinclair. Earlier Thursday, Brazil
defeated Argentina 4-1 in the tournament’s opening match.
CLIMBING
Pakistani officials declare 3 missing K2 climbers dead
— Three climbers who went missing earlier this month while
attempting to scale the world’s second-highest mountain, K2,
should now be considered dead, Pakistani officials said Thurs-
day. The announcement brings closure to a dramatic tragedy on
one of the most dangerous mountains to climb in the world. K2
had never been scaled in winter until only last month, when a
Nepalese team reached the peak. The three climbers — famous
Pakistani mountaineer Ali Sadpara as well as John Snorri of Ice-
land and Juan Pablo Mohr of Chile — lost contact with their base
camp while attempting their ascent of the 28,250-foot high K2,
sometimes referred to as “killer mountain.” Search efforts for the
missing climbers were called off last week amid bad weather.
