The Oregon State Beavers either moved up or held ground in all four major college baseball polls following last week's series win over Stanford.

Wilson Weber, Dallas Macias and Gavin Turley delivered big performances at the plate to help lead the Beavers to Friday and Saturday wins over the Cardinal. In Sunday's finale, Oregon State fell 11-10 after Stanford's Charlie Saum hit a ninth-inning, go-ahead home run.

As a result, the Beavers (29-5, 10-4) held strong at No. 5 in the Division I Baseball rankings. OSU is one of just three Pac-12 teams that cracked the top-25. Oregon (25-10, 10-5) jumped from No. 18 to No. 16. Arizona (21-13, 10-5) entered the rankings at No. 21.

Here is where the Beavers and the Ducks currently sit in the rest of the major college baseball polls.
