A rundown of games and events to watch for locally and nationally from the world of sports:

Today

College World Series, Oregon State vs. Louisville, noon (ESPN2): The Beavers find their backs to the wall in a loser-out game against the Cardinals in Omaha, Neb. OSU has been in this position before, in 2006, when the Beavers rallied after a first-round loss to Miami and won the first of two consecutive national titles. See below and B5 for more OSU coverage.

Tuesday

NBA Finals, Game 6, San Antonio at Miami, 6 p.m. (ABC): After Sunday’s win (see story below), the Spurs lead the series 3-2 and are one win away from dethroning the Heat. Miami will need to win twice at home to defend its title. Game 7, if necessary, is Thursday at 6 p.m., also on ABC.

Wednesday

MLB, Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Yankees, 4 p.m. (ESPN2): It’s not every day that these two storied franchises and former neighbors get together. Both teams have been struggling of late with their big payroll rosters. The Dodgers are 10 games under .500, while the Yankees have lost five of six.

Sunday

PGA Professional National Championship, through June 26 (Golf Channel): The 46th edition of this tournament, four days and 72 holes of stroke play, will be staged at Sunriver Resort on the Crosswater and Meadows courses. A field of 312 top PGA of America players will compete for 20 berths in the 95th PGA Championship in August, and for shares of a $550,000 purse — $75,000 of which goes to the winner. Spectators are welcome; admission is free.

Sunday

2013 Pickett’s Charge! Mountain Bike Race, 10 a.m.: Hundreds of riders in classifications ranging from beginner (13 miles) to elite (25 miles) will start and finish at Wanoga Sno-park west of Bend, tearing across the Tiddlywinks and Funner trails in pursuit of cash prizes.
